Depending on how many tapes (etc) that you have, buying the equipment and doing it yourself may be much less expensive. I do have a digital movie camera that takes the 8 mm(?) magnetic tape cartridges and I have lent it out for others to use. If you have actual 8 mm FILM, I also have a projector and a "copy" unit let I have never used. This would probably need some experimentation but should also work.
