There are people who comercially convert video to DVD. I had some old super-8mm sound movies that I wanted converted. I set up the projector and videotaped the screen and sound with my video camera on a tripod. It worked OK except that you could hear the projector running. But, it sure was cheap to do.
I have converted VCR tapes to DVD ok. Now I have older super 8mm film that I would like to get onto DVD. anyone had experience in this?
