It's not always silent: digitising Super 8 films with sound

Most cine films are silent films, but not all of them. We can also digitise your Super 8 with sound for full film experience and more precious memories.

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

To find out whether your film has a soundtrack, take a closer look at the film tape. If there’s a soundtrack, you’ll find an orange-brown magnetic tape approx. 0.5 to 0.8 millimetres wide. Sometimes there are two sound tracks. If your Super 8 film has a soundtrack, we can also digitise it. If you’re not sure whether your Super 8 films contain a soundtrack, we can easily check for you. Of course, we only charge for soundtrack digitisation if your Super 8 films have a soundtrack.

FAQ for converting Super 8 to digital

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

To convert your 8mm film to digital independently, you need an original player, a video grabber, and appropriate software. In 2016, Funai was the world’s last manufacturer to discontinue the production of VHS recorders, and so-called S8-to-DVD copiers are only available second-hand. All this makes it costly to acquire the necessary equipment. Meanwhile, the time required to digitise your Super 8 film corresponds to the running time of the cassettes themselves, so even a modest collection could easily take several days of work with amateur equipment.

MEDIAFIX converts cine film to digital starting at only £9.99 per reel for top-grade quality. The effort for you is minimal — we transfer your Super 8 movies to DVD, so you can enjoy your favourite memories comfortably on TV or as MP4 on a USB stick for easy sharing with the family and further editing.

Does my 8mm film have a sound track?

Most 8mm films are silent. There is a small chance that your 8mm film has a soundtrack. To find out, take a closer look at the tape. If there is a 0.5 to 0.8 mm wide orange-brown magnetic tape, that’s a soundtrack. Sometimes there are even two soundtracks. If your 8mm films have a soundtrack, we can convert that to digital as well.

If you’re not sure whether your reels have a soundtrack, let us check for you. We only charge for soundtrack digitisation if your films have a soundtrack.

How long are my Super 8 films?

To find out how long your Super 8 film is, take a look at the film spool. You should be able to read there 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 estimate the length of your Super 8 film. 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.
