"Full original quality" is kind of a joke, because
super-8mm Kodachrome was extremely fuzzy compared
with broadcast quality, which is what people like
your hubby are editing these days on their home
computers running Final Cut Pro on a high powered
Mac. Once, we attempted to enlarge a frame from
MIV for the poster, and it was amazingly out of
focus looking. Multiple frames projected at
speed, however, make it look much better. Some
people are doing tricks with scanning in film,
then processing out the grain and sharpening it
beyond what you'd be able to get optically.
Nobody's done that with super-8 as far as I know,
but super-8 should transfer nicely to video if
it's done right.
