Remember when...

Well I've finally decided it's time to try and record-archive-transfer (or whatever they want to call it at this point) our old 8mm videos. I started out just finding and rewinding the tapes so they were all ready to go, but of course that only lasted about 2 tapes. That would be the point when I hear "what are you watching?........ I WANT TO SEEEEEE!!!!!" the next thing I know we are watching the kids first Christmas, college stuff, vacation highlights and a miriad of other forgotten memories all huddled around the massive 2" screen on the video camera.
After i finish this task I'm going to try and figure out how to do the same thing for all of the REEL 8mm movies from Big Grandpa's collection as well as the miles of cellulose from the Jording files.
If anyone has any suggestions or recommendations, don't be shy.
