Our Hard Drive Camcorder File Transfer Services

HARD DRIVE CAMCORDERS

Don’t let your family memories become locked away on your hard drive camcorder. Many of us have treasured home videos stored on our HDD camcorder, but need a way to transfer video files from the camcorder to computer. Bring us your hard drive camcorder, and our service will find and move all of the files off your HDD camcorder to USB. Once your HDD camcorder videos are on USB, you can easily watch the videos from the drive, or download camcorder video to computer to edit and share.

Our hard drive camcorder transfer to computer services are designed to move files off your HDD camcorder efficiently. We safely connect your device to our dedicated transfer stations using the proper cables. Our trained staff will import the files and download all of your HDD camcorder videos to computer servers. We thoroughly check to ensure all files transfer completely, and then load them to a drive you provide (we also sell drives). This process ensures your files are safely stored and easy to backup, allowing you to enjoy your HDD camcorder memories and confidently clear your internal drive and SD card to make space for more recording.

Once we transfer video files from your HDD camcorder to a drive, you’ll have a world of options for easy viewing, sharing, uploading, editing, and archiving. Stop by any location to get started!

Starting at $59.95/camcorder, and as low as $29.95/camcorder with playable disc or file conversion order

A full HDD camcorder prevents you from recording new family moments, and leaves your treasured videos trapped on the device. At Memories to Digital, our goal is to free you up to enjoy your video memories and make new video memories, rather than trying to figure out how to move your data and convert the files to a watchable format. We handle the entire complex transfer, giving you modern, accessible files so you can clear your hard drive camcorder and get back to recording.

Additional Information

What’s Included When We Download HDD Camcorder Video

All HDD Camcorder data transfers include:

  • Meeting with you to discuss the details of your project. If you’ve mailed your material, we’ll call you for details.
  • Transferring your files to a new storage medium. This process includes:
    • Reading and exploring each original storage medium you provide.
    • Copying the data to your new storage medium. 
    • Creating a folder system on the new storage medium to account for and organize the data from each original source.
    • Checking the integrity of the data transfers to verify that all files copied completely. 
    • Documenting any hardware, software or file system problems that prevent a complete data transfer.
    • Advising you as to any conversion or editing options.

Your original storage media are returned to you with your finished project. All data migration is done by our professionally trained staff in our local lab.

Note: Data transfer is limited by the condition of your original media. Additional charges may apply for: cleaning, handling, troubleshooting, or repairing dirty, moldy, damaged, degraded, corrupted or otherwise untransferrable media or files ($120/hour, $19.95 minimum per media, $4.95/file). Drives sold separately.

 

Preparing for Hard Drive Camcorder File Transfer Services
  1. Find the cables and power cords for each of the HDD camcorders in your project. If you don’t have them, there is a good chance we will, but bringing the cords and cables specific to your camera will ensure a smooth transfer.
  2. Think about how many USB drives you’ll need. We recommend purchasing a second copy that can be stored separately for safekeeping. 
  3. Consider subscribing to our local, secure, offline backup storage plan.
  4. Once your memories are backed up and easily accessible, read about all of the services we provide to help you watch, edit and share your digital video and your digital photos.
  5. Get started – pick a location to drop off your media and book an appointment, or simply stop by a location that accepts walk-ins.

Testimonials

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 – 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!

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.
