I have several camcorder casettes and those little super 8mm ones too that have our holidays on. Now, I do not have the cameras anymore as these are years old.
Does anyone know any service on the internet that you send them your casettes and they put the contentds onto dvd??
cheers.

All the big powers they've silenced me. So much for free speech and choice on this fundamental human right, and outing the liars.

If you do find one, do not send all your tapes off at once. Murphy's Law says that when you do this, it will be the occasion that the Royal Mail loses your package. Small batches or one at a time.
Have you googled for this service in your area, consulted yell.com or your printed yellow pages? That's where I'd try.
Call me cynical, but if you have a DVD recorder already, I'd recommoned buying a standalone deck or decks for the tapes, transfer them yourself, then sell the tape machines.0 -

i dont have anything to run the tapes on even if i did i would then have to buy something to connect the camera to pc so it all adds up. also to be honest i do not know where to search as what do i put into google?All the big powers they've silenced me.

We have a local camera shop that offers this service, I think it charges about £10 per cassetteIt's easier to get forgiveness than to ask permission

You could probably buy an old camcorder that plays these tapes for a tenner or so. Just looked on ebay -
