Do someone have some experiences to push processing tri-x (old, perhaps not well preserved...) ?

Do you recommend some developers, developing times and temperatures?

digvid,

Thanks, I did not know that; it is an excellent reason to upgrade. It will save me a lot of work time to let the transfer run to the end of 400 foot rolls or larger than 25 feet at a time. And with the different OS I will be able to use your app, too. Cool.

And you have ...

I heard recently that there is some kind of pressure plate system of its own in Bauer S 715 XL. Is it true or only a joke?

Now I perhaps found the reason for this rumour. In Bauer manual it is said that there is 4 motors in the camera and

"Motor 4 = servo-motor for pressing the film against ...

Porst Sound Stereo 215 has it too. They have been fairly cheap in ebay.

Select "Search" from the upper part of the page and put "cleaning", "isopropyl" etc to the search field.

Hi,

Just got back. My PC system is NTSC avi or analog. However my set has the Panasonic DV Codec, so, Premiere can use your file, as well as Virtual Dub.
Your file has some frame doubling, that is, not every frame is unique.
I capture using VidCap and get an avi file that contains every frame ...

Atta,

as I understand Dodcap it is not concerned with framerate. This means that you can capture to any framerate you like and change it within the program.

Was the original footage 25fps, 24fps or 18 fps?

Anyway, capture at 25 fps, so that you'll have a frame accurate transfer (1 filmframe = 1 ...

Hey Atta,

What framerate is the avi you got from the capture?

If Dodcap can capture 29.97, 23.96 fps or even 24 you'll be allright, and the conversion is smooth. If 25 fps is your only solution, the motion will most likely jump.



It's originally 25 fps. In Dodcap there are 15,18 and 24 fps ...

I didn't get answers to my NTSC question...

Perhaps it's not so easy to get ntsc ready material straight from Pal system. I found some PAL-NTSC converters but they are fairly expensive (aDVantage PAL/NTSC Converter, Canopus DVFormat Converter...).

How about still pictures? It seems to be not ...

One of my friend wants to take some WP transfered 8mm footage as dv-avi to USA and edit it there. I use Dodcap and captured today a short R8-example using NTSC 18 fps -option in Dodcap. I'd be happy to know, if it's possible to use this avi for videoediting.

This is from 1967 and there is some ...

aren't you confusing mean age with mean starting age? most of the participants were born in the 50's, 60's and 70's and still you say that the mean age is 20 years and the older shooters were hard to find? my own calculations give a mean age of 37 years, which sounds more right.

(1*88+1*78+2*68+12 ...

I had the same problem once, vertical blur, and I tried to adjust my WP but nothing helped. Then I noticed that it was my video camera which produced the blur. It was in memory mode instead of normal record mode. Have you checked your camera? Have you changed something there?

I made one test using Kimmo's system. I used Pathé Baby 60 -projector and Sony TRV900 camera, 6 fps. The biggest problem was that frame frequency of old projector varied all the time.

There are unknown people from France, Pornichet (on the coast of the Bay of Biscay near Nantes) in that film ...

Hey all,

My gracious girlfriend bought me a Bolex B8 and C8 for my birthday just yesterday......... :D

I'm pysched!........

I'm sorry that my congratulations come too late to Tod and Patrick ;-) (in fact the 6th of December is the Birthday of Finland, I mean our Independence day:-)

I understand the "develop a negative" part. And I understand using the Work Printer to transfer. But how did you go from a negative to a positive?

Are you working on a Mac or a PC? What program did you use to do this?


You can do the reversion directly in your camera using the "negative ...
