I imagine this must have been discussed a bit, and I had done it before with DVD's but I seem to have had a brain fade (have mercy) and can't remember how to get 8mm film to an editable form. My Dad took some old family 8mm films and had them transferred to 3 one hour (approx) VHS tapes about ten years ago and just found them in a box. No one had ever watched them and they are pure family gold. Great stuff of me, my sister, and brother growing up in the 50's and 60's.
I can transfer the VHS tapes to DVDs with our household Panasonic DVDR. Then what? Rip the DVDs? Convert to QT? It would be great if I could load them into iMovie (my level of video editing capability) so I could trim and rearrange (chronologically) the dozens of short clips. Then add music, commentary, etc.
I would greatly appreciate it if you of the forum could help me with some links, tutorials or experiences on how you got this done. THANKS A TON IN ADVANCE!
