I have a question.
I have 102Gigs of Digitized 8MMfilm that was taken by my Father-In-law. It’s on my computer ready for editing.
My question is:
Would it be better, and is it possible, to edit with chapters with the ability to play like a DVD and put them on a large Flash Drive rather than burn them onto, I’m guessing now, 20 or more DVD disks.
Which would be expensive.
I know manufacturers are now starting to include USB ports with their TV’s. I was discussing this with a friend and thought I would ask this community.
Any help and advice would be appreciated. Open to all suggestions
Thanks in advance for all your input.

Define expensive...
My "gold standard" Verbatim DVD+R are 30 cents each
For personal projects that are not archive type, generic DVDs are 20 cents each

Best, 1TB pocket USB drive, around $60, UHD, most modern TVs can handle. DVDs have advantages: Lose one, you still have all the rest, granny knows how they work. But you'll have backup(s) anyway.

Thanks for your input. This is very good to know and consider.

With the prices of USB flash drives falling and capacity increasing, I deliver everything on USB. They can be played on multiple devices, from very large screen televisions to smart phones.

How do you do menus and scene selection ?
