Hi,



I have a super8/8mm projector at home. I also have several movies to
transfer to DVD. I could simply use the projector with a screen that I could
record with my digital camera (it can do 648x480 at 30 FPS).



Instead, I was thinking about projecting the movie from the projector
directly to the digital camera by placing them face to face. I would of
course replace the projector lamp since it is probably too powerful for the
digital camera. I had this idea by looking through the projector lens and
noticing that I could see sharply the picture (I was using a very weak
lamp).



But here is the problem: if I try to record the picture by filming directly
through the projector lens the digital camera simply cannot zoom enough to
see the whole picture. I tried all combination of projector zooming/camera
zooming but there is nothing to do: I need a stronger zoom.



So how could I setup this to be able to film directly the film image? Has
anyone done this yet?



Thank you,



Sylvain

When I look through the lens, I also see the spot you are talking about. To
avoid this, I put a piece of white paper between the lamp and the film and
the light is much more even..



Where did you bought the optical mirror and lens boxes?



My camera can record about 15 minutes of video. I intend to transfer around
10 8mm movies (about 15 minutes each).
