Thanks Michael,
Most of the patience was with my wife: at the start of my second cartridge she decided she wanted us to leave! I said "I'm making a film here!" She said "Can't you make it a shorter film?" We compromised: I finished my film and I took her for lobster before we went home! (Not a bad compromise: I love lobster!)
The only tricky part of the transfer was completely eliminating the flicker.
The projector I used is just an ordinary 800 series Eumig pretending it's a "Bolex". The continuously variable projection speed allowed me to fine tune the speed until the flicker went away.
I finished up the transfer around 11:00PM, put away all the stuff, went upstairs and plugged my camcorder into a monitor and ran the tape. There was a very, very slow flicker, maybe 10 seconds from dark to dark. I thought "Nobody will notice.”. Then I thought "I noticed.”. So I went back downstairs, set it all up again and re-did it!
-at 1:00AM, I was finally happy with it and went to bed!
Every transfer I've done since then I started at a saner hour and left the stuff set up until I was happy with the results.
(Still less stressfull than shooting titles!)
-------------------- All I ask is a wide screen and a projector to light her by...
