Most of the places I've been looking for are about $15 a pop, so you are right, I'd be over that amount with the number of tapes I have.

I thought about it, but I was reading that most hi-8 camcorders are at the end of their lives, and that having a service do it with a deck yields a better quality result. You also have to transfer the hi 8 to another format to import it digitally,right? I heard that some otf the pro decks can actually upconvert, which I guess is part of what I'm hoping for.
