As ever Google is your friend

If you are looking for somewhere local, Jessops and many other photo
processing shops offer this service.


Make sure they use a flying spot scanner to take the image from the film.
The best I believe.

That would be far too expensive and not necessary for home 8mm movie
which does not have great quality in the first place. In any case, I
doubt you'd find anyone to do it that way.

Broadcasters use them in their telecine machines for 16mm and sometimes
have 8mm gates available, if you have a friend in TV engineering you
might get it done...
