[MacDV] Re: Old film --> digital video --> iMovie

[ShirleyK]

One of our user-group members used BTV Pro to change the capture speed 
of his web cam. Had he used the correct speed for his film, it might 
have been completely flicker free. He was off by 2 fps I believe, but 
it was still nearly flicker free. His video wasn't as sharp because of 
the cheap web cam however.

Here is how to get to his PDF and some photos of his setup:

Select PIE SIG Handouts, then David's Film to DV Notes
