The place I mentioned scans at HD 1920 x 1080 pixels -

2048 x 1556, unknown pixel depth. With deeper bits-per-pixel, you get
more leeway to massage poor exposures.
Maybe you're more careful than the guy I used in the early 90s,
maybe your projector has better lenses, (did I know you back in
the Amiga days or when I was writing for video magazines?)
but take a look at the difference between 1990s projector-to-VHS
and today's digital HD scan. Watch at full-screen.

One of my films was flipped horizontally and plays backwards. It was
an easy fix in digital. Look at the sprocket jitter in the example
above. How do you fix that with a projector?
I think there's plenty of interesting films that would be worth preserving.
I am tempted to help my local historical society with such a project.
I'm sure there are home movies that would be worth keeping as a
historical record, and that would be of interest to others.

You are right and I am impressed, but the example shows a
bit of optical sound track
so was probably professionally shot in the first place. Most of my
clients through the years
have been people who would spend hundreds of dollars on film and
never think of buying a light meter.
