For the last few days I\u2019ve been converting old 8mm film to digital and I\u2019ve made some observations. The first is the \u2018video\u2019s are short, like old YouTube Videos, only 2 or 3 minutes long.

And people paid lots of money for it, film, developing, etc. And sadly I haven\u2019t found a cheap reliable way to convert film to digital. But haven\u2019t given up hope.<\/p>\n
There was no sound either. I had to edit the videos and remove the sounds made by the converting process.<\/p>\n
In the end I was able to covert 22 8mm files and a Hi8 tape to MKV and MOV. Taking about 5 gb of space of a total of 16 gb thumb drive. I also provided copies of media players and instructions for use on the thumb drive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
