8mm film conversion

In the famous "forgotten shoe box at the back of the cupboard" I've discovered a load of old 8mm (pre-super 8) family movies that really should be put onto DVD. Anyone got any ideas about ways of going about this SVP?

The film stock dates from about 1950-65 I think and some of it looks a bit ropey. Does anyone have any words of wisdom for handling or cleaning it?.

Thanks.

I did this a few years ago with some film the wife had from when she was a child. It was easy enough because a) I had a projector and b) I had easy access to a video camera.

It was just a case of seeting up a small screen at right angles to a mirror. The projected image was reflected on the the mirror and 'filmed' be the video camera linked to a TV monitor. Really simple and with very good quality results - so much so that these have now been copied direct on to DVD.
