Film to DVD

Film to DVD is a great way to preserve your home movies for future generations to enjoy. Most people don't realize the importance of having their films put onto DVD. The longer they wait the less chance they have of saving their film.

It's a known fact that film chemically deteriorates over time. Poor storage conditions allow heat and humidity to create a chemical reaction within the film. The chemical reaction produces an acetic acid, a corrosive chemical compound that has a pungent vinegar smell. The acid eats away at the film and causes the emulsion to separate from the film base. This deterioration process is known as "Vinegar Syndrome." The acid reaction causes the film to curl, become brittle and stick together making the film completely unusable. Once Vinegar syndrome starts it cannot be stopped and the film literally decomposes. Film with a chemical smell should be transferred to DVD immediately.
