Thanks for the suggestion on 8mm to DVD conversion. Any way to tell if the film is going to survive a run through the projector before I do anything? My dad has some 50+ year old films.

Do you have an old 8mm film editor around? Run the film through there first, cranking by hand, to check for lose splices before running through a projector. Most of the films I transfered were from the early ‘60s and the Kodak film stock was still quite strong.
