I recently got a bunch of movies from my folks that were shot during the 50's and early 60's. It all appears to be in very good shape. To help keep it that way I was looking at putting them onto DVD. Besides the normal family stuff they also contain several hours of footage my Dad took flying B29 missions over Korea and other planes he piloted. Given the sentimental value of all of it and historical value of some of it I do not want to send it out to be transfered to DVD. Has anybody here done something like this or have some good pointers to where I could find equipment, etc? Thanks, Keith | ||

Take it to a good camera shop -- not a chain place. They'll do it. Call around. For instance, Flagg's in Pasadena does that kind of thing. This is, like, 8 millimeter? | ||

Yes, its 8mm. I also have the original camera and the projector which is variable speed. Keith | ||

I have some stuff that was converted and it looks fine. I suppose it you want to get low-tech, you can just put the film in the projector, then film the film (as it were) using a digital camera of some sort -- but taking it to a place you trust would probably end up looking better. | ||

I found an article at PCWorld that might be helpful. | ||
