It’s Wise to Digitize Locally

Meet Memories to Digital

Our Mission

 To help local families eliminate the worry of losing their family memories

We founded Memories to Digital in 2003 after our family mailed our home movies away to be digitized and they got lost. We wanted our community to have a local place to convert family memories, one that offered an alternative to faceless mail-away services.

Today, whether you visit a Memories to Digital location, a Memorywise location, or one of our local partner businesses to drop off or pick up, you receive the same great service from the same dedicated local team. We are your media digitization experts.

We do 100% of our work ourselves, in-house, locally. We give you and your memories the personal service, care and attention deserved, and we use the latest technology to provide you with high-quality digital memories.

Eric Scherer

Co-Founder

In the spring of 2003, Eric’s parents and in-laws asked, “Where in the world would we go to preserve our slides and Super 8 film?” Discovering there were no great options for them, Eric drew on his engineering and computing background to found Memories to Digital (now MemoryWise)–-a place where people could confidently bring their old analog media for preservation to DVD or other digital formats. From the beginning, Eric worked closely with his clients to make sure they felt comfortable with the process and were getting exactly what they envisioned. Today, MemoryWise is one of the most experienced digitization companies in the country and also offers special event videos, slideshows, sports recruiting presentations and more. Every job is still custom-made for each client, and our motto remains: “We treat your memories as if they’re our own.”

Gwen Scherer – food marketer gone techie – joined Eric in bringing Memories to Digital (now MemoryWise) to retail locations in 2005 and fell in love with the business of helping people rediscover their memories – now in a digital format. “My Dad always said the photograph was one of the most important inventions of his lifetime. The memories we preserve from old photographs, slides, videos, film and audio recordings are a source of important historical, social and personal documentation. It’s very rewarding to bring them to life again, and play a role in passing them on to the next generation.”

My very first job in the 1980’s back home in Chicago, IL was in audio and video distribution; LP’s, cassettes, VHS, and Betamax. So my career has come full circle at MemoryWise.

I’ve also had experience with artifacts when in 2011 I co-managed a crew that moved the Colorado Historical Society into the History Colorado Museum in downtown Denver. Imagine moving to a new house then magnify that into a whole museum. I am proud to say that we didn’t drop a single piece of 1000 years old Mesa Verde pottery when we were unpacking.

It has been quite amazing to vicariously travel the world through clients videos, film, photos, and slides. I’ve climbed mountains that I’ll never do in real life, seen tropical fish photos in coral reefs, recognized Xmas presents I got when I was a kid.

It’s fun to help clients preserve their priceless memories.

Thank you – the film transfers look terrific! It cost a little more than I had imagined, but it was well worth it. You did a great job and be sure that I will recommend your work anytime. I already did my first DVD with some of the clips and it just looks great!

Emilio Suarez

Just wanted to thank you again for the great job you did on my family’s movies. They were a big hit, especially the first DVD – The Early Years. Mom and Dad both teared up as they told their children and grandchildren about our family’s history.

Oke Johnson

Thank you so much for all your hard work, good ideas, and understanding. This process (of creating something) has been very healing for me and it has helped me channel my grief into something productive. A million thanks! We’ll refer you to all our friends and sing your praises for all you’ve done for us.

Jennifer Sardinia

I wanted to drop you a note to thank you for the great job you did with our family movies. I was just in NJ and we were able to view a lot of the movies together as a family. We all enjoyed seeing our loved ones come alive again. Thanks for doing such a great job of bringing that back to us!

Here are the reasons to consider capturing your film in 2K or HD instead of SD:

  • Film predates pixels and lines of resolution. The image on film is generated when one or more layers of a random pattern of silver halide crystals react to light, and are retained or washed away and replaced by dyes in the developing process.The image detail generated by this process can appear anywhere on the surface of the film.
  • The more lines of resolution we scan with, the more of this random placement of image detail is captured and converted to pixels. Standard definition (SD) captures 720x480 pixels of detail, high-definition (HD) captures 1920x1080 pixels of detail, and 2K captures 2560x1440 pixels of detail.
  • Sometimes, scanning with more lines captures more of the “grain” of the film, or the crystals that remain on the surface of the film. The grain is more obvious in film that was produced with larger crystals (R8), and less obvious in film that was produced with smaller crystals (S8, 16mm). For some R8 film, scanning in SD softens the detail of the grain making it less disruptive to the image.
  • These days, with HD, 2K and 4K viewing environments - and larger and larger screens - more, smaller pixels is always better because the smaller pixels provide more detail and a smoother image as the image is enlarged to a big-screen.

SD can never reproduce the full image detail on a film frame because SD video has a fixed pixel pattern with a density of 720x480 pixels, and the pixels that make up the image are always in the same place from one video frame to the next. But film has a random grain pattern, and the image created by the grains of crystals is in a totally different place from one film frame to the next. These random grains each carry a bit of the detail that make up the complete picture and, at running speed, the random grains overlap each other on the retina of your eye to significantly increase the amount of apparent detail. This is called “accumulative resolution”. If you transfer your 8mm home movies to SD video, even with the very best SD camera, your detail will be limited by the coarse, fixed pixel pattern inherent in SD video. Of course, HD and 2K have a fixed pixel pattern, too, but the number of pixels are so great and the pattern is so insignificant, that HD and 2K are like a fine silk stocking compared to the burlap weave of SD. 

Our high definition (HD) film capture offers resolution gains of 667% over a standard definition (SD) capture (more than 6 times better). Our HD capture is not a mere up-conversion from an SD source. Our HD film capture equipment uses a high definition image sensor to take in 5 times the square pixels per frame of film that our SD machine is not capable of picking up. For 8mm films the HD image sensor generates greater than 4000 pixels per inch. Thus, the accumulative resolution effect found in film can be more readily seen in an HD transfer than in an SD transfer.
