WATCH OUT FOR POOR IMITATORS!
- There's a major difference in the quality of film transfers. Poor imitators project the film using a projector or telecine onto a wall, mirror, screen, or directly to a video camera and then film it with just a standard camcorder.
- Transferring it this way is very poor in quality. Your special memories deserve better. Their methods will lowers the quality of your finished product, resulting in poor color, poor contrast and poor detail. It also introduces unnecessary flicker.
- Many unscrupulous film transfer houses are claiming they are scanning or transferring frame by frame when in fact they are just using a telecine projector to project and refilm it.
