Talk:Movie projector

message: I noticed in the description of 16mm film under "Types of projectors" that it states "It is also the smallest format that can carry an optically encoded sound track." but in my recent research of 8mm film formats I have read several times about Optical sound on 8mm. This is my first time posting, so if I haven't given enough information or have posted in the wrong area, I apologize. :-) MrGneiss 10:10, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: You may very well be correct. From what I can tell from some quick research, it was not very common, and mainly existed only on professional 8mm prints blown-down from larger gauges (like feature films, for example). Girolamo Savonarola 21:58, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

message: Please expand the lead it's currently too short. I'm going to give the editors of this article time but if the lead isn't expanded I'm putting it up for review. A GA shouldn't have a two sentence lead. Quadzilla99 07:04, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually I just removed the GA class listing as it appears comeone just gave it a GA tag and it never actually went through the GA process. Quadzilla99 07:12, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: In adition it's not on the list of GA articles, under either the Technology or Film listings. Quadzilla99 07:15, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

message: Why is the sample widescreen image 1.96:1? Is this intended to be an example of VistaVision? Wouldn't a 2.39:1 example make more sense, especially with the accompanying anamorphic squeeze? Jhawkinson 11:48, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

message: In Audel's electrical handbook (1910?) the chapter on movie theaters starts off with a rant reminding readers that correct term is motion picture machine. Was this a one man's opinion or is there a place in the article for this historic note? I don't have the book anymore so have no accurate citation. Georget99 13:15, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Film projector, cine(ma) projector, motion-picture projector, sound projector all are very popular terminology for this matter. I think that movie projector is used for amateur equipment for years and American usage. Sound-on-film projector is very rare as well. --Erkan Umut 17:06, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

message: I cleaned up the 70mm section, primarily to make it agree with both historical and current practices, and the wiki page about 65/70mm. 
This whole movie  projector section is a bit woolly with some odd digressions. The 9.5 section is too long, and I think the 70mm section may be also. The persistence of vision explanation, which is long discredited as an explanation of the illusion of cinema motion is contradicted by the cited wiki section on persistence of vision, and the citations there. --StevenBradford 04:18, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

message: The article should also mention blade shutters, as two-blade shutters make visually flickerless 24fps projection possible (sound film speed), and three-blade shutters do the same for 16 and 18fps projections (silent film speed), by reducing the dark flicker to 48 Hz. --2003:71:4E07:BB09:FC3A:9551:4E36:AD36 (talk) 06:24, 25 November 2017 (UTC)
