Thought Frameworkers might find the DIY Telecine detailed at the website
below a practical distraction from the present character of much
material on the list. I don't share the opinions of Dr. L E.

Subject: [AMIA-L] Build your own DIY telecine!

Do you have a boring weekend in prospect? And a spare flatbed scanner
you
don't mind ripping to bits? And are you fed up with paying through the
nose for getting those small gauge elements transferred at posh London
(or
even New York) facilities houses?

Well then, help is at hand! Consign your Rank to the rubbish and your
Spirit to the skip - and just think of all that floor space you could
free
up! Instructions for building your very own telecine can be found
here...

Talk about using a sledgehammer to crack a nut! I don't doubt that the
thing works, but I think that even if I were inclined to experiment
along
these lines I'm sure I'd have given up and sent my movie to the pros
long
before it got to the stage of writing special software...

Cheers
