Has anyone used any of the internet-based services that offer 8mm film to digital transfer services? I'm looking to have some old film reels converted and I would like to archive these in a decent resolution and in a digital format so that I can edit them later.
I see that there are several methods of doing the transfer with the more expensive option being something called Motion Picture Film Scanner. The cost for this in an HD resolution is rather expensive on a per-foot cost. I was leaning towards the Frame by Frame option in HD, but I don't know if it's worth springing for the better conversion process or if it's not really all it claims to be.
The two options I was looking at are http://www.videoconversionexperts.com/index.html and www.filmtransfer.com. Has anyone used either of these and or have an opinion based on a service you may have used?
