Texas Archive of the Moving Image

Home Movie Transfers
TAMI can transfer your family's home movies or videos to DVD and digital files. TAMI technicians will inspect, clean and prepare your videos or films (8mm, super 8mm and 16mm) for digitization. Should TAMI be unable to assist you with your material, we can provide referrals upon request. Please contact us for rate information. Qualifying films are eligible for free digitization through TAMI's Texas Film Round-Up program.
