When I looked into doing this myself using a DSLR some time ago, one of
my findings was that you'd chew through camera bodies at an alarming
rate if you attempted to fire shutter on each frame. Perhaps one of
the Canons or upcoming Nikons that can shoot HD video?<br>

type="cite">can't recall the exact search params (it may be a Linux
journal article), but I saw a linux-based rig that used a epson
scanner, some motors and a fair amount of cpu horsepower to pull film
through a custom bracket on the scanner, scan in the strip (5+ frames
at a time), use the holes in the strip to key in on the frames, isolate
the frames digitally, generate a sequence of video frames and then
stitch it all together as a mpeg.<br>

Ah ha! Check this:<br>

effectively what is done. The mechanisms for doing this will depend on
the time and expense, but that's pretty much the only way to get analog
to digital.

<div>I believe high end restoration folks do something fancier
where they take individual frames, "photograph" them then stitch those
frames together to make a movie and put it on DVD, but that's a lot
more effort intensive and requires some much more expensive equipment.

I've got, probably 100+ old 8mm film of my Dad's I would like to<br>
convert. Most of the companies I've contacted ship them off to do this.<br>
I'm a bit uneasy with that.<br>
<br>
Question is, can I do this myself? That is, do they simply run the film<br>
through a projector then video tape it with a camera? I don't see any<br>
other way.<br>
<br>
Input?<br>
