Kevin,
Without the use of a "telecine" machine, I've made a number of transfers with a
DVX-100Bby simply projecting onto a wall. I've usually been pretty happy with
the results, but then again, the slight flicker doesn't bother me. The bigger
issue seems to be getting the color balance correct.
I assume if you were setting up a homemade telecine complete with lens bellows
or a prism+ground glass setup, you could do a little better, but it might not
be worth it. Personally, I've had super 8 transfers ranging from $5-$45 / roll,
and the results were not that much better for my purposes...of course, I prefer
to project the original, and use the transfers for editing and preview copies.
You can look at the results, albeit with multiple passes of compression to get
them uploaded, here: http://vimeo.com/22617530
Email me off list if you'd like me to forward the step-by-step instructions for
the process that I surely have somewhere in my sent box.

Subject: [Frameworks] DIY Super 8 telecine
Hi all
I purchased a eumig 610D duel film projector ages ago in the hope of making my
own telecine machine. I have a Panasonic DVX100B camcorder for SD and a Canon
550D for HD I could could capture to. I've been meaning to start faffing about
with this project for over a year now but haven't got around to it. Any ideas
on the quality of images I could produce with the devices I have available? How
could I get this to work... etc..?
Kind Regards
Kevin
