Old PAL Video8 tapes in Canada, but no camera

Hi,
What is the simplest and cheapest way of getting these videos onto a watchable format?

Thanks.

I have a sony vcr which plays pal Video 8 tapes, I can convert them to pal vhs/ntsc or dvd if you'd like, you can then get the dvd's for editing, how many have you got and where in Canada are you?

Hi Terry,
Thanks for offering. I think it is about 10 or maybe 15. Haven't checked for a while and I am at the office now. I work in Toronto and live in Oakville. You can also consider me borrowing your VCR (I can give you cash for security) or maybe I should just get a cheap second hand VCR if you can instruct me which is the right one. I just moved to Canada and probably need to get a VCR anyway. There is still some use for it in today's day and age.

Thanks,
Martin

Terry,
I did not see you are in Victoria. So this will obviously not work. Maybe just give me some guidance on your type of VCR and then I can see if I can get a 2nd hand one somewhere.
