About our Movie Film Scanning Service
We are using the latest offering from Lasergraphics, the Lasergraphics “Archivist” which has been specifically designed to be working with older fragile and compromised film. This is a true high end professional modern movie film scanner. The standard by which all other scanners are compared.
Scanning Options (US Dollar)
*Native frame rate is the rate that the scanner serves frames to either the internal CODEC, for recording during the digitization process.
Unlike virtually all other companies offering this service, we return film on original reels and in the original box or can when all are still in mold-free condition.
Film Rescue cannot convert content that infringes the copyright of third parties.
Minimum Charge
There is a 30.00 minimum charge per order, excluding return s&h.
Guarantee
If you are not happy with your transfer we will undertake steps to correct any problem. If that can’t be done to your satisfaction, we will pay up to the amount we charged to have your film transferred, with comparable service options, by a provider of your choice.
Security
Please check your transfer files in a timely manner to ensure everything is complete and playing properly on whatever system you are using. Due to the volume of work we do and the size of scan files, we cannot store files indefinitely. We allow a reasonable amount of time to be confident orders are received by customers. The drives we store backups on are cleared after 9 months.
