Birth, marriage, birthdays, holidays, trips and so on. Dear memories that you want to keep, relive or pass on to family, children and grand children.
We can make these precious videos with memories for you digital so that they can easily be viewed again. For this we use the best film scanners. The images are converted to a digital file, so that they can be viewed via, for example, the television, computer, tablet or smart-phone.
We have a broad experience and extensive portfolio. Together with our team we provide a personal and professional environment where the coffee is always there for you!

When digitizing your films, you can also opt for image improvements. This corrects the images for brightness, image stabilization, colors, sharpness, noise, dirt and stains. Making the result more beautiful. See the example scans below for examples. We charge a subcharge of €0,75 per minute.
If the films to be scanned have stains caused by moulds, we can specially clean the films. With our mould cleaning machine we can remove between 85% and 100% of the stains from the films. See the example scans below for examples. We charge a subcharge of €2,25 per minute.
Yes, that is possible. You can request your free sample scan here.
Yes, you can edit the film yourself. More info: Editing video files – with free software.
We can also do the editing for you. In consultation we can change the order of films, cut out pieces, add music, etcetera.
The problem when a large video file cannot be copied is usually that the file system of the hard disk or USB stick is still in FAT32 format. Files larger than 4GB cannot be stored on a FAT32 volume. Formatting the flash drive in the exFAT or NTFS file system will solve this problem.
You can find more information about this:
It is possible to digitize your 8mm films yourself. However, the quality achieved is considerably less than if it is done professionally. For more information on how to transfer your own films, see our page about digitizing your own films.
Somebody told me that if I take soured films through a projector and play a non-soured film through the projector afterwards, the non-soured film will also sour. Is that true? Is a soured film contagious? Is there anything you can do about it, like clean the film?
That is definitely a risk. When a film is soured (acetata decay, vinegar syndrome) the substance “acetic acid” is released (smells like vinegar). This substance can affect other films. Cleaning films with vinegar syndrome does not help.
The decay of the film can be slowed down by storing the film in a cold place (preferably in the freezer). Special bags can also be placed in the film cans to slow down the acidification process: Kodak Molecular Sieve.
It is best to copy or digitize this film directly.
For more information, see the film preservation guide.

Yes, you can. We rent and sell film viewers and film projectors.
This depends on a number of factors, including the number of frames per second (18 or 24), whether it is normal8 or super8, and so on.
Below is the table for the most commonly used format (18 frames per second and super8):
| Reel diameter | Minutes |
|---|---|
| 7 centimeter | 3,5 minutes |
| 13 centimeter | 14 minutes |
| 18 centimeter | 28 minutes |
| 21 centimeter | 40 minutes |
| 25 centimeter | 53 minutes |

By default, we deliver digitized film in .H264 format. This format is the defacto standard for video. If you want to perform heavy edits such as color correction etc. yourself, we recommend Prores. Read more: http://van-eck.net/en/video-codecs/
There are several ways to edit digitized videos and films yourself.
For cutting and pasting only, I recommend LosslessCut.The advantage of this program is that the video does not need to be re-encoded and thus no quality is lost. If you want more, such as adding titles, music, transitions, etc. then you need a somewhat more comprehensive program. See here for my top five recommended free video editing programs:
If you have even more requirements, then a paid program is recommended. Some examples: Final cut pro (Apple) and Adobe Premiere / Magix Video for the PC.
By default, when you download to your c:disk. There is not always enough room there.
In the browser you use, you can set to download to another partition or drive (e.g., external hard drive).

If the films to be scanned have stains caused by moulds, we can specially clean the films. With our mould cleaning machine we can remove between 85% and 100% of the stains from the films.
Note: Mold cannot be removed from movies with film cleaner!
Mold is often found on Agfa films, but sometimes on other brands of films such as Kodak or Fuji.
