Savannah, Georgia | Audio | Film | Video Transfers
In time's attic, memories slumber. At eThree Media, we awaken them.
We transform a wide variety of video, audio, and film formats into high-quality digital video (MP4) and uncompressed audio (WAV) files. Play them on any✶ device, share them forever. USB or cloud, the choice is yours.
Aging videotapes and celluloid are fragile vessels, their contents susceptible to damaging erosion. Converting them to digital is not a luxury, but an act of preservation, safeguarding your legacy for generations to come.
A Local Service
Unlike impersonal online services, we handle each tape and reel with meticulous care. Our office employs top-tier broadcast equipment like the Leitch/DPS 575 and Harris X75 for processing video signals, ensuring stabilization and precise corrections. We are broadcast professionals with many years of knowledge and experience. We even offer cleaning for tapes as needed, and expertly enhance, level, and noise-filter audio when required.
Why MP4 and WAV formats?
For video, MP4, and more specifically, H.264 stands as the most widely supported and enduring digital format, offering unparalleled accessibility and longevity. For audio, 48 KHz 24-bit WAV is uncompressed, offering nearly universal playback and lossless quality transfer from the original recorded sound.
These file types empower you to easily view/listen, share, backup, and store your priceless footage with confidence, ensuring its survival in optimal preserved quality far beyond the lifespan of its original form. Make sure to create backups promptly! But, rest assured, your files are securely stored for a guaranteed period of 30 days.
The Professional Choice
For the professional producer, eThree Media offers specialized tools that transcend mere digitization. Our Teranex equipment enables you to easily integrate vintage footage into modern productions. With it, we can de-interlace, upscale, and even convert frame rates on the fly, saving time in the editing process, and preserving quality with just a single generation pass.
We offer direct ingest to professional-grade editing formats like ProRes 422, preserving every possible nuance of your precious material efficiently. Our swift service couples with our professional format support for formats like Betacam SP, DVCPRO 25/50/100, and even 3/4" U-Matic. eThree Media's one-step process ensures single-generation playback, delivering the format and quality you require.
A Few Housekeeping Notes
We also handle PAL and SECAM VHS and Betacam SP/DigiBeta tapes formats. Please refer to the pricing chart on this page.
