<VV> Corvair Video to DVD Project

[Bill Hubbell]

I agree with Tony about the best way to capture original Film.  In fact, I
have just recently paid a fairly large sum of money to have approximately 4
hours of my own home movies (Super-8) directly transferred to digital.  The
process involved a Frame-by-frame capture with software duplication of
frames to adjust for the difference in frame rate between Super-8 (18fps)
and video (30 fps).  the process produces fairly acceptable digital quality,
but is not perfect, and is very expensive.  Just in case anybody is
interested, here is a link to the company I used (pricing is available on
their web site):

I think their process would be cost-prohibitive for one person (even myself)
to consider for all the Corvair Movies and Filmstrips, even if the originals
or good copies can be located.  Plus, there might be fees to pay for
copyright issues, etc.  However, I am willing to pursue the issue if enough
interest exists.  Also, if I am elected to the CORSA BOD, I will make it a
point to bring the issue up within CORSA.
