    hi,

    i'm wondering how i can get 8mm video reel put onto DVD or even to PC hard-drive.

    we have a lot of it here in our village that we need to get safely put onto either DVD or our computers where we can keep it safe for the future, in case we can get money to put a historical project together.

    can anyone advise a way i can get this done, at a very reasonable cost i might add?

    regards,

    ed

    Give Rodolphe a ring, number is on the front page of his website http://www.bestdayproductions.com/
    He should give you a contact to get it done properly and at a good rate. He shoots some weddings in 8mm

    If you have an 8mm playback device in working order, you can get a USB video capture device and record straight to the hard drive of a computer and then burn to DVD.

    I use a regular DVD recorder, and then copy the video off the DVD discs to my PC for any trimming or editing. DVD RW+ discs seem to work better than RW-.

    When you say 8mm video reel, do you mean magnetic video tape, which came in cassettes, or 8mm film reel from an old type film camera?
    The first one is easy to work with, camera with firewire connex should do the trick, the second one is a pain to work with and requires heaps of equipment.
