For those interested in movies (opposed to video) under Cinelerra
For about 18 months I have been back to super 8 mm.
Cinelerra has proved extremely good for this purpose. I do transfer the
frames one at a time with a 422 8 bits industrial camera.
I am getting my frames in 1400x1200 pixels progressive frame in 422 YUV
8 bits colorspace. 
A fast conversion in quicktime allows me to import the lot and then it
is a matter of gamma and color correction. 
Hard drives are then becoming consumables (50 to 60 GB for 20 minutes),
but details and colors are from another world.

If you want some examples, you can watch (self promotion, sorry) some on
you tube, my nickname is Dr Doud.
Mostly off road motorbikes, some shots in the 60s here in NZ, others
shot 6 months ago here in NZ as well.

Enjoy
Edouard
