    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Allie's home made camera mount

Love it, Rick! Do you still have the film you took? That would be fun to see!

Regards,

Yeah, I shot about 250 feet of film when it came in those 50 foot cartriges. So,..about 6 to 7 min of film with no sound other than the rattle of the projector.
Funny tho...I took it to a bike club meeting after I watched it a few times...it was funny to watch the 30 odd peoples heads in the audience leaning left and right in unison. :p
But how the h*** could I save that to my computer?

LOL! You actually would have to take it to a videographer or photo shop to have it converted to a DVD, etc. It's probably not worth whatever it would cost to do so, but it IS possible.

A lower tech solution would simply be to set up the old projector and then videotape it with your camcorder sitting on a tripod. You'd lose a little quality, but probably not too much, considering the original footage. Good for a chuckle, though!

Hmmmmm..........I *do* have one of those gadgets that you can record onto a VHS camera from a movie projector.....

Well, if you get it on to a VHS tape it's an easy conversion to DVD if you know somebody who has a combo unit (VHS / DVD recorder). I have one, and would be happy to do the transfer for you, but the postage from CA to the US might be a little ridiculous for five minutes of video...

Another possibility is that you find somebody with a composite video to USB converter, that would let you take the VHS footage and feed it right in to your computer. I also have one (maybe two) of those, and if you want to buy my extra one (never used) we can work something out. I don't need it because I can feed composite video right to my combo unit and then digitize the resulting DVD directly to the computer.

PM me if you have any serious interest...

Hmm, all greek to me I'm afraid. The video camera I have is that GoPro Hero you saw on my caseguard.
Whats one of those converter thingys worth? Maybe Bestbuy or Future Shop here would have it.
I was thinking just set up the projector and that converter box thing and film it with my GoPro.

For sure you should check out the local stores ... let them know what you have and they should be able to tell you the cheapest way to get the job done.
