Double super 8mm has smaller differently shaped perfs so that alone would cause it not to run through the camera smoothly (if at all). You can check by putting a piece of your double 8mm over 16mm and see where the perfs line up. oliver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you have changed the size of the loops? It is easy to thread one sprocket at a half frame position when you have twice the number of perfs.
