hello, i'm trying to find the best place in the triangle area (pref.
durham or chapel hill) to convert some old home movies (8/16mm, i think)
to videotape.  Has anyone done this locally and have any suggestions?

I did it at wolf camera video in northgate.

pretty pleased, tho it took a long time: 6wks.
they were accurate about when they would return, tho.

it cost ~100 for 8mm film to VHS.  I believe there
were about 15 spools.  min charge of 40 or 50$.
they charge by the minute of 8mm.
surprisingly no "penalty" for number of spools.

you can specify order, music (we chose silence, so
I don't know how good it would sound)
and can optionally (no additional charge) have your 8mm
spliced together and returned to you on 1 big reel.

You might try Photo Quick, 1400 E. Franklin Street, Chapel Hill, NC
	967-1377.

I have never used this particular service, but am very satisfied with
some of their other services.
