Something that gives bad transfers.
You can get better results from projecting the film to a white A4 paper and record it "off the wall" (or rather off the A4 paper ;) ) with a camcorder.

When I first wanted to get into transferring my old home movies to digital, I bought one of these off of Ebay. It was CHEAP and for good reason. It was CRAP. I tried to play with it for a while and finally gave up and did what I should have done in the first place - I bought a Workprinter from Roger. Best move I ever made.
