I¹m not sure if this original email came through. I might have sent it to the wrong address for this group (I apologize if this has already been posted).
Lawrence I have a number of 16mm film prints that I would like to get transferred to digital format. I know that there has been much discussion on this and I¹ve gone back and read some of the postings but I haven¹t found a direct answer to what I would like to know. I would like to know what is the best quality transfer I should be looking for. I have a quote from ColorLab in Rockville, MD and another one from Metro Post. Metro Post is cheaper but it is not telecine (just says ³hi-def film scan²). So before I go any further I thought that I should ask for suggestions from all of the great people here. These are all finished films in good shape (unfortunately the original negatives and Mag sound were thrown out by WRS). I don¹t want to say that cost is no issue but if I am going to preserve these films I¹d rather end up with the best quality, even if I need to space it out over time due to cost. Also, one of the films runs at 18fps (sound is on separate tape). Is this an issue? I really appreciate any suggestions or feedback. Thanks! Lawrence Brose
