Hi Jim,
Just to confirm that this information has been very useful.
I have done analysis on both 16mm cine and S-VHS video film formats.
With cine film running at 100 fps we used a projector to project the
images frame-by-frame to the back of a frosted-glass wire-grid
digitising board. With the S-VHS video, we could stop-frame it using
a time-lapse S-VHS VCR. The problem we found with high-speed cine was
that there had to be a strong light source, otherwise the images were
too dim to be very useful. S-VHS was much better, but the frame-speed
is limited unless you buy an expensive system like the Kodak 1000 fps
system which retails at about $200 000.
Yours,
