Later I am also going to convert some old 8mm's from my childhood. It will be nice to have them on DVD's before they lose their quality.
Hello M1! Back in May I stumbled across our families 8mm home movies, which covered the years from around 1960-1965. I was afraid that they might have been ruined since it had been at least 30 years since we last watched them and they were put in a plastic container and (nearly) forgotten...Much to my surprise that was not the case, and I was able to have all of them put onto one DVD! They were ready to pick up in June so I gathered what's left of the family together and we sat down to view our yesterdays. IT WAS WONDERFUL! So great to see my 
Dad looking young and healthy again, and everyone seemed so happy! It was a bit weird seeing myself as an 8 year old again...playing with (what else!) my Mattel Thompson submachinegun! 
I could go on and on but since it would mean nothing to most of you I will refrain from doing so, and just say BRAVO! to you Marion...you'll never regret having your memories preserved on DVD. Just be sure to bring a box of cleanex tissue!
