Dear All:
I have lots of experience with audio but less with video. I am soon to
have in my possession a 16 mm reel of film of an important musical
performance (audio and video). I am wondering what is the best way to
transfer this to DVD, both audio and video. Ordinarily, for something not
so special, I would just show the film with a projector against a wall and
reshoot it with a video camera. But I am sure there are much better ways
of doing this, to get the optimal picture quality. And for the audio on
the film, I am assuming that getting the audio feed from the film projector
would be the best bet. Movie folks have to deal with this issue every day
to transfer films to DVD. Does anybody know what they do and what kind of
equipment they use? I'm sure it goes onto a computer for working it over,
but how do they digitize the picture?
Thanks,
John Haley
