When converting super 8mm cine does this prevent the flickering or pulsating in the brightness of the movie image.

The flicker is caused by a difference between your projector's operating frame rate and the camera's recording frame rate. What you see as flicker is actually the dark between each projected film frame. Film projectors typically operate anywhere from 16 to 24 frames per second depending on the format. Most digital cameras capture at 60 frames per second with an increasing number offering 24 frames per second. To avoid or minimize flicker you should capture at the same frame rate as the projection or the closest clean multiple of it. Running a clean multiple would simply add extra frames to the recorded video stream which is fine. It just increases your file size. If your projector runs at 24 frames per second then you would want to record at either 24 frames per second, 48 frames per second, 72 frames per second, etc. Digital cameras that record at 60 frames per second would see a 12 frame per second difference between 72 frames per second. That is what you call flicker. If you can't set the recording frame rate of your camera then you might be able to reduce the flicker by manually setting the shutter speed of your camera. Slower speeds would allow the camera to average the exposure of the light and dark frames into a single frame. Try something between 1/30th and 1/50th. Most inexpensive point and shoot cameras do not allow this much manual control. Some do. You would probably need to use an advanced compact camera or DSLRs which are geared to those who look for more control of their devices. Be aware that digital cameras were not designed to run continuously like camcorders. The image sensors are bigger than what is inside a camcorder and these sensors can run hot. They will also draw more power so using an external power adapter for long transfers is advisable.

It does not but I did manage to find a lens for my projector that was able to stop the flickering.

I have not used it yet but it it only a mirror so it does not change the film in any way.

These types of devices do not in any way prevent flicker, not does any lens. To get rid of flicker, your camera settings must be set to the correct shutter speed. Most cameras do not allow you to control shutter speed.

But I would highly recommend this little thing. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004JJIBC2/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc;=1 a third of the price and well made with no flicker that I could see, either on my Nikon D7000 at 30FPS and a Sony which was shooting at 60FPS.

If I had to guess it's a handshaking issue with the player and the TV (and HDMI thing). When you stop viewing a movie and go to the disc list, there's a clear change in resolution and you occasionally see the screen flicker for a moment. That's the handshaking occurring. Do you have any devices between the TV and changer, like an HDMI switch or a AV receiver? If you do, those could all play a part in this. If you have different components between the changer and the TV, try powering them off for 10 seconds then back on when you experience the problem. If it corrects the issue, it's likely a handshaking issue and it may be as simple as trying a different brand of HDMI cable, something newer, though it could be more complicated where the other components are the problem and only replacing them in going to work. Sometimes adding a powered HDMI amplifier or switch can correct the problem too. There are lot of different things to that may work. Start with the cheapest solution first (different cable) then move up from there.

I made setting adjustments, updated the firmware and have since watched scenes with dark backgrounds and it seems to have gone away? Don't know why for sure but so far, so good. Thought the same. Perhaps it is a HDMI cable issue but was seeing it both on tv broadcasts as well as DVD so felt it must have been related to some sort of setting? Don't think both of my HDMI cables would have been bad! Thanks.

Bits are bits. The picture quality is going to be identical, as is the sound. My advice is to disable all of the picture & sound enhancement features as they tend to make things look worse; the best way to view and hear a movie is how the director, producer, sound mixer, and rest of the film crew intended it.

if you push this film you have to increase the development time as well proportionally to how much you push it. If you push it and develop it for the standard time all your images will come out dark. Look online for how much to increase development time for the specific number of stops you push it by (+1 stop would be ISO 800)

Have used it for 3 weeks seen no motion blur. In fact 60hz is preferred if you don't want that soap opera look that can be seen in the new Hobbit film.

No, it actually decrease it to something around 1.4 (on the blackmagic cinema camera it reduces from 2.36 to 1.53). Also you gain a full stop of light! i.e. A f/1.4 Nikon Full frame 50mm lens behaves like if it were a 35mm f/1.0 lens!!!

It does, however, it has to go to higher ISO which makes images a bit grainy. Not too bad though.

If this clip is indeed taken at 24 frames per second (typical cinema speed), have you tried shooting at 30 frames per second (typical television speed)? I think I am seeing flickering rather than focus issues. Look at the Image Quality/Size option on the Main Menu screen and select the Highest Quality FX setting and see if your image is better.

That would be a function of the camera, not the film. While there may be some model camera that does this, mine does not.

Yes only only noticble when you fist set it up you can't see them when the movie is on . and if you leave it on the frame for awhile they go away . be sure to fold it the same you take it out to avoid making new ones

It up scales hd connections. If you connect a non hd connection (vcr,dvd, etc) it won't be a 4k quality image. It'll look a bit better but there is a limit to it

well, it does have a flickering effect. I didnot try to see if that mode can be turned off. Its not that prominent though, I hope it helps.

I've used it on 35mm and 110 still film and it works great. I don;t know of a reaon why it should't work on Super 8.

I think it may be projector specific. This did work OK with my Super 8 projector, but my regular 8 mm projector would not focus at a close enough distance for the image to fit this screen.
