Since we sell a lot of archival grade CD-R, DVD-R and DVD+R media we can tell there are many people out there making digital copies of their older media. Family movies, pictures, recordings etc.; it is always good to have additional copies on decent grade discs.  We get a few calls a week from customers looking for someone to transfer and edit their family recordings.  There is a local company not too far from Encore Data Products that specializes in converting your older formats to digital: Memories to Digital.  I read an article about them in a local paper a week or so ago that provided some great info about the company.  I called and spoke to a very helpful person last week; I wanted to confirm they work with clients from around the U.S. and not just in our area.  They do.  MTDigital has a great business going with two locations right now in our area.  If you are looking for someone to professionally transfer your old media to digital formats I suggest contacting them.
