transfer film to video

[Cees Mutsaers]

I have a lot of Super 8 film (about 24 hours) which I want to transfer to video using my HPX301. Is there a simple device to project the film on and to record it from the other side with a camera? What scene file do you advice ? Are there other things to think about ???

I know you can pay places to do a quality scan transfer but I am sure it will cost a bundle, here is a cheap way found on the web. http://www.ehow.com/how_5082010_transfer-super-film.html

We use one of these:

You may get one of ebay, but we purchased several at the time as they are tricky to maintain but you get okay results.

Hi Cees,

Transfer your films with a matt-glass (screen) works very good, you can borrow the one i have without hotspot, my location is Rotterdam The Netherlands.

I have a projector for Super 8 film (Elmo Brillant) but I have to project it onto something so I can film it with the HPX301 from behind. I thought there were some tools on the marcket to do this.

Thanks for the offer but I have lots of film and it will take ages moreover I want to have this facility myself for customers. So can you send me a picture of your set up and where to buy the struff. Projecting onto matt glass will reduce resolution of the Super8 film ???
