Ahh, nice movie converter, as you say if the cost of having it done rises much, well worth the price...

I have a Minolta slide scanner, worked well for a long time with VueScan on my Mac Pro, but last time I tried, I couldn't get it going like it used to, something on the OS or maybe Vuescan dropped it, so later I was given a single slide converter by my inlaw, and it works, but will be tedious.. At one time, I'd see a variety of slide scanners out at the local flea market, they seem to have vanished, different times I guess..

Anyway, thanks for the info I popped it into my Cart for later scrutiny, I'm guessing I put this 8mm & super8 movies in the metal film case into a storage bin in the garage, or maybe a closet somewhere.. Hiding..

I have some audio tapes of an interview I did with my aging Aunt, too, I need to digitize, pass along to the Cousins family before they are lost, I have them tucked away in the safe, but one more thing to do...

There is no end to projects...

Yes, the machine does both 8 mm and Super-8.

As for copying slides, I've done lots of that as well, nearly 4800 images. Also over 7600 negatives. Years ago I bought a Canon film scanner:

It has film holders for four mounted slide or strips of six 35mm negatives as well as those old APS cartridges. When I bought it 17 years ago, for nearly $1,000, it was top of the line, 4,000dpi and in those days I had an Apple Mac tower and I used a SCSI interface and it was very fast. Of course SCSI interfaces are long gone with things like laptops, but it also had a USB interface, but since it was only USB-1, it's much slower (I wonder if they make a SCSI to Thunderbolt interfaces).
