Save precious memories BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE! | Mini DV and 8mm Archive Guide! [Everything you need]

Today's video is a big one, and one I've sat on for way too long. This is the COMPLETE GUIDE on how to digitize and archive your 8mm, Hi8, Video8 and MiniDV video tapes to preserve your lost family memories and keep them viable for the future. You want to do this before they degrade too heavily and are lost forever.
What do you think? Should I open my own digitization service???? Comment Below!
