Hello everyone, I'm new here as my next question will probably tell you

Has anyone converted their 400 digest to DVD?
Are any avilable?

Just a thought

Hi Anthony, and welcome.

I haven't heard of any collectors doing this for their own satisfaction but there are one or two known instances of 8mm digests being included as extras on DVD releases - hopefully someone can remember a title. I also think I've seen someone offering a DVD on eBay featuring various Universal horror digests, but I haven't checked whether they are 200' and/or 400' versions.

I actually have a couple of my 8mm silents home transferred to DVD so I could watch them on my laptop when I'm travelling on business.

Once I'm home It's projection or nothing!

Hi Anthony, welcome to the forum.

I have transfered many digests to my computer but only for retracking purposes, as a template to re-edit the original film and recreate proper soundtracks. But I haven't kept them (just the final edit work with the digital track).

Hi Anthony. There is an E-Bay seller in the U.S who's trading name is "jdhs 115" who sells "Ken" and "Castle" 200ft digests on DVD. There are usually about 11 titles per disc.

I have never purchased any of these and therefore cannot comment on the quality - perhaps one of our American colleagues may be able to help on that point.

Try a seach on E-Bay U.S. under "Find 8mm in Film".

The European DVD release of DIE SCHLANGENGRUBE UND DAS PENDEL contains two 8mm digests as extras.

Great movie, and the digest were very interesting from an editing standpoint.

About 6 years ago I bought off Ebay a VHS tape of several Castle digests. It was actually done very nicely using 16mm prints. There is a web site (you'll have to Google it) that sells DVDs of the Castle digests. If I find it, I'll post a link here.
