Dont use a sony minidisc, those you cant dump the audio on the computer, or you can but its not easy.

How bout archieving digital movies on 70mm film? Or is it not possible to produce good negatives out of digital information?

You only lose a couple of frames (10-15 ive heard), when you take the cartridge in the middle of the roll. In other words its not that horrible of a loss.

Which makes it more interesting to own

I cant help to think that a lot of the 8mm footage people shot of Hitler, was shot on this camera...

Muckymuck, thanks for that link, i thought all hope was lost! It seems right as it does say 1x8mm, but ill have to try it before Ill believe it. here are some picture of the camera, my one is however in better shape than this one + I have the original leather case for it. http://www.kameramuseum.de/...

John gave me and many others great advice, for that I'll always remember him.

Thank you all for your help, but it seems as though I wont find any film... You see my camera takes 8mm wide film, not the 16mm wide that goes through the camera twice, hence the name double 8. Acording to wikipedia, this format is called straight 8 invented by Bell & howell in 1935.

I'm thinking about trying my Agfa standard 8mm camera from the 30s, however its seems to be impossible to find filmstock for it.

You'll spend hours there

Work will teach a child more about him/herself than sitting in a classroom ever will. This is proven. By whom may I ask? so you actually learned something about yourself in school? my friends who started working instead of going to high school already owned homes and had families at 20, which is so...

I still do not like the new versions of the original Star Wars films...but oddly Lucas reckons that there's no films from which to make a remastered DVD of the original versions...so he's just a liar. It was shot in the late 70s correct? Well I saw this interview with scorsese about a Taxi Driver s...
