Yes.  Check with your local 'Video Station" (if you have one), or other
video dealer.  Sometimes even the local photo dealer can get the films
transferred.

One question you will have to ask is how they do it.  What I mean here is
do they just project the image into a camera or do they use a special
projector that is synced to the video's vertical sync?  If they don't sync
the projector to the video, you will get the awful flicker that occurs
when they are out of sync.  Be sure to check on that.
