We DO NOT use Frame-by-Frame Transfer
Two of the worst methods of converting cine film to DVD are “Frame by Frame” and “Projector and Camera” both are very similar in their process. Frame by Frame, due to the process is harmful to your cine films. Each frame is projected and a photograph, hopefully digital, is taken. Each photo is than linked together in a chain and the frame rate is adjusted by doubling some of the frames. They are doubled because film is around 18fps (frames per second) and TV is 25 fps, this is why many films flicker and the "doubled" ones don't look natural.
If a projector bulb is used your films can become burnt from the heat. It only takes a few seconds from a hot bulb it irreparably damage your cine films. Projector & Camera is very similar, except your cine is projected onto a wall and recorded with a video camera. The results are awful, washy, blurred, dark and skewed. |
