Kodak!, I could write a book but the short story is while raising 3 kids film, actually the developing of film, became a luxury. Once I bought a camcorder the pixels plus sound was a huge move forward. The K-1000 and lenses went in the closet. Big mistake :( .
Then, a now dearly departed railfan friend, gave me a Canon EOS Rebel DSLR. I burnt as many pixels as I could squeeze onto the few memory chips I had to transfer to my desktop. But most of that is just routine boring stuff of little value today. Images made on 35mm have been scanned, but not so great, as they were all from prints. I didn't shoot slides after many difficulties with projectors (remember them?).
So, what to do with all that unfortunately analog video? I bought some sort of tape to digital device and converted all my tapes to DVDs. Big problem is they are just DVDs that you can't search or play individual segments.Last thought here is to buy a program to extract individual segments. I have a freebie program but it limits the input to only a few minutes, not 6 hours! I tried it on some short segments but it inverts the images. A Conrail OCS flying by upside down is sort of weird.
Such is life!
