As I am new to this forum, please bare with me. I have substantial footage of 8mm (no sound) shot in 1960s thru 1980s with a Sears EasiLoad C116 (in excellent condition if anyone is interested). The older film is now appearing pretty dark. So, upon investigation into transfer methods and companies, holy cow! Everyone has a claim to fame and their own opinion. Some do double wet cleaning, others site Cintel scanners, some say 720p is adequate and 1080 is a waste of money. As it appears this forum has some brilliant minds with experience, I seek your guidance. Of course I wish to convert to good quality, but do not have a deep pocket to draw from. So, I have a few questions to begin with. What is your opinion about Bruce Mayfield's site "Film-to-DVD.com" and his opinion that archival media is only MiniDV tapes, rather than short-lived storage media such as DVDs and HDs??? DigMyPics.com sounds interesting and inexpensive - any opinions here? Next question, is motion-picture scanning preferred over "frame-by-frame"? Or are they the same? In a nutshell, I am seeking a reputable company to provide good results for a relatively reasonable investment. I do also look forward to editable formats. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ANYONE CONTRIBUTING TO MY QUERIES!!! Tony
