8mm Movies to DVD
Feb 27, 2016 21:06:19 #
A friend wants to convert 5 rolls of 8mm movies to DVD. She came to me and I don't have a clue. Does anyone have advice on how best to accomplish this? It is much appreciated. Thanks.

There are a lot of companies that will do that service. Google it and you may find a local place. I noticed Costco and Walmart do it.

I projected the 8mm onto a screen and used a camcorder - worked fine - for free.

She has considered doing this.

Thanks, John. I'll do that. I was curious if there was anything particularly important one must be aware of.

Use Costco. Convenient and reasonable. They give you two DVD's

Bruce, I used them and was very pleased for my movies and VCR tapes. Lots of free options like music, titles etc

Exactly how I did it several times for myself, and family. You WILL get a flicker, but to me, it kind of adds to the "old timey" feel of the projected images.
I think the companies that do this, scan the film frame by frame, so they don't get the flicker. There are probably programs that will also compensate for it, but as I said, there is something that kind of "works" with the constant lightening and darkening of the film being played.
Just my 2 cents, I'm just old and nostalgic. (I think I remember that Premiere Elements 10 even had a feature to add the flicker to video files, so I know I'm not the only one)

Thanks much!! It turns out, her son knows someone in the movie business. She's hopeful he can accommodate her conversion.
