Product Description
8mm and Super8 film for the most part is silent. The original Super8 film release was a silent system only, but in 1973 a sound on film version was released. This version only made up 5 – 8% of Super8 sales and therefore was discontinued in the 1990s. The sound film had a magnetic soundtrack and came in larger cartridges than the original so as to accommodate a longer film path. This was required for smoothing the film movement before it reached the recording head. There was also a second aperture for the recording head. Sound cameras were compatible with silent cartridges, but not vice versa. Sound film was typically filmed at a speed of 18 or 24 frames per second.

At Montreal Home Movies, we are fully capable of transferring 8mm with sound to DVD. We use the same technique in converting your Super8 sound film to DVD as we do with converting 8mm to DVD. In addition though, we record the sound directly from the projector and digitize it to CD quality. Adjustments are made to improve hiss, pops and volume to the best of our abilities.

All the same additional options are available with your 8mm with sound film as with any other format we deal with. Please see our export section to learn more.
