Once digitized, it's easy to convert from the DVD that the company

Slides and photos are more easily done by amateurs/hobbyists with good

Do a Google search for '8mm film DVD' and you will get tons of
information. Some sites will be selling services, others offering
do-it-yourself advice.
Many current scanners do a fair job with slides. Depending on your
definition of 'tons of $$$' they may be an option.

I've done two things:
1. Some photo shops advertize here (Belgium) to record the super-8 film (I

can capture these from a VCR. It is not really cheap: around 200€ for about
1.5 to 2 hours of film. The quality is so-so, not too bad, but noticeably
less than what you get nowadays from any consumer digital camera.
2. A guy from a local video club claims he can get a better result by
projecting the film on a very matt but fine surface and filming it back
with his semi-pro camera. Capturing from a digital camera is easy, but you
need then to put the resulting AVI file through a "deflicker" filter
program. I haven't seen any result yet, so I cannot comment if this would
be noticeably better than the VHF route.

<[email protected]> declaimed the following in
soc.genealogy.computing:
Well, rather than processing into negatives -> photo (prints), you
could just use a decent slide scanner (2400-4800 DPI is needed to get a
reasonable scan -- 35mm images are 1x1.5 inch, a 2400DPI scan gives you
enough data for 10x15" print at 240PPI; 300PPI is NatGeo quality).
If you have an SLR, you can obtain a slide duplicator attachment
(basically a 1:1 Macro with nearly fixed focus -- it only has to focus
on a slide that fits into a slot) and has a frosted white window for the
illumination light; you want a good balanced light source. Don't use
fluorescent, a cable mounted electronic flash aimed at the window might
be best. That does add the cost of film processing, but you might be
able to skip the prints and have the lab send the film out for Kodak
PhotoCD (not "PictureCD" -- the latter was a lower quality JPEG
compilation, as I recall. PhotoCD fits 5 sizes of each image, up to 100,
on a data CD). You may have to dig some to find a plug-in to open the
images (Photoshop, at least mine, has always handled them).
If you have a Digital SLR, you MIGHT (I haven't checked) find a
slide duplicator that runs at a reduction factor to fit the smaller
sensor of digitals (if you can afford an $8000 Canon Pro digital, with
full-size sensor, converting old slides should not be a cost limitation
<G>). This method gets you directly to JPEG (or camera RAW) in one step.
With difficulty... Super-8 typically ran 18fps, theater "talkies"
run 24fps. PAL TV is 25/50 interlaced, and NTSC is 30/60 interlaced
(29.97 actually).
Basically, you need equipment that moves the film one frame at a
time, scans it, builds a still image, then takes the stack of still
images and creates something like an AVI file -- possibly creating
interpolated frames to get to the desired frame rate (the cheap way is
to just duplicate a frame -- 18->30 would require duplicating two out of
every three frames). This is not a fast process -- ignoring the film
scan phase, my 3.4GHz/2GB RAM machine takes about 1 hour to render a
40minute AVI (about 9GB) when it has to generate title fades at the
start and end. It takes another hour to transcode that AVI down to DVD
MPEG (3.8-4GB), and 15 minutes to burn it.
There are companies that specialize in doing such transfers.

I wasn't pleased with the results I got using the slide scanners
available to me...the film brand and the age of the slide seemed to
affect the color quality in the scan; it meant I had to tinker with
ALL the settings several times to get a good scan.

The "easy" way is to scan raw images (no color correction, or only
minimal) and make the needed changes afterwards, in Photoshop or
whatever image editing program you have.

Either way, I wasn't "up" to tinkering with each of 1500 slides.
well you chose the significant ones
and keep the rest as raw scans
I took 100 digital photographs yesterday and saved them onto this machine
19 made it onto the web http://slim2005.blogspot.com/
if any need fixing I use IrfanView to review them and adjust the
colour (gamma corrction)
my cousin in australia took 400 in two hours and sent 5 in an email to
his private list
