The sad thing is most of the ppl in this video are long gone.Hope they are skating together up threre.

Anyone that filmed something back then had to be rich.Thats so neat to see,a real family treasure.I've never had the chance to skate outside yet.They say natural ice is the best.

All of their home movies were transferred to VHS in the 1980s. I transferred parts of them and edited them on my computer in the past 5 years or so. The movies have been destroyed but the VHS's are holding up well enough.

Most of the segments transferred to the third VHS I found (this one is from the first two) weren't corrected for speed and appear sped up (and aren't as sharp or well-shot.)

There are lots of places that will transfer film to video/DVD.

Hope that helps.

Cheers,

If you import it into iMovie or Windows Movie maker you can slow it down.

Thanks. That's a good idea but I am done working with all these movies. There are too many to go back and correct them now.
