A few weeks ago, we ran into a few 16mm films of the Padua Players down in the depths of the Pomona Library. In order to help preserve the information/images, we used a film projector and captured the results onto a digital camcorder. After a day of filming, downloading, and compressing them to .mov files on a computer, we found that the videos had already been transferred to VHS. Thus the following week, we hooked up a VCR to the video-capture box and recorded directly on a mac. Not only was that method more convenient, it provided better quality video as well.

That said, I decided to rescue the lesser-quality cam footage and share the entire digitization experience.

…as only an older brother can deliver.
