"I have 8mm movies of my wedding. I'd
like to get them fixed up and burned on a DVD for my wife for
Christmas. Do any of you DV gurus know if this can be done?"
Mike,
This is right up my alley -
If the 8mm tapes were shot out of focus, you will not be able to sharpen
them up much (a program like after effects can sharpen images to a certain
extent... but it's almost better to just leave it alone).
Dubbing from 8mm tape to DVD or DV is done at most any video duplication
service in the yellow pages... for a pro's opinion on who is good for
dubbing in your town call a TV station's advertising department or a local
production house and ask. Also see if any wedding video guys do it... they
might still shoot on 8mm and burn to DVD for clients.
Don't forget to "punch some numbers" on cost. Is it less expensive to
buy a DVD burner and a 8mm deck to do it yourself? It might be worth while
pricing them at an electronics superstore.
How would I do it?:
I would borrow your 8mm camera (assuming you have one) and loop it
through my mini DV camera into my system then dump it to DVD.
Hope this helps,
Alan
