8mm to DVD recommendations ?

[RonT]

I've got 3 reels of old 8mm film that I'm thinking about having converted to DVD. Anyone here have any experience with the process? Can anyone recommend a company to do the conversion? Preferably someone you've had first hand experience dealing with? Any and all helpful comments/thoughts on the subject appreciated.

Thanks

Years ago, a fellow forum member (thanks again tenders!) recommended these guys to me. They did a great job:

I had one hundred or so 8mm reels to convert.

I hate to say it, but I set up a projector and screen and tripod and video taped the entire thing. Then I imported the video into iMovie and then produced the DVD. It actually looks pretty good. My family has been forever grateful. I know... a hack job, but it was "free," except for my time.

My local Costco can do it. FWIW.

I'm brand new to Costco do they actually have a film developing service?

That's generally how it's done, believe it or not... project onto a smooth white board at close distance in a nice dark room, set up a video camera right next to the projector and record it, either to tape (then import into a computer), or directly into a computer, for editing & burning.
