For what it's worth the video quality was poor (although good for the time). The cost of duplicating to digital was horrendous. So recently I projected the spools onto a large domestic screen in the dark and filmed it with a modest Canon stills / video camera on a tripod. The results were "adequate" although the camera had to be placed out of the way of the projected image which meant a certain amount of keystoning. Not a proper movie film scanner, but it (sort of) served the purpose. If you can get a proper movie scanner it should do a lot better! 2021-01-01T20:38:08+00:00 https://www.augwessex.org.uk/discussions/view/1928#9562 Lionel Ogden info@augwessex.org.uk https://www.augwessex.org.uk/ There is an article about using film scanners on http://hamrick.com on the support page Hamrick sell the Vuescan software. 2021-01-01T20:38:56+00:00 https://www.augwessex.org.uk/discussions/view/1928#9563 Eric Jervis info@augwessex.org.uk https://www.augwessex.org.uk/ Thanks Euan, I've done a similar thing with a gadget that reflects the image at a right angle but the result wasn't too good. Somebody did once convert one of my films to video tape, and the result was excellent... 2021-01-01T20:45:05+00:00 https://www.augwessex.org.uk/discussions/view/1928#9564 Eric Jervis info@augwessex.org.uk https://www.augwessex.org.uk/ Thanks Lionel! 2021-01-02T09:06:46+00:00 https://www.augwessex.org.uk/discussions/view/1928#9565 Euan Williams info@augwessex.org.uk https://www.augwessex.org.uk/ Thanks both !
