No.

"1080 quality" could actually be achieved by scanning 8mm film in standard definition PAL and then uprezzing to 1080. If I ask them what the resolution is and they say it is 1080 and it's really 964, they have misrepresented the technical specs of the camera. But if they say the camera is...

Thanks for the thoughtful reply. I really appreciate and agree that resolution is only one factor of the quality of any image, and optics, the source, mechanical factors and such often have a far greater effect while being far harder to quantify. But it still feels off to me to take one of the few ...

You can find her at http://www.perrymovietransfers.com Hmmm...that web design looks familiar... Just out of curiosity, why the JPEG text? It keeps it from being searchable via Google...is that part of the plan? There are actually plenty of text tags hidden down at the bottom of the page as white HT...

I know it might be inconvenient, but it seems like if your business is handling digital video, picking up a used $300 Mac might be a good investment for those customers working on that platform. I know it's an extra step but making it easy for customers makes them want to come back. Unless somethin...

Huh. 964 is only 90% of 1080p, and you have to be cropping inside the frame otherwise you'd lose even more when you crop out any oversampling. Just feels kind of disingenuous. 1080p is a very specific technical claim. Well, there is no intent to deceive though I suppose I could put a denoted explan...

That's good to know. Quick question Roger, on her page is says she is capturing at 1080p. Does that mean you have upgraded the camera? Well, not to put too fine a point on it, her page actually says that all film is captured at "1080p quality". The camera is still the same 964 but that's ...

Hi, all! Just a plug for my ex wife Annette' s transfer service. For any of you older forum members, you might remember that she used to run our transfer service in the earliest days of MovieStuff back in Houston. With our daughter in college, Annette has decided to resume doing transfers. She has a...

Nice! Love the colors.

But by STARTING with full aperture 2k, I have the flexibility to frame up and down in the 16:9 edit frame and didn't have to scale up from what amounts to a 1440x1080 picture. . Oh, I agree. My point was that, for people asking about scanning their home movies in higher resolution than 2k, there re...

Which scanner is that?

You can manually set NLE's like Final Cut Pro X and I'd bet Premiere as well to any size. I'm editing Super 8 in full aperture 2K (2048x1556) right now actually with Final Cut Pro. That's true but my point is it doesn't gain you anything since there's no release format for HD 4:3 that I'm aware of....

Of course, one of the things I have to deal with is the request for ever increasing resolution without regard to whether it's warranted. The 2k Chameleon we are looking at for next year should pretty much be the limit for what we would be offering as a "stock" item for this unit. While 4k ...

It was almost hard to tell the difference between the 8mm and 16mm...maybe the noise cleanup is doing too good of a job! Well, certainly at that small size, yeah. In truth, Neat Video can make the film look far cleaner and more polished than it would ever look projected. That's not something that I...

Well, I finally got around the making a short demo for the Universal. Enjoy!

I tried to embed the video here but the forum wouldn't let me.
