aceman117 722 Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 (edited) I went up in the attic at my mom's place 2 weeks ago and gathered a ton of equipment. Found three 8 mm bell & howe projectors which all work, slide projectors, three different camcorders from different eras, at least a hundred VHS tapes with movies on starting from 1980. Also, ton of audio gear from the 70s and 80s. Found my mother's wedding on 8mm film from 1955. I purchased a Magnavox VHS to DVD converter and have burned about 25 DVD' so far. I'm also looking at the wolverine 8 mm machine that will convert 8 mm tape to a flash drive. I heard that machine is very slow. Are there any other machines that will convert 8 mm film to DVD like the machine I have for VHS?? I have not found anything yet. My mother will be tickled pink when she sees all these videos especially her wedding. Edited June 3, 2020 by aceman117 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maytag 793 Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 We did all of ours at Costco. Not that much money and they came out great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Packratt 369 Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 There is a company in Richmond va that is/was supposed to be very good at doing. this. They used to be on one of my routes but I'm drawing a blank on the name. If you'd like I'll try to dig them up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
