The cost is minimal when you consider how much they can fit onto the DVD and that you are preserving your family history for generations to come.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6982924932060917225.post-84871145284586758012009-10-18T11:24:37.602-04:002009-10-18T11:24:37.602-04:00I too have many 16mm movies that my grandfather to...I too have many 16mm movies that my grandfather took from the early 30s up to about the mid 50s..all in color. There are five cases, each of which has 12 cannisters,with full reels in each cannister.They cover anything from driving the old route from/to Connecticut to Florida, a trip to Los Angeles,mowing and baling hay,and of course the requisite films of his grandchildren. I am very interested in the preservation of these films but am concerned with the cost of transferring them to DVDs.I fear that this could be a stupendously expensive undertaking. Any thoughts or suggestions?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05512419963888572175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6982924932060917225.post-15935435310419536512009-10-16T09:25:46.356-04:002009-10-16T09:25:46.356-04:00My husband suggests contacting the library of any ...My husband suggests contacting the library of any University.

My niece copied some of them onto VHS tapes, so I have the originals. However, but now I wonder how or where or who can I contact if I want to get rid of them. I am almost 80 years old and I know my 2 daughters and their families will probably not keep them.<br />Please answer on the internet or in the Kovel newsletters, which I subscribe to.
