Old Camcorder to updated media?

[Katy1966]

I have a really old camcorder from when my daughter was a baby and I think it was Hi 8? I'm probably wrong. I'd love to get the videos put onto newer technology but don't know who to trust. Is there a reliable company that won't lose or damage my cassettes?

There’s converters you can buy to do it yourself.

I am curious about this as well. I know of places that offer this but I honestly cannot say which is good or not.

@GrungieWhere do you get these converters?

You can get them on Amazon. Just look up camcorder to digital converters and there's an entire industry dedicated to it.

Yes, those converters are used quite a bit today as people often take old VHF movies and make them digital.  The quality is surprisingly good.  However, I have not used one to recommend any brand.
