I believe I read a series of posts about this years ago, but I haven't heard about it in the longest time.
As we all (mostly) know, super 8 sound was marketed with both one stripe (just mono potential) and the more customary two stripes (main stripe and balance stripe) ...
... but from what I have heard, it is far more beneficial to have super 8 with the two stripe process, even with a mono soundtrack as, from what I understand, a super 8 print with just a main stripe and no balance stripe, may go through the film gate in an awkward manner and therefore not allow for a decent projection?
Your thoughts, folks?
