Same here, but I am dreaming up a way of doing it with home designed equipment. I do believe it can be done and in my case all are either 8mm or Super8 format. I have scanned individual frames in and re-assembled them but that was a major PITA!!
there is a website called videointerchange, that does some very fancy stuff, extracting utility from the jaws of futility, as it were, taking even videotapes with catastrophic time/base errors and making them viewable again. chances are you have seen their work on PBS on some of the musical oldies programming. in England there is this group of techies that have done some amazing restoration work on the old dr. who programs, even going so far as taking kinescopes and restoring them to full motion and even extracting hidden color information!
