I have got about 15 old cine films from my childhood. I brought them all back from Mums. I am sure that these can be put on DVD does anybody know what the cost ...the clarity... who would do it. ...and am I right it can be done.

It would be amazing for me if I could put these films on to something I could see as they are from my ages young up to 9 Once we bought the cine camera we no longer took photos.

is not the same to day mind, we capture photos on our new toy and forget to record them

There are specialist companies that will do it at a price but for a cheap alternative, project the film onto a screen (or plain white wall) and use a digital camcorder to record it. You will need to use a tripod to avoid camera shake but the result will be pretty good and you can then transfer it to com[puter, DVD etc

My cousins had this done by a professional company and they copied across film from pre 1950 very successfully. Sorry I don't know the cost

My MiL was very touched by the film of her wedding

It can certainly be done as we had some transferred years ago although I can't remember how much we paid.

I found this on a Google search. It's the first site I looked at so may not be typical but it does give some prices:-

Errol sadly Mum didn´t keep the rest, I am just thankful that she held on to so many films,
Thank you all for your replies I know I want to see what is on the films but I also want still photos
