Almost Xmas - time for memories

It's usually around the holiday when family and friends get together and make memories. And that tradition has been photographed, video taped and recorded on a number of different types of media.

Since the invention of photography (its debatable either Louis Jacques Mandé Daguerre or Nicéphore Niépce) People have been trying to archive themselves for postarity. I started TorontoHomeMovies.com, USHomeMovies.com and FloridaHomeMovies.com with the idea that as technology has improved there are many people who have lost years of memories simply because there are not machines left to play them!

Weather you live in the USA or in Canada we can help you save your memories.

At FlordiaHomeMovies.com we are saving your 8mm film, super 8, 16mm , VHS tapes , Hi8 tapes , 35mm film and even your old records and LPs. By making them in at DVD digital version you can copy them over and over. Get your memories on DVD today!

How better to remember your memories forever than to convert all your 8mm, 16mm and Super 8 films on to 1 or a set of VHS tapes or DVDs. Our audio specialists can even convert your old LPs to CDs that can be played in your car or stereo. We will take your 8mm tapes, Hi8 tapes and Beta max tapes and make digital copies to DVD, usually in less than 3 days.

Remember the old family projector??? You know, the one that makes the stuttering sound and makes you throw your memories back to 'the Good ol' Days'? We remember it too, and while we remember it fondly, we also remember a few others things.

* Broken tapes
* Poor or No Sound
* Bulbs burning out
* Faded image quality
* Irreplaceable projector parts

Imagine, sitting down in your living room or den and spending some fun times with everyone simply by slipping in a VHS tape, Video-CD or DVD and pressing PLAY! We can even convert your 8mm old film to .avi or mpeg so that you can edit yourself in the future. How about giving us your VHS tapes or 16mm movies and we will convert the footage to Flash for internet viewing. We can even host!!

We can convert your 8MM, Super-8MM, 16mm movies to either VHS, Video-CD or DVD* media formats, letting you keep those movies for a long time to come in a way that lets you have all the nostalgia with a lot less of the nostalgic hardware that would otherwise go with it.

We convert almost any format to digital. Here is a list of the most popular:

8mm to DVD
Super 8 film transfered to MiniDV or DVD
VHS converts to DVD or .avi for future editing
16mm film with sound or without to DVCAM, then uploaded to Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0. We then color correct, sharpen and output to DVD.
MiniDV or 8mm or Hi8 or Digital8 transfered to DVD.
Audio tape to CD

We can scan all your family photographs and create slideshows to music then output to either the internet using Flash or create a VCD or DVD.

Another option that we offer is the ability to purchase MiniDV Master Tapes or 8mm Digital 8 tapes for the following reasons:

  • DVD copies can be made from the Master Tape. The reality is DVD is not full resolution but a compressed format.
  • MiniDV Tapes contain more than 2 times as much data, giving you more detail in your images
  • Any future editing will be far superior from the Master tape

Photo Conversions

Photographs fade. It's a fact of life. Save your precious memories for future generations by having FloridaHomeMovies.com convert your 35mm and 120mm slides and negatives to Jpeg, Tiff or Bitmap
