Converting cinefilms

I have some old cinefilm tapes that I'd love to convert into dvd format, can anyone recommend a place that can do this to a high standard?

I tried to do this through Kodak a few years ago, thinking they were reputable, but the quality was awful and they didn't record the audio!!

I have had several done with a company called Alive Studios.
I was very pleased with them but they aren't cheap. They have a sale on right now which is a real sale that they do maybe twice a year. I've got more films to convert so I'm always looking at their website umming and arring over the price.

@EscapeTheCastle they do look good as they ai remaster the tapes and I don't think the ones I've looked at do. Only thing is that they transfer to USB stick only....I would've liked to watch the films on the telly.

Yes, they don't do dvds anymore. It's considered an out of date format. They give you a digital format that can be watched on your tv very easily.

Are you converting cini films or video tapes?

I ask because you say Cini film and then tape. It's always best to use the original format to convert.
