Is it possible to take old home movies that were shown on a projector and have them put onto a DVD or videotape? If so, what sort of place could do that for me and what kind of money would it cost? I’d like to do this as a birthday gift for my mom, but I don’t even know enough about it to make any phone calls asking halfway intelligent questions.
My wife recently did this with some outfit that is associated with CVS (I forget the name). This outfit charges anywhere from $11 to $20 per 50 foot reel, depending on how many reels you have + $10 for the dvd and $10 for shipping.
I’d try specialty camera stores in your area.
Thank you both for your assistance! I was able to find a place near me that will do the job for 15 cents per foot of 8mm film. Won’t be ready in time for Mom’s birthday, but I’m so stoked about this idea I think I’ll go ahead anyway. Thank you again for helping me get started.
