Scott,

Contact Pro8mm (yes they do 16mm). They are offering high definition
reformatting.

I haven't used them but it appears they have purchased High Def equipment! 
Let us know what you find out.

Paul

Greetings all,

I'm currently working with a collection of 16mm documentary films 
that require reformatting.  I've used Colorlab in the past for film 
preservation projects (production of new film as well as film 
digitization) and been very satisfied with their work.

Are there other vendors you've worked with that you'd recommend for 
reformatting/digitizing motion picture film?  If so, I'd appreciate a 
reference -- offline is fine.

Many thanks,
Scott
