Get Started with Your Movie Film to DVD Transfers
Movie Film is Hard to Watch
Decades ago, movie film was a great way to capture special moments. But with time, that film has broken down. Viewing those special moments is inconvenient, because film projectors have become obsolete, and they're too bulky and difficult to use anyway. The reels of memories have often been thrown into boxes and stored in closets and basements, just to become forgotten and faded.

Preserve and Relive Your Memories
On a digital format, the memories are easier to view and share. More importantly, unlike the physical media, digital formats do not fade with time.


Costco offers a proprietary technology to make your movie films play better on a DVD player than they ever did on a projector.

  • Enlarged gate so that the entire frame
    of the film is used

  • Film flicker eliminated

  • The film captured directly to DVD

  • Digital editing eliminates film leader
    and unexposed footage

  • Brightened colors and reduced scratches,
    dirt and dust on the film surface

  • Extreme Restoration- The film reels we receive are often decades old and have already begun to degrade. With the exception of slight color brightening, the quality of the footage on DVD cannot be improved from the quality of your source film footage.
  • Raw Video Footage on DVD - We cannot deliver just the raw footage on DVD for you to edit using video software. Our DVDs are authored to play on a DVD player and to be enjoyed like a Hollywood movie.
  • Customized DVD Projects - Because of Costco's automated process, we can't make custom projects, such as adding captions and adding custom music.
  • Unprocessed Film
  • Copyright footage
  • Film that is not on a Reel
