I have home movie film from the 40's, 50's and up. what do you recommend for transferring these to DVD's? Thanks for your help. Nancy There are companies that specalize in transferring film to video, and that would probably be your best choice. There is equipment available for do it yourselfers, but the good stuff is pretty expensive. It involves running the film, with a mounted video pickup head instead of projecting to a screen. It does something to make the timing right , since a movie has a certain number of frames per second, and the standard video rate is different. Do an online search for film to video transfer.
