Modern digital technology has gone leaps and bounds beyond what people could do in the past with just film. Many people are moving what they have on 8mm film to DVD NYC quality media. Sometimes people do this in order to have their old 8mm films restored. Other times it is to bring things like home movies to a media that is easier to watch. People need to make sure though that they have the legal rights to these things before they do any of that though.
Most people who move their 8mm film to DVD NYC quality media are doing it so that they can restore old film. 8mm film is in fact very fragile. It is very susceptible to environmental conditions. If it is being stored in a place that is too hot then it can warp and if it is being held in a place that is too cold then it could become very brittle. If it is being stored in a place like garage where the weather can be both very hot and very cold, then extreme temperature changes could also be doing a number on it. It is in fact best to move 8mm film to DVD NYC quality media because it is almost impossible to keep water out. Moving to a more durable media is really the best option.
Also, people made 8mm movies for a reason. That reason is that they want to watch it and remember it. This can be very hard to do when one needs to set up movie reels and a screen. Although that can have its own charm, most people would prefer to move their old 8mm film to DVD NYC quality media so that they can watch it whenever. It can be a real pain to set up an old projector. People also have to have a space that they can make dark enough to watch a movie like that. It is so much easier to just be able to put a DVD in a player and press play. Also, most places that can move 8mm film to DVD NYC quality media can also add some kind of music to the background. This can be a great, added feature as it can be somewhat awkward to watch a silent film these days.
Something people don’t often think about when moving their 8mm film to DVD NYC quality media is that they may not actually hold the rights. For some things it can be easy to determine. An old copy of Nosferatu for instance, cannot just be copied into another media. It is a movie and people own the rights to it. There are trickier things though like wedding footage that might have been taken professionally and will need permission to be copied from 8mm film to DVD NYC quality media.
