There use to be an old topic reguarding the transfer of 8mm movies using a video camera to capture the projected movie. I transferred a number of movies about 8 to 10 years ago with great success. I reciently inheritated a number of old super 8mm movies and want to do it again. Unfortunately I don't remember how I set up the camera for recording other that using manual. Does anyone have any suggestions on the camera settings?

<p>I too am on a limited budget and am going the project on wall and video capture. I have a variable speed ELMO dual 8 projector and a JVC Everio camera. I noted in a previous post that I should turn all auto functions off on the camera. Shutter set to 1/60th, and have no flicker, I do have occasional "over exposed" scenes. The focus is fine. I am projecting on a professional movie screen with my image about 6" square. By ALL auto functions does it mean ALL? Any suggestions on setting the manual settings on the camera. </p>
