Misty, This place I mentioned in San Antonio that does the DVD's also does
8mm. I had some old video from the 50's and 60's put on VHS years ago with
this company and that is what I was planning to now have them put on DVD.
The address to Matson Multi Media is noted in an earlier post. If you don't
see it, I can look it up again. !!

I also do not have anywhere that makes vhs to dvd transfers and would like
the address also.I also have some real vintage 8mm FILM and super 8 FILM
movies, anyone know how these can be transferred to DVD? I heard historian
Ken Burns did his series on film so thay could go to DVD and retain the
clarity of the old copied photo scenes.My photographer daughter says vhs has
a limited shelf life due to degradation so get your wedding, anniversary and
birth videos made archival soon.

You can transfer VHS to DVD yourself if you have a computer with a
firewire connection, the DVD software, and DVD recorder. A system like
that is about $2000.

Yes, but the most technically expensive part of the process is getting the
images off of the film. This requires expensive equipment--one can't do a
very satisfactory simply by videotaping the film as it is projected onto a
screen. But going from videotape to CD or DVD is now feasible for DIY.
And, as Steve Lederman offered here 3 days ago:

From: Steven Lederman
Subject: video transfer to DVD
Hello, All;
If you'd rather have a List Member convert your videos to DVD for you,
feel free to contact me! Apart from sculpting and throwing, I work in
a video & film post-production facility, and I have my own professional
set-up for converting videotapes to DVD. I can also get your film
converted for you, but another company has to transfer the film to tape
first, so their cost (at cost) will be on top of my cost (for film
only).
My price depends on the amount of material you want converted, but even
at 2 hours worth I can do better than $35 for other List Members!
I also must warn you that some places convert your tapes to DVD-RAM,
which is not really an across-the-board standard. It might play fine
in some DVD players, and not in others. I convert to "real" DVD, on
high quality Pioneer or Fuji DVD-R media, and not to DVD-RAM.
E-mail off list for further information!
Best Regards,
Steven

Misty, you will first have to get the film converted to video tape at a
video production company. You should specify that you want a digital
format so the image won't have to go through another generation to be
transferred to DVD.
Once the image is digitized, it will last "forever," because digital
data does not degrade over time. However, the DVD disk that holds it
will degrade. Before the DVDs disintegrate, you can transfer the data to
whatever format is prevalent at that future time, which, I've read,
would be about 20 years.
Thanks for writing.
Sincerely,
Arnold Howard

Thanks, yes I conntacted Steve for a quote on my job but was just wanting to
get it straight whether I had to go thru 2 proscesses as the FILM[as opposed
to video] is family stuff in my case that would be impossible to replace and
trusting them to the mails to 2 places scares me a bit{MURPHRY'S LAW RULES
MY LIFE,LOL}.
I guess I will have to get it digitized to proceed.
Thanks for all the help everyone answering,
Misty

Your daugter is correct, but DVD's also suffer from a limited shelf life =
and should not be considered "Archival"...
In fact there are lots of DVD's that are already deteriorating and =
unplayable
here's a good artical that explains what I'm talking about.

Also, this is they same with CDs and CD-r/w so be ready to recopy or =
re-purcase all your music that you want to keep in say 10-20 years. or =
mybe 50-200 years if the manufactures are correct...
It's a big debate. If' your interested heres another url to check out
http://www.washington.edu/cartah/resources/other/cdlife.html
just something i've been looking into myself, perhaps vinyl and analog =
tape are better(at least they last longer)

for archival digital data, trasfer the digital data to clay tablets using
regular spacing use a raised dot for a binary one, a space for binary zero,
alternativly you can use George's ink jet printer to put dots of cobalt
down. you might want to put your compression technique on the first tablet.

Jim
