Cine Transfer to DVD/Mini DV Service

Here you can see some films that have been sent to us to transfer. Thank you to all our customers who have kindly allowed us to share these with you.


I just wanted to thank you for sending my cine transfers back so quickly! It took me back 30 odd years when I watched them, mum and dad are going to be so pleased that they can watch them now without having to get out the step ladder to set up the projector, pull out the big screen and re-arrange the living room so we can all see!
It was the height of technology back then and we were the first ones in the road to have one (we had a colour TV and a new car too!) Thank you so much you have restored my faith that when we ask someone to do something, they actually do it!'

Best wishes from Michelle Hicks

'I received my films back today - I have looked at the DVD and I am absolutely delighted.
Thank you very much indeed for your spectacular service. I have many more old 8mm films and will gradually work through them with you. Many thanks again and best wishes for Christmas and the New Year.'

Mr Paul Terry

'Thanks for the excellent service - the DVD was a Christmas present to my father who had not seen his cine films for many years since his projector gave up. I had left it late, but it arrived for Christmas as promised.
Thanks again'

Mr. C.H. (Derbyshire)

'Many thanks indeed. I am so pleased with the results that I just telephoned my friend with all the good news. The transfer of all those old films is simply superb'
Raymond Rourke

'I just wanted to thank you for the DVD's we received on Wednesday. I spent a lot of time phoning other companies before speaking to Susanne on the phone. She was very helpful in answering my questions without blinding me with science!
Thanks again, I will certainly be recommending your services.

Mrs C. Pritchard (Telford)

'I have just finished editing my granddad's cine films from the digital tape you produced for me and wanted to tell you how much the family loved it. It was my grandmother's 70th birthday and the DVD was a lovely surprise for her as she had not seen the films for over thirty years! Thanks again for a great job transferring our films'.
Mr Goulding (Greetings from Kent - The garden of England!)


Copy of a referral to a potential customer
I had been been meaning to get round to converting my old super 8 cine films into a DVD and I would definately recommend that you take the plunge and contact them for a chat.

I picked them from a range of companies on the internet with no real idea of what was involved or how to judge the competence of any particular company and what they were offering.  In the end I decided to take the reels personally and I spent about an hour with John from bluprint sorting them out. He answered all my questions clearly and explained to me what would happen next.

I had chosen their 'edit manager' service as we had never labeled our films with places and dates and I wanted them to run on the DVD in a logical order. The service also included added background music and captions which was just what I wanted.

Soon afterwards the films were delivered back to me by Special Delivery with what they call a 'draft DVD' which contained all my films and it also had a timer at the bottom of the picture.

I just watched the DVD and wrote down the changes I wanted - where a film needed to be moved or edited out and leaving on the good bits.   I could also change the running order and what I wanted to have removed.  I returned all my notes with my editing instructions and the words I wanted on the captions.

Throughout the final process they were great.  John, phoned me several times to make absolutely certain of some changes I had made and than a few weeks later, back came the finished DVD with captions and music.

The pictures looked better then I expected and I even saw images in dark areas that I don't remember seeing on the original film!

My DVD mostly contained the childhood of my son and daughter and as it was a surprise gift for them, they were both thrilled with the results.
