Regarding your 8mm and 16mm films, you should definitely hook up with Puggo here if you haven't already...he is able to do and has done a number of transfers to DVD from those formats for preservation. I'm thinking of that 16mm Boba Fett commercial in particular: I'm betting it's for the large-size action figure, and it would be great to have it digitally preserved in excellent quality.

I am an admirer of Puggo's work and have enjoyed the Puggo Grande many times.

I am in the process of having that 16mm commercial transferred by my brother-in law, actually. He's a wizard with the old school tech, but I may pass his transfer on to someone on this forum for the final, digital tweaks and restoration. I'll alert everyone once all the stars are in alignment.
