- There are two things wrong with this statement: 1) home 8mm movies are 18 fps.
- Even home 16mm is 18 fps. 2) the transfer method mentioned should be video
- fields, not frames. It takes professional equipment to transfer/edit on field
- boundaries.
-
- Even if you had home movies on 16mm at 24 fps, you still couldn't transfer
- using the 3-2 pulldown, since you can't edit fields.

- <Are there any better ways of doing this? Thanks.

- Ya, have it done professionally with equipment that will transfer the film
- correctly.
