It doesn't have to be silent: digitising Super 8 films with sound

Most cine films are silent films, but not all of them. We also offer digitisation with sound for your Super 8 – for a maximum film experience and even more saved memories.

How can I tell if my Super 8 film has a soundtrack?

To find out whether your film has a soundtrack, please take a closer look at the film tape. If there is a soundtrack, you will find an orange-brown magnetic tape approx. 0.5 to 0.8 millimetres wide. Occasionally there are also two sound tracks. If your Super 8 film has a soundtrack, we can also transfer it. If you do not have the confidence to check whether your Super 8 films contain a soundtrack, we will be happy to do this for you. The costs for soundtrack digitisation are of course only applied if your Super 8 films also contain a soundtrack.

FAQ for converting Super 8 to digital

Isn't it easier if I digitise my 8mm films myself?

For converting your 8mm film to digital independently, you need an original player, a video grabber and appropriate software. In 2016, Funai was the last manufacturer worldwide to discontinue the production of VHS recorders, and so-called S8 to DVD copiers are only available second-hand. Accordingly, it is costly to procure the necessary equipment. The time required corresponds to the playing time of the cassettes. Even if you do not have a large collection, digitising your Super 8 film with amateur equipment can quickly take several days of work.

MEDIAFIX converts cine film to digital starting at only £9.99 per reel and in first-class quality. The effort for you is minimal: We transfer your Super 8 movies to DVD, so you can enjoy your best memories comfortably on the TV or in MP4 format on USB stick for easy sharing with the family and for independent further editing.

Does my 8mm film have a sound track?

Most 8mm films are silent. The probability that your 8mm films have a sound track is not very high. To find out, you have to take a closer look at the tape. The sound track is noticeable by an 0.5 to 0.8 mm wide orange-brown magnetic tape. Sometimes there are even two sound tracks. If your 8mm films have a sound track, we can convert it to digital as well.

If you’re not sure if your reels have a sound track, we can do it for you. The costs for sound digitisation only apply, if your films have a sound track.

How long are my Super 8 films?

To find out how long your Super 8 film is, please take a look at the film spool of your Super 8 film. On these “film spokes” you will usually find scales on which you can read the length of your film in metres or feet.

Alternatively, you can measure the diameter of the film spool and use the illustration below to find out how long your Super 8 film could be. Please note that with this method you can only determine the maximum length of your Super 8 film. The actual length is often less, so the costs for digitisation will be lower.
