Jim Feldspar Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 I want a Super 8 projector for viewing footage once or twice and determining what to transfer to Mini-DV for editing. The Moviedeck is easy to use and I like it. I mentioned to a friend "but the film has so much contact with plastic" and he said "as opposed to metal?" What wears the film more, do you think, metal rollers on other projectors or the plastic surfaces of the Moviedeck? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Crane Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 I would advise you get a viewer instead. It will allow you to view your dailies and edit with minimal dirt and scratching. The Elmo Dual 912 Viewer is a good choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the specific recommendation. Just out of curiosity though, all those families who watched their home movies again and again; do ypu think that was an erosive process to have their films sliding over plastic or metal like that, or is that the important emulsion side doesn't touch?
