Step 4:

Choose your preferred media. We always recommend recording to an external USB hard drive. It's the best option for long-term storage, sharing, and editing your films.

If you're ordering DVDs and Blu-Rays, keep in mind that:

  • Blu-Rays can hold up to 70-minutes (2000' of 16mm; 1000' of 8mm/S8mm)
  • DVDs can hold up to 60-minutes (1600' of 16mm; 700' of 8mm/S8mm)

Step 3:

Determine the transfer charge for your order.

  • We price 16mm film by the foot, so simply add up your footage and multiply it by the transfer rate.               Example: 800 feet x $0.35 = $280.00

  • We price 8mm and Super 8 films by each 50 foot unit. Add up your footage, and divide it by 50. Multiply that number by the transfer charge.

  •  Example: 800 feet / 50 feet = 16 units    16 units x $17.95 = $287.20

Step 2:

Fill out your contact information on the order form. Please include an address for return shipping, as well as your e-mail address and your phone number. We will e-mail you once your film arrives in our studio.

Step 1:

Determine your preferred quality level of film transfer, either 1080p or 720p and print out the order form.

Step 9:

Check your inbox! Whenever we receive your film in our studio, we will send you an e-mail confirming its receipt. If we have any questions regarding your order, or if we estimate that the project's final cost will be higher than you anticipated, we will let you know up front and ask for your confirmation in order to proceed.

Step 7:

Assign a sequence to your films. That lets us know what order to put your reels together when we scan your project. If you have multiple formats (16mm, 8mm, and/or Super 8), please group them separately.

Step 6:

Choose your method of payment. We always prefer a check. If you pay by check, please make it payable to: DMG. If you would rather pay by credit card, include the card information on the bottom of the order form. If you would prefer us to call you for that information, we certainly can do that as well.  Just write "Call for card number."

Step 5:

Total your project's cost. Add up the charges for transfer, media, and flat-rate return shipping, and total them at the bottom of the order form.  Also remember to sign and date the form underneath the estimated total.  We always make our own estimate on incoming projects, so if you're not sure that you added everything correctly, don't worry! We will let you know up front if we think your order will cost more than you anticipated.

Step 8:

Pack your films for sending. Use a sturdy box and make sure it's well packed. Use paper, packing peanuts, or bubble wrap. Also make sure that you include you order form in the box, as well as a check if applicable. Once you're ready, ship the films off (we recommend FedEx or UPS), and we will let you know when they get here!
