what? why did you loose so much detail due to telecine? Nice comparison, but I'm a bit worried if you loose that much detail if you transfer it. Did Yale screw up or what's the deal?
Actually, on the original transfer to video cassette, there is a TON more detail. When I transferred that onto my computer and compressed it for YouTube, the detail was lost in the really bright and dark areas.
I, too, would like to say thanks for providing this valuable comparison with these film stocks. The Tri-X shots had me ready to see a full-length movie, love the look and feel of this stock. I had no idea the Canon 512-XL could kick ass like this, showing it's not just all about the 814- and 1014-XL and XLS models. Thanks again!
is this a diy transfer? it looks better then lots of commercial transfers!

If you got a better transfer...you would see a huge difference!
I can see the video range is very poor...the whites blow out...and I bet there is some detail thats going away..

Brilliant! There are no words to express the emotions that Tri-X conveys.
Just wondering if you did this all on auto exposure with the camera's internal metering system. It would be a big help to know that. Thanks!

Okay...were they processed as positives or negatives?

Both are reversal films, so you get a positive image you can project without having to make a film print, or flip it in telecine.

@IMPXANDER They were processed as reversals.

Interesting comparison.
Check out my Super 8mm film, I shot it on Plus-X and the ending is in Ektachrome 64T.
I shot the film on a Minolta D12

do the highlights always look that blown out, or is it just the transfer, or exposure issues?
