I had a couple of hundred rolls of 16mm and 8mm movie film converted to DVD at a local video processor store. These old family films go back to mid-1950s. I did a test sample through YesVideo at Costco and this local guy. The local guy sets up color corrections and really made the film come to life. The cost was nearly the same...about $0.14 per foot. In volume the price is reduced 10-15%. He made me some free samples to compare before I committed.

Got to see my childhood again. Turns out I still have that racecar toy that was my first gift when I was 1 year old - I have footage of me opening it.

I have since edited all the movies into chronological order and split off relevant sections for other family members (cousins and the like).

My 85 year old Dad was just at a nursing facility due to strokes and we were able to pop these disks in and watch some 9 hours over several days - priceless!
