Film and video tape don’t last forever. Blu-Ray, DVD, Video CD & Hard Drive Digital Masters will insure years of protection for priceless movie archiving when storing discs correctly. Instead of the usual “Calculated Price” of how many cents per foot the transfer would cost, We think that is a little confusing and we do things around here in a more understandable simple way. You fill up a Master Quality 1 hour Archive Grade DVD for $98. Depending what is on your reels, that means about 20 to 22 small movie reels per DVD. You can also have some nice extras added to your Film transfers if desired. The list below will help you decide how you can have your final Film Transfers Finished.
- Basic 8mm & Super 8mm Transfer Direct To DVD. Fill up a 1 Hour DVD disc (This usually means about 20 or so 50 foot reels on an hour DVD ……………………………………………..$98

The process is very simple:
- Step #1: Select the films or tapes and music you would like to have processed
- Step #2: Download the “PDF Track Sheet” and order form and insert the film reels or tapes you desire to be transfered and select any extra features you would like in your final DVD master.
- Step #3: Send your boxed film reels or Tapes and Printed “PDF Track Sheet” to Illusion Productions receiving location and your films will then be taken to our transfer lab where all the magic happens and will then be sent back to you once everything is completed.
- Call our center if you have any questions you need answered before getting a start on preserving your precious memories.
For Video tape transfers the process is just a little bit different. Since we use a special European DVD CODEC Compression system, we are able to get a much higher quality transfer on to your DVD disc then most US based companies. This means that you may be able to if desired, get more video footage with higher quality onto a DVD disc with less quality loss.
- A 1 Hour DVD Master Archive Disc will give the highest quality footage available for your transfers:
- per 1 Hour DVD disc …………………………………………………………………$98
- A 2 Hour DVD Master Archive Disc will still give great results but allow for twice the footage:
- per 2 Hour DVD disc …………………………………………………………………$149
- A 4 Hour DVD Master Archive Disc will still give good results but allow for 4 times the footage:
- per 4 Hour DVD disc …………………………………………………………………$196
- A 6 Hour DVD Master Archive Disc will still give results better then a VHS copy but allow for 6 times the footage:
- per 6 Hour DVD disc …………………………………………………………………$244
- An 8 Hour DVD Master Archive Disc will still give results very viewable but with a few artifacts yet allow for 8 times the footage:
- per 8 Hour DVD disc …………………………………………………………………$294
We can do upwards of up to 20 hours on one DVD but at that time compression the results are not exactly what you would call good. DVD can only handle so much information before something has to give, especially when creating Video DVD quality Discs.
