Since film projectors, cassette tapes, VCRs and VHS video cameras aren't popular anymore, family recordings on film or tapes are difficult or impossible to experience.
Ed DiMeglio operates RetroMedia, a business in Smithfield that converts obsolete types of film and tape into modern digital versions that can be played on today's home electronic devices.
The company's walls are lined with old equipment that was probably discarded by most families and businesses many years ago. These vintage items are used to play the old formats in the process of giving them new lives as digital recordings.
