Video/Cine advice

stevemcol

A thread I got involved with a week ago has motivated me to look at converting some 8mm & super 8 cine onto DVD.

It’s expensive to get done professionally and I don’t really need professional results. so I’ve bought a multi format projector and optical converter box. I’ve also borrowed a video camera.

I’ve little or no experience with cine or video but I’m assuming I can stream the video camera into my pc via USB and convert to VOB for DVD.

The video camera I’ve borrowed is NTSC (from a mate just back from the US) but it has USB out so I’m hoping that won’t matter.

I’m a blank canvas and haven’t done too much research yet (other than splashing out 50quid on ebay). Any tips would be gratefully received.

Please excuse just one bounce. I know more of you read this forum in the evening.

Well I didn't get much help. I guess most people on here are under 50 (as am I).
I seem to have got some results though and had a great time playing with and old projector.

Anyone suggest the best way to convert AVI to DVD format?

I started on this pile of cine tonight. Lots of family stuff etc.
However, imagine my surprise when I uncovered a 1960's 'artistic' production called 'The pleasure Maid' ....lol
