MAKING SLIDES FROM VCR VIDEO TAPE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

To All:

During an exchange of letters concerning the MUFON Updated Slide Set, State Section Director George Reynolds, Elkton, MD [who is also active on the MUFON-Ham Net] offered the following information concerning his experiences on making slides from VCR tapes.

Listed below are his findings:

I made some slides from a VCR tape, first time set camera up on a tripod, used Ektachrome - ASA 100 - shutter speed f/8, time (I used three exposures to be sure) 1 second, 1/2 second, 1/4 second. The outcome was;

1 second: is great!
1/2 second: good
1/4 second: usuable

I stopped the VCR on the picture I wanted [VCR is a 4-head unit]. On one picture it would not sinc properly, so I stepped down to f/5.6, time 1 second, with the VCR running, and obtained a good picture.

Among the slides I made were from "E.T. Wants To Go Home" with E.T. touching boy's nose-got beautiful shot on slide on this.

Thought I would pass this information to you.

Best Wishes,
George Reynolds
State Section Director - Elkton, MD
