Interesting.
It does seem like a lot of trouble to go to, though.
Anyway, thanks for your replies, Dan.

This is something which intrigues me. I notice on another forum, somebody selling prints with stripe but no actual track. So: 1) Why are these prints made mute in the first place? 2) Who releases them? 3) How does one actually go about recording a track? Sounds like waaaayyyy too much trouble to me. Wouldn't it be a lot easier to just buy a print with the track already on? |

What kind of films are they? Super 8 commercial release? |

TITANIC. ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST. - these were the particular titles this time, but I've come across others over the years. |

I see. Maybe someone botched an attempt at rerecording a new track and just erased everything. Maybe they sent their films to CX for re-striping. |

Hah! Maybe so. These were selling at, respectively, 725 euro and 900 euro. Thing is, people seemed enthusiastic about buying them so I wondered, is this re-recording of soundtracks at home a common thing with Super 8 collectors? |

Are they selling at that price with the blank tracks? I don't think rerecording at home is common. |

Well, they haven't sold but no one seems to be troubled by the price. Check it out for yourself over at the 8mm forum. |

I understand some folk use their GS1200 recording facility to record soundtracks from DVD. Is this easy to do? |

The GS-1200 still needs a device to sync the dvd with the projector. Last time I looked this device was around $300. |
