FAQ
Can anyone convert a video cassette to digital files?
Answer: You can if you have the original camcorder with its power adapter and output connectors, a desktop or laptop computer, a video capture interface and a program to receive the analog files. I will demonstrate how you can do this.
How can I archive photos if I don't have a scanner?
I will demonstrate how to do this with your smartphone and store the items without paying for extra storage.
Can I convert 8mm home movie film to digital files?
I will demonstrate a DIY solution, but in many cases, it is best to let a professional handle this task. I will tell you why and where you might have this done.
