Old Ed footage surfaces

Rita R
Finally found all my old super 8mm films and found the one of when Ed was here in LA. It includes the Equicon Convention display in 1973, Ed with fans, and Ed at the Toy Store in Santa Monica, signing photos and greeting people.

I know one lady here has been hoping I'd find pix of her and her kids who were there that day. Please write again. My email keeps gobbling up old emails and then I can't answer.

I will be making DVDs of this footage. If anyone's interested, please let me know offline, also what format, i.e., US or European, and I'll let you know how much the dub will cost.

Rita R.

Cool! Also, if you are interested, once its converted and put onto DVD,
I could add the video to my UFO website... (or not, if you don't want
it on the web)

I'm not familiar with Super8-to-DVD conversions... do these turn out well,
quality-wise? And do some technologies that provide better results than
others?

Hi Rita,

How much footage is there, in terms of duration? I would think that
a YouTube upload or two might be a nice easy way for people to see
it, assuming no more than 30 minutes or so.
