I have recently been working with my brother-in-law Brian on two different projects. The transferring of my parents' old family movies (dating from 1960s - 2000) from VHS to DVD and the transferring of my old 8mm tapes to DVD. My parents' movies were transferred from film reels to VHS several years ago and now we are currently in the process of transferring the VHS tapes to DVD. There are close to 20 tapes that need to be transferred and we are about halfway through. But all the 8mm tapes of my own children have been transferred and it truly is a wonderful thing! It is something that I have wanted to do for a long time and I am so happy that my family movies are finally preserved to DVD. I now find that we watch the movies more often and with the DVD organized into chapters - it is easy to watch just one specific event. I am thrilled with the results. So I asked Brian if he would be willing to offer this service to friends and family that might be interested.
So if you have ever thought about transferring your old 8mm tapes or VHS to DVD - and keep putting it off - now is your chance!!
Here is what he has to offer:
1. $50.00 - each two hour tape transferred to 1 DVD. This would include include 5 chapters (additional chapters would cost $1.00 per chapter), jewel case and only written title and menu on DVD.
2. $15.00 extra if you want a case with a cover including the title, menu and a photo (you would need to provide a photo).
3. $5.00 - additional copies
4. Discounts given if transferring several tapes.
5. Brian can transfer the following formats: 8mm, digital 8mm, mini Dv and VHS. Any other formats - he would need to use your camera.
6. If you want chapters - you would need to provide him with a clearly written or typed copy of the events on the tape - with names, dates, etc.
I know there are many businesses and individuals offering these same types of services - and if you look around - these are very competitive prices.
You can email me with questions or leave info in the comments and I will put you in touch with Brian.
Thanks!
