[jenevers]

is it possible to transfer them to DVDs or even some digital storage?

Plenty of companies offering to do it on Google.

 

For example https://www.video2dvdtransfers.co.uk/?gclid=CjwKCAiAx_DwBRAfEiwA3vwZYrJE3mraGtsjNo2jmr8zkq1RuuaGnn4qTH-PKMQ22Yx1EckmRCPCZBoCWsUQAvD_BwE

Knowing very little I would suggest you go straight to the the latest tech. Even that will be out of date soon. In audio terms I can remember when 78s gave way to 33 1/3, which gave way to reel to reel tape, to casette , to CD which has given way to on line downloads and cloud storage. ( any errors , note my first three words) . TV / Video has gone the same way. We got a 9" tv in 1949. ( they've got the same model in the Imperial War Museum). Now, if i wanted to I could , sitting in this pub,  press a few buttons on this Tablet and watch live tv.

 

PS. This Adnams Broadside is VERY pleasant

I put video8 to dvd into amazons search box and got loads of things that say the will do the job, one example is what ever this thing is.

For £40 quid you can do it from the comfort of your own home...

He didn't say he didn't, he just asked if it was possible.

I've got some Super 8 film which my father shot in the 60s and 70s, including some canal boating, which I really ought to dig out from storage and get transferred to digital.
