The following prices (in Canadian dollars) currently apply.

8mm Film to Video Telecine Transfers

The basic charge for transferring film to video is $0.25/foot or $12.50 for a 50' reel. This includes inspection and lubrication of the films, as well as minor repairs if necessary.

In addition, the following applies:

For transfer to DVD-video (directly playable in a DVD player) of less than 200' of film (less than 4 mini reels), there is a $4 charge for the DVD-r blank.
For output to digital video data file(s) on DVD, there is a $4 charge for each DVD-r blank or must be customer supplied. This charge is necessary, since digital video data files are much more storage intensive.
