<p>8mm projector ?? for online inquiries! 3-30-15<br>
<br />Hello!<br>
I am trying to dump both 8mm & super 8 to my computer via a telesync box <br />and a sony hi8 camcorder with a capture unit (aren't we all:) I knew I would <br />run into a frame rate problem before I started, so my projector does not have <br />any type of speed control whatsoever. I am under the assumption after <br />reading various posts, that most film in this category run on average @ 18fps, <br />yet camcorder and/or capture unit grabs it at 24fps? I have seen other <br />brands online that have either a switch to toggle between 18-24 or a variable <br />speed control, but I haven't seen what that control tops out at. One was 14- <br />22fps, which is close, but it makes sense ( I could be wrong ) that if it was 24 <br />(or 23.97fps) that would eliminate the "strobe" or "flicker" effect. I have/use <br />anything from a simple Nero program, to Vegas &/or Premiere to edit in post, <br />but with what I have now, it looks better just playing it on the projection <br />screen.<br>
Do you have any suggestions or products that can fill this request without <br />spending $1500-$3000 on a machine that has a camera and dvd burner <br />already built in?<br>
I've seen everything from shooting it on a screen/wall/piece of paper to <br />making a lens out of a webcam (which looks very in depth) and was just <br />wanting to get thoughts on both process and products.<br>
Thank you in advance for your assistance, and moreso for such an <br />informatiable site!<br>
Sincerely,<br>
Dave</p>
