Hi all,

I have a collection of super 8 cine films (old family type)

That I would like to be able to put on DVD.



What I do not know where to get done is, recording from the film into
digital.

I do not have a video camera of any sort.

What I would like is to find a firm that would do the transferring then for
me to edit and record to DVD.

Any idea was to start?

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...

Super 8 film has "very" good resolution, and when flying spotted and put on
DVD should be pristine.

I'm sure you can, I had flying spot transfer from Super 8 to video about 15
years ago from a place in Soho. The audio visual mags would advertise the
service.

Or,just look around. Do a google on "flying spot scanner" and "super 8" and
lots comes up.

Jessops were the cheapest when I was shopping around. IIRC they job it out
to Kodak, who job it out to someone else. They charge per reel so it pays
to
splice the tapes together if there are a lot of odd bits.

Yellow pages. Not that cheap mind, and not that great in terms of
quality either.
