[Tig] Sepmag and telecine

[woz]

Hi Andreas,
Do the sprocket holes line up with 16mm perfs?  If so you might be able to
extract the audio using the stripe head  on a MK3, or perhaps another
telecine which handles stripe; you may of course have to find a way of
keeping the mag in a fixed place on the capstan, and tweaking the mag head
and or rollers for position. (make sure you have either known good stripe
film or test film before off-tweaking, so you can line it up afterwards).
Will it run through a standard 8 gate?
I know this not much help but might be worth a try, sorry I've not worked on
FDL's so don't know how stripe PB is accomplished on these.
Alternatively find a 'disposable' 1/4" or 1/2" tape machine and an engineer
who can bend or make bits to suit.
I guess you would have to process the audio for time tweaking afterwards,
unless you can get it to sync with the telecine at the correct mag speed.
Regards
woz
