Now you can hook the Video cam up to the PC both Audio & video then make a copy on your hard drive. Then take the video cam on a tripod & make a new movie using jacks not a Mic to take the sound to the video cams format through dolby filtered sound. You start with playing the 8mm on a screen close in like the picture would be 8.5 x 11 in size. We must have 2 pieces of hardware to start first an 8mm projector with sound output & a Sony Video Cam that works with the small tapes. We found there was none like Photoshop the one we use to repair old or damaged pictures with. We started by looking for a software program. There are fewer people who do 8mm to DVD than any of the other Video formats. My thought is to "do it myself" but does anybody have any recommendations, product suggestions, or experience in this that can tell me what I need to do to undertake a project like this? I think it will be a fun winter time project and the result could help to preserve some of my families history for the next generation.Īt this point we are getting the schooling, & gathering all the hardware to offer 8mm to DVD as well as the Pictures, Slides, & negatives we already do offer. I also have a very old 8MM projector that actually works - but I don't trust it all that much nor do I know exactly how to use it. I have a great home computer, a Super 8 Digital Video Camera (Sony), and some decent video editing software. I know I would get back several DVD's with footage that is in NO chronological order since it has no meaning to a third party - it's also EXTREMELY expensive to have it done professionally. The problem is that I don't want to pay a company to do it when I don't even know what's on many of the films. I would love to get these movies transferred to DVD and VHS. Some of which date back to the 1940's and '50's. Like many people out there, I have collected my parents old 8MM films. ![]()
