Hi Jeroen,

it is a little bit difficult to re-record prints of 16mm films.

The first question is, has your print a magnetic sound stripe (like the super 8 films)??? If so, than someone can re-record it in english.

But in most cases all 16mm prints have an optical soundtrack, so it is impossible to re-record it. [Frown]

I wonder if it was recorded with optical sound weather anybody could stripe it as long as he had a opt/mag projector. I would think that finding someone these day's that could possibly stripe 16mm will be very hard.

IF it can be done at all, I think Andec would be about your only choice. They work with many gauges of film, they do recordings, they do striping.

Ralf, if you speak with Uwe Brengel in the next few days, please let him know I have some new stuff coming from the lab that he will be interested in, in 16mm.

If the print would need a magnetic stripe - and Andec can do it - the cost would be frighteningly high for a 16mm feature!

Actually, I'd also be interested in anyone than can handle 16mm recording because I have a Scopitone film that's a great print but has dreadful sound. If anyone could do the job, I could get a CD with the song.

Wayne,

yes I have a telephone call with Uwe Brengel in the next days. I will tell him about the stuff of 16mm films.

Nice to hear this, because I'm also have a few of this shorts like the butcher [Wink]

Uwe ordered the prints for me with his own order.
