i have managed to record a few super 8 titles onto video the results weren't to bad, i found it better to slow the shutter speed on the camcorer to its lowest setting this cuts out a lot of the flickering, i converted these to dvd, to cut down on the colour bleeding i used a cheap video enhancer with a colour saturation control just turn the colour down and tranfer your video to dvd its cheap and works quite well, if i were you i'd only do my favourites as it is time consuming and its gonna take you along time to do 300 films whatever method you use.regards steve
