Hello everyone.

I'm looking for advice on the best ways to convert my old 8mm film reels into digital format.

I have a collection of family memories dating back to the 70s and 80s that I want to preserve.

Are there any reliable services out there, or should I invest in a DIY setup?

If anyone has experience with both options, I'd love to hear your thoughts on the quality and cost involved.

Additionally, what are the best file formats and resolutions to choose for long-term storage?

Any recommendations or tips would be greatly appreciated!

I recommend to let them digitize by a specialised company. I have a 13 minutes 16mm film which has been digitalised to mpeg . 450MB on DVD.
