Anyone converted movies/tapes/pics to digital?

[edbermac]

Have a bunch of cassettes and pics. Heard of a service called imemories, don’t know if anyone has used that or some other service.

1. I have a Sony RDR-VX555. It plays VHS tapes and DVDs. Also converts VHS to DVD.

Bought it 10-12 years ago. Not sure but there should be something comparable on the market today. Hope this helps.

2. I've done vhs, 8mm and slides to disc.

When i say "I", i mean Costco.

Thought it was a fair deal and was satisfied with the result.

3. Yes I have and it's tedious

Over the last dozen years or so, I've been transferring my rare LPs to digital using an older machine I have. It's a MasterLink and was built by the music manufacturer, Alesis. It's designed to be a digital two-channel mastering recorder that includes the features needed to finish a recording prior to duplication. It includes various functions such as Fade-In, Fade-Out, Equalization at several different points, Limiting and Condensing, etc.

Internally, it has a rotating hard drive, (this unit is about 20 years old), and a CD drive/burner. It's a spectacular device and it was manufactured for a couple of decades. Here's a link, if you're interested:

However, in order to transfer recordings from one medium to another, you have to play it in real time. In order to differentiate tracks (songs), you have to manually indicate when the new track begins. It's not difficult, just boring since you have to just sit there and listen to the music.

Wait. Did I really just write that it was tedious to listen to music?

Thanks, Trump.

4. Yes, my dad used them for our old super 8s.

They came out quite nice and those were 45 to 40 years old. This was several of years ago. I would imagine with newer materials and likely upgrades in technology would improve their products. I would definitely recommend them
