Earlier, people mainly use film to capture their memories. These reels are then kept in basement, attics, closets, and trunk and safety deposit boxes. Today, these people seek film to digital conversion. These films are available in different seizes – 8mm is common among people as they use it to a greater extent.

So, they can easily approach 8mm to digital conversion service provider to get your service. When your film to digital transfer land gets a new reel of film, then the first thing they generally do is take a complete look at the physical condition of film. Does your film stick together, creating what they actually think of as a hockey puck of the film? If film curved, warped or damaged?

If you think your reel is good on both of these counts, then they smell the reel to check for complete emulsion. They are of course not getting too closer or breathing deeply, but if they smell tell-tale vinegary scent of emulsion damage, then the film has in fact started to break down, it is in fact still possible to transfer these films, but the converted video will sometimes also have a complete yellowish tint to image.

Those of some film transfer technicians also check reel for debris and also dust. Fortunately, a large number of reels generally come from processing facilities in case of some sort, so many of reels are generally protected from grime and dust, and are also easily cleaned. Some are generally left with dirt, or also mold damage. This is the reason why many technicians clean and then condition the reels by hand with use of chemical free cleaner before they insert the reel into transfer equipment. This is something that generally keeps transfer quality high, and also keeps the lab equipment safe and running smoothly.

Sometime, there will be a great image quality problem that a physical inspection could not easily detect, and also that cleaning can’t be improved easily. Usually, there were certain problems in the way the film was generally taken. On 8mm camera, all these settings required to be adjusted in a proper way and manually. For instance, if any person holds the camera was actually shooting outside and then walked inside, then the change in the light would definitely create a complete marketed difference in the image quality. Setting, on the other hand, required to be adjusted for shifting light quality. In addition, camera focus was not always perfect.
