My 82 year old mother was able to view images shot in the 50s to bring back memories for her! The flicker was gone and the jumping (from our own attempt to capture to digital). Very watchable. My older brothers and sister were able to view themselves as they haven't been in 50 years! It was well worth it! I am working on a second batch to pack up and send! DVDs played flawlessly and the menu allows you to select the reel you wish to view instantly!
