stills to video
at it. Note crossposts... A little background. Tons of my Dads 8mm film (no sound). I have a projector and a video capture device that captures *each* frame so I have directories filled with bitmaps of each image. Capture device is a generic USB from CompUSA, software is Video Studio 7 SE Basic. (magnet and reed switch on Reveal 85 projector trips once per frame and that connects to a serial mouse left mouse button hovered over "capture image", works fine... setup a little funky) So... I need to convert these images (originally designed for 18 frames/sec) to something that can be played on a DVD. Speed does not have to be perfectly corrected. Suggested Software? Suggested DVD or CD format? I'd like to limit software costs (ie, don't want to buy full version of Premiere). Also, what would be nice would be a video capture device that can capture in B&W and with horizontal reversed. No biggie as I can just add this to the batch image processing I'm doing. Cheers, Jeff

BTW what device picks up the projected image? This sounds like just the device I'm looking for - heaps of old 8mm segments of my late mother who was in show biz, would be nice to transfer the lot. I've had to run the stuff after splicing it into junk footage, project it onto a small silver screen and pick up with a video camera. Netmask wrote:

I've had old versions of Video Studio and they seemed pretty good. This version lacks the chops though. Somewhere (not here) I have versions 1, 2 and I think 5. One of the early versions came with tons of "clip art" jpegs including a hand colored image of two dogs screwing. I guess back then they threw in everything! > BTW what device picks up the projected image?

Drove me a little crazy looking for rear projection screens and had several failed attempts. I have a canon A95 still camera. Like most pocket cameras this has a video out jack. There's some caveats...Using manual focus on this leaves a "MF" symbol on the screen (ditto Macro) so I have this on Program mode and have backed up the camera a bit. Not satisfied with this yet... On the Reveal 85 Projector (mine was $40) there's as knob on the front (rotates once per frame) that I attached a magnet and this passes by a $5 Radio Shack window alarm switch. > Don't you have a syncing problem.

Also, Studio 9 just happens to be the program that I use for editing/authoring DVD's. Most of the other editing programs probably will do what you want also. Bill S.
