Glen, there is a local company here that did those old 8mm to digital that wasn't very expensive. Our closest town is 50k people, I am surprised OKC doesn't have someone.

Last time I searched for someone the market had collapsed. Most people that had home movies had already had them converted, and all that was left was people projecting them on a wall and using a video camera to record it. Just crappy quality.
The unit on Amazon is not cheap, but I bet once I convert all of my movies, I can sell it for about half. I might even find one used on EBay.
I would like to capture them all, and then do a lot of editing. No one but my brother and I really care about them. My nephew might want to see a few of the highlights, but I doubt I could restrain him to sit through all of them.
It would be nice to capture the images to digital, and store them on my RAID, and on YouTube. Then do the hard part, trash the original movies.
