Preserving Memories

Do you have a stack of these in a closet somewhere?  I finally took my 8mm tapes to Costco and had them put on DVD this summer.  They had a coupon in their summer flyer so I decided that now was a good a time as any.  It's something I had been putting off for years. They messed up the DVD imaging a bit so I got a few of them for free which was pretty sweet since it's not particulary cheap to have this done. It's not a lot of video really and we were pretty selective about when we took out the video camera when the kids were young (yes...I realize using the term 'video camera' dates myself).  We all look forward to watching these DVDs over the next few evenings.  Nate and Chad enjoy seeing themselves as 'enfants'.  Of course, once we got a digital camera all the video went digital.  Does anyone know if there is a service or program that would put all my video clips onto one DVD in a continuous fashion.  I could burn them clip by clip onto a disc but I'd like to be able to play a DVD of them all continuously.  Does that make sense?
Well, perserving memories takes time and money but it's certainly worth it.  We've come a long way from slides!

We would like to see that when you get it together.

Sure, you could do that with a video editting program. Maybe Eldon and I can whip that together...

I was just thinking the other day that I'd like to get our wedding video put onto a DVD. I'm worried that it will cost an arm and a leg though.

Ah...I need to do this with several videos that can't be replaced.

Oh, I need to do that ASAP! I'd be curious about what they charge...
