So, ya'll seem to be very knowledgable here!~
My husband just mentioned something to me for the umpteenth gazillion time...and Christmas is coming...and I have NO Idea...so, thought I'd ask:
Do you know of a company or link where you would (I guess) send your 70's slides and have them put on a DVD format?!?!
He has BOXES and BOXES of them! thank you

there are lots of places that will do that for you. some convert them and you only pay for the ones you want. here is a list on a google search http://www.google.com/#sclient=psy-a...ll0l0&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.,cf.osb&fp=d566e0fbd09c8604&biw=985& bih=549

I'll bet if you call a camera shop they can do it or recommend someone in your area that does it.

We used Superior Slides just a couple of months ago: http://www.superiorslides.com/index.html
and they did a great job. Slide show and jpg files.

I used this company to get my Mother's old film developed and put onto a dvd. When I watched it for the first time I bawled for an hour because I got to see all of my deceased family memebers again. It was like I was there with them.
I am so glad I sent the films to them.

There is a gadget that you could buy that will do it for you - IF you have a DVD burner on your computer. The name of it escapes me now, but I bought it on ebay for about $49. You put it the slide, it shows up on your screen, and you save it. Then, you transfer it to your DVD. I made one DVD for each of my daughters with all their pictures on it. If you are interested, I will try to find out the name of that gadget.

I did that for a scrapbook I made for my Mom. I took the slides to a local camera shop. Cost me a fortune but she was thrilled with the results.
