What is the best way to convert old Cine film to a digital format?

I have inherited my grandfathers archive and I'd like to watch the footage and share it with the rest of the family. I have the projector but I don't know how to thread the film. I'm not rich enough to give it all to a specialist company. Can anyone help?|||Definitely take it to a specialist camera shop they will do it or know someone else who will. It might even be possible to convert to DVD now!|||take it to a shop that specialises in doing that sort of thing|||Find a place that transfers it over, and ask if you can set up a deal with them where they show you how to do it yourself. They might be more open to it if you offer them the projector when you're done, because they use those all the time.|||A friend did this recently and invested in specialist equipment but found the best result was to take a video of the film as it was being projected onto a screen. A decent digital camcorder (set up on a tripod) quite close to the screen and just below the projector will give good results (it will pick up the noise of the cine projector unless you can switch off the camera's mike.) Threading (or lacing up) the film is not difficult to work out but there should be a loop above and below the gate (where the light shines through) if there are no tensioning cogs.
