DVD Infinity have the highest quality Standard 8mm, Super 8mm, Single 8mm, 9.5mm and 16mm film to DVD, miniDV and AVCHD (Hi definition) transfers on the planet. We service customers all around the world (with customers in over 40 countries) who desire the best quality from films that date back to the 1920s. Our revolutionary proprietary processing and individual frame by frame scanning provide unparalleled detail, clarity, contrast, sharpness and brightness. Our transfers are completely flicker free, have no hot spots, streaks, motion blur, ghosting, wobble or uneven distribution. We carefully remove any blank, black, white or burnt frames as well as anywhere there is so much camera shake or the film is so badly faded that you cannot make out what is going on. Also because we scan your film rather than use a projector (or projector based system such as direct film to dvd, telecine chain or aerial telecine, etc), your film is not subject to the damaging effects of tension or hot lamps. The quality of our transfers far exceeds anything else available and is much higher than most newsreels were transferred for television.

In addition to scanning film, we offer film sales and processing for colour and black and white reversal films for Standard 8 and Super 8.

We also offer a full range of accessories for Standard 8, Super 8, 9.5mm and 16mm film.

you are right – film is neg using this method, I will add this prominently to the doc. And yes, stuffing film in the tank means undeveloped areas, something I strive for but again the notes should make this clear.
Your feedback is very helpful. Sincerely, Louise TLC

I just finished attempting this method, a few things I have noticed:

a) you really do need a lomo spiral tank, I tried as best as i could to coil the film but once I started agitating the film tangled itself up in the tank. This left many areas not even touched by the developer so I have spotty film.

b) this makes your films negative and not transparent. Pretty useless to me as I don’t have the machines to telecine neg film only have a standard projector.

c) i didn’t need the bleach method at all, which made my suspicions in the film being a neg correct.

Maybe you could advise in your article that this method which seems like the traditional way of processing film that its for neg film only???

Or maybe i did it wrong? but I followed your instructions to the tee, even using 20 mins for the developer as its expired film.

Thanks.
