Hi gang,
Yes, MIV is a bear to show, but rewarding. I've been
reading through the past posts (finally!) on this thread
after signing up the other day, and creating a DVD version
of all our films is long overdue.
It's true, Murder in Vein has a separate soundtrack,
mainly because our attempt at attaching a magnetic
stripe to the original silent film was a dismal failure.
It partially peeled off, and the sound quality was in the
toilet. Granted, it *is* the soundtrack we used for the
Barnum Hall showing, but it pales in comparison to the
high quality separate version. We show it with the
oscilloscope Susan mentioned, because it's the only means
we have to synchronize the audio and film.
Another quirk is it's actually 18fps, which might actually
make the transfer to video (60 fields per second) smoother,
provided the frame boundaries lined up correctly. I couldn't
determine from from the
http://www.videographics.net web site
whether they correctly synchronize the film and video to
prevent visible 'tearing' between frames, and I'm also
concerned about scratch removal, since MIV is has some pretty
bad spots.
It would be great to convert all the films to .avi format
so they could be cleaned up, have the splices fixed, and
finally put in a form people could view at the full original
quality.
