403027 2005-11-09 22:04:00 Is there a way of putting Super 8mm movie film on to my hardrive so as to burn onto CD or DVD without having to put it onto video tape first.

Trevor :help:

403028 2005-11-09 23:25:00 yes, you can run through an analogue to digital converter box, or if you know anybody with miniDV camera a lot of these have built in converters, like my canon. plod (107)
403029 2005-11-09 23:38:00 I would have thought you would need a super 8mm movies projector and a video camera connected to a DVD recorder maybe.
I would like to do the same with some old family movies that I have on standard 8mm movie films. But I haven't been able to find a projector that I can use.

I trying to go down this road as well but can't find a decent duel gauge 8mm projector. The best way is frame by frame conversion but there is no one in NZ that does this sort of thing..

403031 2005-11-09 23:51:00 We had a bix full of old 8mm movies, and had them professionally converted to VHS (now transcribed to DVD) several years ago.

Most main cities have companies that will do the conversion, and we only had it done to VHS as DVD burning was unheard of at the time.

403034 2005-11-13 01:05:00 I have some memories of a device that I used once to transfer slides that should do the job for you.

It basicly was a box that you projected the image on one side and the other side had a hole for the camera to go into.

The images were not to bad, and lots of focus adjustment etc was needed to get things right.

Cannot for the life of me remember what it was called, but they were very popular a "few" years back.
