[MacDV] Re 8mm to DV

[Gerhard]

If they can make the DV file for you why not make it easier for
yourself.  The VHS tape is of lower quality but the 8 mm film is even
lower quality so if they can only do the VHS tape I would not worry
about it.

Found a place to transfer old 8mm 25 foot double films to VHS or DV.

Since I'm uncertain about the process, for the best quality am I better 
off:

1) getting them to make digital .mov files of the footage OR
2) take the VHS tape and use something like a Canopus 1000 to make my 
own .mov  Is the quality going to be significantly less than:
3) get a NTSC mini dv copy and download footage via firewire (I would 
have to rent the mini dv camera as we only have a PAL mini dv.)

Then one transfer place said they use an 'Aerial'? transfer system.

Any comments appreciated.
Lynn
