Cine Film To Dvd?

[Tefler]

I'm not sure where best to post this, so have put it on Technology, but thought that photographers and people who make their own videos amongst the 'arts' fraternity might also be able to help.

My mother has several reels of 8mm cine film which she would like to see again, but none of the family is willing to risk the old projector. Ideally, we'd like to have the films copied to DVD. I was wondering if anybody has experience of this and if there are any recommendations of a company which can be trusted with such precious artefacts? The thought of sending them away to a company I've never heard of is frightening!

Thanks for any help.

Thanks for the swift reply, Buenchico. This looks promising. I wonder if anybody here has used their services for cine to DVD?

I was in the same situation as you. I checked in my Yellow Pages and found a local company that did it for me.
