| 385861 | 2005-09-03 22:52:00 | I have a number of the old 8 mm movies on reel which I want to download onto my PC and convert to DVD. I have all the necessary software for conversion and burning but dont have a 8 mm player. Can someone please suggest a player which will enable me to transfer the 8 mm to my Hard Drive? Thanks Sergio |

If you don't have a projector and a video camera, it is probably the cheapest and easiest option. Once you have them digitized you can do any editing you want and rewrite to DVD. | andy (473) | ||

Sergio, the link below is but two of the many options available in NZ. http://www.convertit.co.nz/ edvd.co.nz |

| 385865 | 2005-09-04 02:11:00 | I was wondering what to do with my Charlie Chaplin films on 8mm. Then I saw the Warehouse had them already on DVDs. (I've now got 4 DVDs, with three films on each -- only two duplicated ;)). | Graham L (2) | ||
| 385866 | 2005-09-04 04:53:00 | My reply is relevant as 8mm projectors are a dime a dozen and if he has access to a vid camera will be by far the cheapest option. | kjaada (253) | ||
