I just went back and read the first 20 pages of this thread. What a trip down memory lane. I had forgotten so much of what transpired - shipping that gate back to Texas, fiddling with those AviSynth scripts, all the steps to get the DVD players to properly resize the image. And so many people involved helping it all come together.
Also, I had forgotten that my original plan was to do the cartridge scans next, but got “sidetracked” by PSB and ROTP. So I STILL haven’t done “Puggo’s Puppies” yet. Reading this thread has inspired me to get started on that. The shocking irony is that my current scanner is HD, so while Star Wars in 16mm got an SD scan, the really rough 8mm cartridges will get an HD treatment. Ha!
Do you think you might scan the 16mm’s in HD also? That would be great.
