Question about Canon 814XL Electronic

Hello,

I have a question that I hope someone can answer. I have purchased the above camera off of Ebay and wanted to test out the workings. I have installed batteries and am trying to get the motor to work. The Zoom works okay, but when I press the trigger, the film motor does not seem to work ...

16mm sound film transfer?

Hello folks,

Does anyone here have the ability to transfer 16mm sound film to AVI? I am thinking of maybe transferring some shorts (app. 7min. each) and would like to get an idea of the cost of the transfer.

Thanks,
Mark

IS this a good camera..won on Ebay?

Hello,

I have recently won this Canon 814XL on Ebay and was wondering if I could get some feedback from the experts on the board about this camera? It looks like a later model 814 to me. Is it? Does it still have the ...

Price of Kodak Film?

Hello,

I have looked all over the Kodak website and can not find the cost of the K40 Super 8 Film. Can someone please tell me what they charge for this film?

Minolta XL401 and 64T?

Hello,

As a followup to a question I asked here a few days ago, Will a Minolta XL401 readily accept the new 64T film from kodak and expose it properly on it's own? I looked at the WIKI site that someone was nice enough to give me and it mentions that "all minolta autopaks" will handle the new film ...

Thanks so much for that information Monobath! That is just what I needed. When I was a kid some 30 years ago, I had a cheap S8 camera. I used to shoot vacations and the kids in the neighborhood and such. I didn't shoot nearly enough of my late father though. Heck We kids even made a cheesy ...

What camera for 64t ?

Hello,

I have been wanting to get back into shooting my home movies on Super 8. Now I see in the forum here that Kodak is killing off K40. Well, I gues I am lucky in that I haven't invested in a camera yet. Anyway, more to the point. What camera will readily accept the new film 64t? Is there a list ...

I would suggest using DVD+r and setting the booktype to DVD-ROM. This can only be done with +r media. DVD-ROM is the same setting that commercial DVD's use and is the one setting that will play in all DVD players. As for the best type of DVD media, I would say Taiyo Yuden media is best. You can find ...

Roger,
Thanks for replying. I really hate to bother you about my problems. But I will take you up on your offer. I will call you later today, if that is okay. What would be a good time to catch you?

Well...that probably isn't the case here as I am using the reel that was supplied with the WP. Anyone else???

Andreas...I am intrigued by this idea of running the film in backward to avoid this problem. Could you expand on how it is done or refer me to a link on what steps are taken to achieve this? Would the film have to be played onto another reel, and then that reel is run through the WP? Are there any ...

Just a suggestion. Maybe too hard to try. Why don't you shoot in regular daytime lighting, then correct for dusk or nightime in post? I am sure there are filters available for such work for different NLE's. There is a scene in "The Notebook", where and actress is looking out over the water in the ...
