I, like Sherry, had no (as in zero) problems with the media. A check of media files using Options>Customize>locations indicated all media files were found. Browsing through the data afterwards has revealed that all appear to be in place in V8. I used the "copy file and convert" method to import the V7 data.

I had absolutely no problems with pictures when I converted my file from the v7.5 format to v8. They were all there as before. The Media Relinker is a great tool for relinking pictures if necessary, but I didn't need to use it.
