Recently, COSTCO ran a special on their new offering of film to video transfer using Yes Video and their equipment. I decided to see how much bette my film would look, so I selected 150 ft of Super 8 and gave them a try. My wife & I scrutinized the video comparing the Yes Video with my dvd transfer and we saw very little difference - certainly not enough to redo the transfer.
Jim's method is a bit tedious but worth the effort if you have more time than money!
Unfortunately, I did not keep the instructions.
