[quote volcs0]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.
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.
