For Telecine Transfer what camera do you use?

[Konton]

Hi Jermone,

Read my website here where I talk about telecine transfers:
http://www.super8mm.org/edit.html
I kinda explain how each process of transferring works.

Just visit at my transfer 8mm site and try to load some of these mpg-files there (some of these ones are very big).

Hi jukkasil,

Great examples on your site. I am curious about something. You state on your site that every frame is scanned in as a bitmap. I also understand you are using a Sony DCR-PC100 Digital Video Camera which used the 1 Mega Pixel CCD.

So my question is, are you using the functions of the camera (Digital STill Capture), or are you using the functions of the software (Batch File Capture) to pull the images in. Either way I hope my new camera will have the same great quality you do. I mean you got a Zeiss lens and the 1/4th inch HAD Mega Pixel CCD. Will my progressive scan 1/3rd inch CCD compare in quality? Only time will show.

Oh, you may want to change the color of your video file links to something other than black. I didn't know for a while they were even links. Just a suggestion.

Jukkasil, I have hard time to spell your name because it is so different but cool name though. I checked your site. I learned about it. I am curious about period of K40 in 70's super K40 and today's super K40. Are they the same because I noticed ebay so have k40 but 70's I am not sure about it. Curious about your respond to Konton about batch and ccd. Jerome

I'm using Canopus Raptorvideo-software, which has still capture-mode I use with Sony PC-100. My frame resolution is normal 720x576 (PAL).

I still haven't found out have to use that megapixel-still-image-option with Workprinter. I'd need suitable software, which could capture frames from camera to PC using this still image resolution. Sam problem with better digital still cameras.

I don't think that Zeiss lens has so much influences during transfering with WP.

But the bigger CCD will make your transfer quality even better than mine!

OK, Thanks for an advice, I'll change them soon.

HEH!

You know, my real name Jukka Sillanp?? is very common here in Finland, but from your side it really sounds different!

It's like the name Jorma Kaukonen (the man who played guitar in Jefferson Airplane at 60's), very normal name here in Finland, but sounds like from outer space in U.S.A!

There are some little differences between old stocks and newer ones, especially Kodachrome II and K25 stocks differ much from K40.

For the record, this is the post that sparked the Moviestuff quote that Cal quoted out of context:

I must misread,... 3ccd may be an answer which can do 24p for film to transfer to digital format. I would go for mutliplexer lens than homemade telecine.

I have a question about the edge enhacement used in Mini-DV. Since this is one of big differences between DV & Super-8 everyone on this list points out, I'd like to hear your opinions on the effect this has when using a DV camcorder to transfer film using a Workprinter or similiar method.

Does anyone know if the edge enhancement added by the camcorder's CCD(s), or is it added at the same time the video is being compressed and recorded to tape?

I noted that Roger Evans uses a 700+ line resolution camera in his transfers. With this scenario, would a DV tape of the transfers have the same level of edge enhancement as one made with a DV camcorder, or none at all?

Thanks,

Roget

I have a question which isn't exactly on the topic of this thread, but it doesn't really warrant a new topic, so I'll post it here.

I recently shot my first roll of super 8 (expecting it back from the lab tomorrow!), and I want to transfer it to video -- it doesn't have to be great quality, the footage isn't that important (more a test of the camera than anything else). I'm not going to edit this video into a movie or anything; I just want to have it on videotape for viewing.

My question is, what kind of results would I get from running the film through a projector and pointing a video camera at the screen? I have access to a Panasonic 3CCD DVcam. It has adjustable shutter speeds, so I should be able to get rid of most of the flicker. It also has manual white balance and color balance; everything is adjustable -- it's a pretty high end DVcam. I would tape the output from the camera using a broadcast quality SVHS deck. Does anyone know what kind of results this will give me? I don't have high expectations for it -- just something that is pleasing to watch and doesn't look too much like some guy pointed a camcorder at a movie screen.
