transfer 16mm & 8mm film to digital-recommendations?

i have a project that contains 1.5 hrs of 16mm film and 4 hrs of 8mm film.

none of this material has sound.

anyone with a recommendation about where/how to have it transferred?

(i'm not sure costco is still in the film transfer business)

if possible, i'm really seeking personal experience recommendations.

thanks in advance.

be well.

Late last year I was looking for someone to transfer some 1954 8mm film for me. The company I'd used 10 years ago was not getting good reviews. I found many companies doing transfers. Some more "high tech" than others. This time around I used Got Memories in Phoenix.

They did a good job for me and I would recommend you contact them. You'll easily find them with Google.

Tell them you want the transfer for editing. They returned my file on a flash drive I supplied.
