I've been shotting a lot of super 8, this is a newfound love for me. a
local lab in richmond, va is willing to give student discounts to develop
and process the film. my question is, and i'm sorry to ask something so
general, but what's a cheap easy way to transfer super 8 film to either an
online format, or to a dvd/vcd format? any responses or recommendations
are greatly appreciated.

At silent speed (18 fps) it's about 3 1/2 minutes. At sound speed (24 fps)
it's more like two and a half. Super-8 has 72 frames per foot; 50 feet is 3600
frames.

the cheapeast way is to project your film onto a screen or smooth white
surface and record it with your camcorder or through your camcorder onto
your computer into whatever app you use..

its not hi-tech but it works...

there are also those boxes you can buy at like Best Buy for around $50.00
where you point the projector into one side and the camcorder into the
other...does the same thing..ive never used one so i cant tell you the
quality..

i can say that i have a bunch of old b&w movies that i did this
with...projected theyre a bit yellowed, but my camcorder color corrected
them into a sharp b&w...it worked nicely for me..:)
