Video Transfer

[Tech Writer]

This is (very likely) NOT a Linux question.  But, since this mailing list is such a good resource for Southern New Hampshire technical resources, I'm guessing one of you could easily answer my question... 

Does anyone know of a resource in the SNH area where I could get some old 8mm 3" reel movies converted to AVI files?  I'm also curious what sort of hardware they'd use?  I did this a long time ago, by just playing the old movies while my video camera was recording.  But, there must be a better way than this.   If it was cost-effective, I'd even be interested in getting the hardware to do it, but I have no idea what that would be.
