This is not technically “equipment” related, but it has to do with photography so I figured this was the most relevant place to put it.
I have been chasing since 1996, so I have old video in some pretty obsolete formats including VHS-C and Sony Hi-8 / Digital Hi-8. Have any of you gone through the process of converting to digital, and if so how? I was thinking of using the Legacy Box mail service (www.legacybox.com), does anyone have experience with them? Are there any similar services you recommend more highly? It scares me to risk putting all those treasured memories in the mail... Is a local camera pro shop a viable alternative? It’s scary to entrust anyone with these precious memories, but I certainly don’t have the time or equipment to do it myself, so it’s unavoidable to use some outside help, but if I can avoid mailing it takes at least that one risk out of the equation... Also, did you move everything to DVD or just to digital computer files? Thanks for your thoughts!
