[MacDV] 8MM to DVD transfer

[Mark Sullivan]

I used an outfit right outside of DC called Colorlab, in Bethesda, MD.

http://www.colorlab.com/

They did an aMAZing job, including color correction, brightness, etc.  The
resulting DVD looks better than the original film did.  The cost was $1600
for 2 hours of film, but that goes up or down depending upon how many scenes
there are (they color correct at the beginning of each scene, so if your
film has a lot of cuts, it's going to be pricier).  They also clean and
restore the film itself.

I think an option is just tell them not to bother with color correction and
just have an unmanned transfer for a lot less, but given the sentimental
value of my films, it was worth the expense.
