I'd like to transfer my parents' 8mm reel film to digital format. I'd like decent quality, but cost is a major factor since I have a few hours of footage.
It might be worthwhile to rent or group purchase a WorkPrinter XP or (Cinemate?) other reel to DVD transfer/conversion machine.
I'd like advice on options:
- recommendations on which machine
- any links to rentals of these machines
- would anyone be interested in "sharing" the machine? (Purchase together, share for a month or two on each end, then either continue this sharing or sell used to recoup money)
- maybe a few newbies out there like me cannot afford to buy a machine, but would spend a few hundred dollars for use.
It would probably be worthwhile to do this myself, but purchasing a Workprinter XP for use for only a few weeks is something I cannot afford. If we could get a few people interested in pooling funds, then it could be worthwhile for everyone.
