8mm Film to DVD

To convert 8mm film to DVD you need the most up-to-date equipment. At Icehouse Pictures we use a system called a telecine, which is essentially a video camera and projector built together into one unit. The single most important component of the telecine is the video camera used to transfer the 8mm film to DVD. That is why we use a top-of-the-line 3 CCD camera for all 8mm film transfers.

CCD stands for Charged-Coupled-Device and is basically the eye of the camera. It's a chip that determines the brightness of the camcorders picture and the brilliance of the colors it records. The more CCDs a camera has the better the color fidelity, contrast and detail. Three-CCD cameras produce excellent color accuracy because the light coming into the camera is spilt into three separate primary colors. In a 1CCD system, all of the incoming light information is processed by the same CCD. Three-CCD cameras provide superior image quality and color reproduction compared to cameras with only one CCD.

A film to DVD transfer should look as good as the original 8mm film. That is why at Icehouse Pictures we use a 3 CCD camera that produces 700 lines of horizontal resolution, capturing all of the resolution of your original film. For outstanding picture clarity and natural color choose a company that uses a 3 CCD camera for film transfer. Choose Icehouse Pictures.
