You need a

Projector pointing at a

Screen looked at by a

Video camera (with firewire output).

Disengaging flippant mode, there is no 'magic box' where you can put film in one side and have digital video come out of the other.

Oh but there is, it's called a telecine. Put the film on the telecine, grade the pictures, and play digital video out to any tape format you wish, or even a dvd recorder directly.

You don't say what type of cine film you have; 8mm, 16mm, 35mm etc.

Telecine transfers are a specialist and expensive (though very high quality) solution and are the way movies are transferred to video.

However very acceptable results can be obtained by filming off the wall as in Ray's suggestion above.

Im sure regular contributer to these forums, Tom Hardwick will be along soon with some more detailed advice on how to go about it. He did some Super8 transferrs for me about a year ago that were excellent
