Regular 8mm Film
- Standard 8mm with sound is very rare.
- 8mm and Super 8mm are the same width but Super 8 uses smaller sprocket holes and a larger image area. This means the same size projected image will need less magnification and appear sharper and less grainy.
- Super-8 films are 18 frames per second-and movement looks SLIGHTLY smoother.
- Standard 8 films are 16 frames per second.
- Many Kodak 8mm cameras from the early 1970's were 8mm sound.
How to recognize if film is silent or has sound
Only films that have magnetic band(s) have the capability of having sound recorded onto them.
Simply having a magnetic band on a film does not mean the film definitively has sound. It could still be silent if no sound was ever recorded onto it.
