Re: Anyone know anything about converting Super8 film to a digital format? - The UnDoug - 02-15-2016 My suggestion would be to *definitely* pay the $100 to have it done! I have a projector, and have done the "project it and film it" routine, and while it *does* work, it does not produce great results. One issue is that old film like that has an "FPS" (frames per second) rate of, I believe, 24 FPS, video camera film at 30 FPS. If those aren't the exact numbers, there is definitely a difference. This difference causes "flickering" in the digitized copy. There are projectors with adjustable frame rates, but they are typically expensive, since everyone knows they're in demand. Re: Anyone know anything about converting Super8 film to a digital format? - Racer X - 02-16-2016 If they are doing it properly, they do a 3:2 pulldown, and convert the film's 24fps to "30" fps for the video. I have no reason to believe that a business like Costco doesn't farm out to someone who knows what they are doing.
