Have you noticed that not too many people are concerned with their old VHS tapes, 8mm tapes, or some of their similar friends like VHS-C, Super 8, mini-dv, and more? Well, I must say, they are in for a rude awakening when they go to clean out those closets or attics (hopefully not!) and find their tapes and reels have deteriorated beyond repairing. Actually, there is nothing that can be done with film when it deteriorates except cry. And then you wouldn't want your tears to add any more unwanted damage to the exposed film! A good place to go and ask questions is a facebook page that will help you with those type of issues in getting your film transfered to DVD before it is too late! You can find that facebook site at
They have a transfering service that will help you with all your video questions and needs. Also, check out there video called "Florida 1975", it shows a minutes worth of video put to music of how 8mm can look from that long ago as long as it has no deterioration.
It is always good to keep your film, tapes and reels in a temperature controlled area of your home, preferably around 68 degrees give or take a few degrees. You want to avoid extreme cold or Hot to store them.
