- Regarding...
-
- >My brother and I used the method (1) that you proposed [recording off of
- >the movie screen]. It worked very very well.
-
- My question is this:
-
- In trying this procedure myself over the weekend, I ended up with a lot of flicker
- on the video copy of the movie. I single-stepped the video copy in the VCR and
- noticed that the frames alternated a little lighter and darker. I'm wondering if
- this fluctuation is due to the auto-exposure system in the camcorder responding
- to the "movie" flicker action of the projector? (Unfortunately there is no manual
- exposure on my RCA CC507 camcorder).
-
- I did have the movie projector about three feet from the screen and the camcorder
- about two feet from the screen. Would the flicker be reduced if I projected the film
- maybe 20 feet to the screen and captured the image on the camcorder from there.
-
- Any help would be greatly appreciated.
-
- Jim
