Transferring
Film? (in
simple terms)
The film is
transferred into digital format and onto our video
editing computer. This allows us to join the footage
and remove any distorted or black segments. Then we
run copies to a MiniDV Master (for your storage) and
to the number of VHS copies you've requested.
