OK, not in the most user friendly format, but one copy at least is out there?

WHO HAS THE 16MM PROJECTOR TO PLAY THIS, LOL. TRY TO CONVERT TO WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER OR QUICKTIME. SOUNDS LIKE ALOT OF TROUBLE FOR ONE LITTLE CLIP.

Brother, you have no idea......

Come to think of it, if they're pawning off the film, it probably means that they've had it transferred, and will appear in the Something Weird catalog soon.

But all they same, I think I will try to purchase it (please don't bid against me!). Then, if it doesn't appear for purchase on DVD, I will get it transferred.

He really doesn't, does he?

Just to make certain I wore out their website making sure they don't have it out there yet. Nothing.

I thought you'd say that. 8-)
It's a dirty job but I got to do it for over 20 years. Thank you.

Just out of curiosity, how do you convert 16mm film to digital? I'm guessing you'd actually have to take a digital photograph of every frame or something?

In a way that's kind of what happens. Basically the movie is projected into a video camera or scanner and recoreded on some sort of digital media. Places to do such work professionally are as common as doughnut shops where Dave lives. 8-)
