Yeah the media tag shit the bed and now you have to go back and forth and edit a hundred times before you can link to YouTube. Before you would copy and past the share link from the YouTube page, now I think you copy and paste whatever is the actual address of the video from the address bar or you browser. If this doesn t make any sense it s because I am still confused myself.

Thank yous. I just pasted the youtube link in, and it links. Works for my purposes!

Hello!I just unearthed a 16mm film I made in the 1990s (film school). The way we did it at the time was:1) Shot 16mm color negative film (no sound)2) Recorded the sound on a Marantz cassette recorder, then transferred the cassette to a 16mm magnetic tape reel for editing.The end result of this particular short film (which I'm sure is terrible) was an edited 16mm film reel and an accompanying 16mm magnetic tape reel. I believe there was a projector that played both, synced up to a beep.Anyway, I've found lots of places that will transfer the film to a file, but have not had a lot of luck finding a place that can turn the 16mm magnetic soundtrack to a file.Does anybody know of a place where I could have such a thing done? I can sync the audio to the video myself after the fact, so it doesn't need to be a 2-for-1 deal.For reference, this is what the audio reel looks like:(EDIT: oh - does the media thing not work on here anymore?)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7oMq5CjMhE0Thanks!

I too went to film school in the 1990s and made short films this way! I too was left with the 16mm picture and 16mm sound tape and nothing to play them on. Lucky for me I had a house fire take care of it all.But cutting on the flatbed editor was fun and I'm glad I got to experience it before it all went extinct.

I think the process you are looking for is referred to as Telecine processing. It's basically a big film scanner. I think almost any place that would still have one would be able to also pull the audio from your edit reel of audio film. It's probably not cheap to have done, but certainly someone in LA still has the machines for it. Last place I ever saw that had them up and running as a service was called i^3 Media in Chicago, but I'm not sure they are around anymore.

I came across this place once while trying to make a list of DAT/DA-88-friendly outfits.The sheer amount of formats they would tackle made an impression. While I don't understand the entirety of what you are going into, it appears that they might be an option(assuming they are still in the game to that degree).http://audiomechanics.com/services/mastering/formats/
