In the past I used a company which doesn't seem to exist any more called digital lifetime. http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.digitallifetime.co.uk/ They converted all my family's old camcorder stuff to DVD. Old little Super8s and other stuff that I couldn't read. They're pricing was something like 25GBP per DVD or something like that. Can't recall. Anyway ended up with 3 DVDs of all our home videos. I've since dumped the vobs to an external hard drive as DVDs (or CDs) are a bad medium to trust long term. I still want to upload them to my Californian shell if I have find a decent enough Internet connection to do 10G without inconveniencing me too much. I am not going to bother converting them to OGG. I think MPEG is a pretty OK format. I convert all my Point&Shoot MPEGs to OGG in order to save space while uploading to http://video.natalian.org/ My big issue with OGG vorbis is that mplayer playback complains my X40 is too slow which is ridiculous in my opinion. Best wishes,
