35mm Film To Computer

Is there something that takes the film from my reel, and adds it to my computer?

Thanks.

Do you have a DV video camera?

On many cameras theres an option to play through camera.
You hook up a vcr (or whatever) to the Camera's RCA and then change an option and it plays it as if it were the tape inside the DV camera.

Tell me if you do and i can help you set this up.
Or maybe you can figure it out. If you have the manual, look for play through camear or something.

Yeah, like an older video camera correct?
Do you have a newer video camera what can hook up to the computer that you can import with?

It would be setup along the lines of:

Older camera---(RCA)--->Newer Camera---(Firewire/USB)--->Computer

Newer cameras would probably not have a RCA input though, it would be an output.

Exactly but some newer cameras have an option into an output...that was the original sugestion

On mine, in the menu, it says S/AV Input, switch that to on (or off, i can never remember, you gotta play with it) and your RCA output becomes an input

the only proper way to do this is to use a scanner with 35mm film templates now these are quite expensive, but you can get some camera shops to put your negatives on cd for a small fee

Edit: most shops that do developing in the uk have an option in there development package that is put my images on a CD

Oh lol....im such a noob

Sorry bout this. Hope i didnt confuse you too much.
So mixed up, my bad.

Um...yeah, what angus said, take your negatives into a shop and they can probably turn them digital for a couple dollars.
