There should be a link to JFK in the article. I mean Zapruder's is the most famous 8mm footage ever. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.131.210.162 ( talk) 16:52, 19 February 2007 (UTC).
````I am requesting that all the 8mm external links please be put back. thanks in advance. ````
In regard to Zapruder, such link would be inappropriate to this article, which is about the nature and definition of the film format. In other words, Zapruder is irrelevant to this material. — Preceding unsigned comment added by PastReflections ( talk • contribs) 21:14, 22 September 2019 (UTC)
How do you convert 8mm film into digital video to use on your computer to upload to a website or to make a dvd with the video? i think we should add the how to to this article as well —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pauldonald86 ( talk • contribs) 06:26, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
I thought the same thing when I read the article. The term of transferring film to video is called "telecine." This ought to be included in the article along with a link the wiki on telecine http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telecine. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.122.107.29 ( talk) 04:30, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
If we think in digital terms, what is the maximum physical resolution of a high-quality Super8 color or b/w negative film frame? 320x240 pixel or maybe 512x384? I guess if you scan at too large resolution, like 2048x1536 you only get "empty" zoom, but no more details revealed. I heard 35mm ISO-100 color photo negative film stock has about 300dpi max. resolution due to limits imposed by silver-iodide grain size. 91.83.0.204 ( talk) 18:06, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

some mention of double super 8 is warranted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.32.157.242 ( talk) 17:03, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to one external link on
8 mm film. Please take a moment to review
my edit. You may add {{
cbignore}}
after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{
nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}}
to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:
When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at {{
Sourcecheck}}
).
An editor has reviewed this edit and fixed any errors that were found.

A cutscene from the game used an excerpt from the article, fyi. Can anyone bring this to the attention of those in the WP:VG and Film wikiprojects? I don't own the game yet, but apparently this has been copy-pasted without attribution based on what was listed on MobyGames. Thought someone might notify IOI about it to rectify things as this is a licensing violation. Blake Gripling ( talk) 13:33, 4 January 2019 (UTC)
"Sound to picture separation" & "image-sound separation" are both mentioned in this article, as well as in related articles, but it is never explained, and pasting the phrases into Google does not quickly yield an explanation. Is there an existing article or external reference which discusses it that could be linked to? If not, then it needs to be explained here. DKEdwards ( talk) 05:25, 5 August 2019 (UTC)
The description incorrectly implies that standard-8 and double-8 are different. Double-8 is standard-8 is regular 8: all the same. Standard-8 begins as a 16mm-wide film, with sprocketing slightly different from 16mm. After it has been run through the camera twice to expose both sides of the roll, it is sliced lengthwise and the two ends spliced together to make a strip of 8mm film twice as long as original the camera roll. The author may have been thinking of single-8 as the alternative. The format is the same, but it went through the camera as a single 8mm-width of film. Most single-8 cameras were unsuccessful, but the very inexpensive 8mm Univex line was highly popular and accounted for the great majority of the sales of single-8 film for a number of years. Bell & Howell and Revere both produced single-8 cameras but neither sold well so both are very hard to find now. PastReflections ( talk) 21:14, 22 September 2019 (UTC)
As far as I know, most Super-8 projectors will also projects Standard-8. Maybe a switch to change the pull-down sprocket setting. Or is it not most? In any case, ones that do need to be able to accept both kinds of reels. Gah4 ( talk) 00:19, 22 February 2022 (UTC)
Traditionally, 8mm films were Type A tungsten balanced for, I believe 3400K photofloods. In daylight, there was an orange filter to correct for daylight balance. The allowed for more sensitivity in the dimmer artificial light, though that might have been less common. Should the article mention this? Gah4 ( talk) 22:04, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
