I love watching old home movies.
They bring back memories of special moments in my life.
My children love to watch the old movies and relive their memories and I'm sure their children will too.
We treasure our memories and the home movies are so special.
The perfect gift for new grandparents or new parents would have to be a camera.
Generations past, present and future can relive all those precious memories over and over.
I grew up in the home movie era.
My father had one of those movie cameras which produced movies, at first silent but later with sound, that had to be sent away to be developed.
We had many nights in front of the projector, watching home movies.
It was very frustrating because the film would often snap and need repairing before the movie could continue.
Those nights were magic and frustration in equal portions.
When my first child was born, we had the use of a video camera.
Unfortunately, the tape was not compatible with most video players and we now have old tapes but no way to play them.
When my son was born, we had a video camera, which used tapes that could be played on a regular video player.
We treasure those tapes but we have to admit the quality is not great.
When my last son was born, we had a digital video camera.
The data can be loaded to a computer.
The data can be viewed from the computer or burned to DVD for viewing on a DVD player.
The movies can also be sent from the computer to the internet, by email, or put onto a website.
The quality of the pictures and sound is excellent.
My children, now grown up, love the way their voices sounded when they were young children.
They also love being able to relive some of the highlights of their childhood.
All the old movies from the projector days can be saved onto computer files now.
If you want the best possible quality, you can send them away to be done professionally.
We just did ours ourselves because the old films have been mended so often.
The pictures are faded and a bit fuzzy sometimes but it's a great laugh for the children to see me riding my first bike.
You can also get the old VHS tapes digitally recorded so they can be saved on DVD too.
Keep those memories alive, your children and their children, will thank you for that priceless gift.
