message: There should be a link to JFK in the article. I mean Zapruder's is the most famous 8mm footage ever. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.131.210.162 (talk) 16:52, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  8mm film into digital 

message: If we think in digital terms, what is the maximum physical resolution of a high-quality Super8 color or b/w negative film frame? 320x240 pixel or maybe 512x384? I guess if you scan at too large resolution, like 2048x1536 you only get "empty" zoom, but no more details revealed. I heard 35mm ISO-100 color photo negative film stock has about 300dpi max. resolution due to limits imposed by silver-iodide grain size. 91.83.0.204 (talk) 18:06, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

message: Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to  on 8 mm film. Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add  after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add  to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:

message: A cutscene from the game used an excerpt from the article, fyi. Can anyone bring this to the attention of those in the WP:VG and Film wikiprojects? I don't own the game yet, but apparently this has been copy-pasted without attribution based on what was listed on MobyGames. Thought someone might notify IOI about it to rectify things as this is a licensing violation. Blake Gripling (talk) 13:33, 4 January 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: I did notify David Bateson about the issue on his Facebook fan page though. He says he'll talk with the writers about it though idk if anything has been done. Blake Gripling (talk) 02:49, 21 October 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Article excerpt mention in ''[[Hitman 2 (2018 video game)|Hitman 2]]'' 

message: The description incorrectly implies that standard-8 and double-8 are different.  Double-8 is standard-8 is regular 8: all the same.  Standard-8 begins as a 16mm-wide film, with sprocketing slightly different from 16mm.  After it has been run through the camera twice to expose both sides of the roll, it is sliced lengthwise and the two ends spliced together to make a strip of 8mm film twice as long as original the camera roll.  The author may have been thinking of single-8 as the alternative.  The format is the same, but it went through the camera as a single 8mm-width of film.  Most single-8 cameras were unsuccessful, but the very inexpensive 8mm Univex line was highly popular and accounted for the great majority of the sales of single-8 film for a number of years.  Bell & Howell and Revere both produced single-8 cameras but neither sold well so both are very hard to find now.  PastReflections (talk) 21:14, 22 September 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: I have combined the Standard and Double 8 sections. There is more detail at Standard 8 mm film. Someone had edited that page to say these are not the same thing. We don't have many source citations, but the few we do have verify that these are the same thing. GA-RT-22 (talk) 19:56, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
