[AV Media Matters] Digitizing Film

[robmac@spartan.ac.BrockU.CA]

Greetings,

I had a question concerning the digitization 16 and 35mm film from a
faculty member. They are currently researching a rather large project
involving digital preservation and archiving of numerous media, of which 16
and 35mm is only a part. I only have experience with transferring film to
anaologue through a telecine chamber which I see no problem substituting a
digital capture source for but was wondering with the sophistication of
digital technologies might there be a prefered method. He was interested
not only in the technology but also cost. Of course I don't expect anyone
to do any research in this area but where you might be able to ballpark it
would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you
