Hi all,

As you might have read in another topic before, I created my own Telecine machine. Now I run into a problem I need a little help with: how to clean old movies. I've read you can use perchlorethylene to clean but it's very toxic and hard to obtain. Can someone give me a hint what to use ...

And I only started this topic to share my DIY Telecine machine with you, until someone started to turn the topic into a discussion fed by his frustration.

... I was thinking of setting up a slower system using my ...

Hi all,

And the results are nice, too - is that you in the B&W clip?

In fact the results are even better when you see them on a TV screen. In the color sample you can see the brightness is fluctuating. That's due to the camera I think, because it's also ...

Hi all,

Triggered by the Telecine project of Freddy van der Putte I started my own Telecine project. Using an old Eumig Mark 8 projector and a webcam I set off. It turned out very nice I might say. Although the website is not entirly ready yet, you can have a look at http://www.movie2video.com ...
