We would like to >convert all of our old Super 8 films to VHS format. Can this be done? Yes. Check with your local 'Video Station" (if you have one), or other video dealer. Sometimes even the local photo dealer can get the films transferred. One question you will have to ask is how they do it. What I mean here is do they just project the image into a camera or do they use a special projector that is synced to the video's vertical sync? If they don't sync the projector to the video, you will get the awful flicker that occurs when they are out of sync. Be sure to check on that. -- Mr. Video {seismo!uwvax!|!decvax|!ihnp4}!nicmad!brown
