Re: Transferring 8mm reels to dvd
One soultion is to buy a DVD recorder with built in vcr...or buy a dvd recorder and you can use your vcr to playback the tapes as the DVD Recorder is recording it. Depending on how many tapes you are talking about, your talk alot of money cuase it takes time.

They make VCR adapters for 8mm tapes 
I have done this recording stuff (its part of my job) to computer to edit, then make a nice chaptered DVD...

FIL did that for MIL for Christmas. It was so nice. He had a place in CT do it and they did a nice job, even added music.

Re: Transferring 8mm reels to dvd
My dad just did this last year and gave the DVD's to my sister and I for Christmas. He was really hesitant to send his films to someone, because if they screwed up, then they would be gone forever. But he did tons of research and went with film-to-DVD.com And they really came out great! He also got all of his 8mm films back too!
