What equipment would I need ? I know some scanners have slide attachments but because I need to transfer several thousand, not really viable one-by-one, so are there extra gizmos ? Do I need special software or v high spec computer ? Thanks !

Scanners for home use give very small file sizes and aren't really worth the hassle.
The best way is to project the slide on to a screen and photograph it with a digital camera at maximum resolution, then adjust it in Photoshop. You get a large file size and can print to a large size photo.

2500 at 25p each is £625. A decent slide scanner would be £600 minimum, automated feed attachment another £200-300. Add to that the time for you to learn how to use it, load it up, process the files, save down to DVD etc. and you're probably better off letting the shop do all the hardwork.
Slide attachments on flatbed scanners don't generally give brilliant results, certainly nowhere near as good as dedicated slide scanners, and you'd only be able to do at most 4-5 at a time...

You can buy video cards for your computer that will allow you to plug attachments into them. I have a simple one that i can plug in my camera, vcr, or video recorder (you remember the ones that take tapes). It's as simple as that. If you have a machine to display your slides you can plug it into your video card. Some are relatively cheap (less than $30) Then try roxio, a microsoft digital editing program to manipulate them into digital format. I am sure if you goto a photo lab they would walk you through it,or offer you a discount on a large oder.

There is no need to use a negative film scanner use a ordinary scanner put your film strip on its bed place a high power white colour light on it using emergency lamp or any other an then scan it without disturbing the light, then burn it onto DVD.
