so just out of curiosity.... do *most* people who shoot super 8 now-a-days use external audio recording solutions, or just do silent films now? like an amateur enthusiast. what is the general use for super 8 now, for amateur enthusiast if there is no audio film? just asking, i can easily record audio externally.... but i was just wondering...

the battery compartment was empty, and its very clean inside.... lens needs a good scrubbing it has dirt, mud, and such on it.... but everything else looks fairly clean.... the only thing i'm wondering... i found this over at kodak, but it doesnt say anything about audio.... is the strictly video recording, and would need an external source for audio recording (digital recorder, computer, tape deck, etc)? IS there any film still being made for 8mm in the 15-20 range that records audio? (ps, i'm in america)

so my inlaws were cleaning out their storage unit and found this in a camera bag with all the accessories. it has a cartridge of film still in it, kodak Ektachrome E160 Sound. have no idea if it is used or not. so my quetsion is, i have no projector so i can't even test anything.... but can i removed the cartridge? will it get exposed? further more, what type of film can i get if i did decide to do anything work anything? obviously i want film that records audio as well.... but all the film i keep seeing at B&H is silent and such.... and none of that even matched the 160. i have no idea where to go so i guess any assitance would be great. (i mainly work in DV, digital, and tape.... film is osmething i have never worked with.... or never thought it would work with.)
