Thank you for the neat information. I am sure we all have old film that would be great to have changed into VCR or DVD. This is great because our beloved pieces of history will never leave our hands. I am sure if anyone does not have a camera that you could rent one for a short period of time or have a friend help you with their camera. Thanks again for the info. Jan Thought I might share a tip - I had both 8mm and Super 8mm film which I transferred successfully to VCR tapes (now could do same think to DVD). I did have both projectors in working order. I placed the screen in a dark room and rolled the film. I set my video camera on a tripod pre-set to fit the screen image. It worked wonderfully. Tip - prearrange your films to the correct time period before you begin. You can either play background music or talk you way through the silent films. I did the same thing with photos but in this case I did talk about each person I was projecting as a way to let future generations who the history and stories of interest. In this case I started with oldest photo in the family, ending with the youngest. Hope this may help. longlakegranny
