Mom just pulled a box from the attic. Ton of old family film from '50s, '60s, '70s (as pictured)

Anyone familiar with this stuff? Or a service that can convert it to DVD/Cloud?

Located in Temple, TX but can ship it to a strong referral.

I used imemories to convert some old stuff like this.

Lots of options out there but i found them to be best value and quality.

Are you looking for laserdisc or Blu Ray?

I converted a lot of 8mm (silent) film myself by finding a local projector on eBay that had a variable speed adjuster. Then I recorded the screen with a regular video camera, adjusting the speed to remove flicker. Worked well, but took some time of course.

I used a Wolverine Moviemaker (available on Amazon) to convert a bunch of reels (60s - 70s) and I liked doing it myself so I didn't mind the time commitment. Thought the cost was reasonable compared to the outsourcing options.
