...so, as a lab I would send you the DVDs ( the 35 mm A and B rolls are long gone) you rip them, convert them , upload them back etc.... and get paid. I think more business for you that way....

FYI : There are dozens of various free and cheap software available but to me ( and to many others) they all end up the same way: Many of us are not geeks ... I am able to rip panties from some cutie but not rip a DVD..
