This is just going overboard and actually counterproductive. First, regular or super 8 quality is represented very well in a good quality DVD transfer. But most important, The best way to preserve color film is to project it as little as possible, store it in a cool dry place, and use a digital copy for viewing. The ultimate best storage for color film is freezing it. This way, the original will be kept as good as possible so that if a better digital transfer process becomes available in the future, the original is still as clean and unfaded as possible.

While they recommend projecting your film when you want the original experience, I feel they do not warn strongly enough about making sure the projector will not cause damage, deposit oil or dirt, etc. I think most amateur projectors are iffy.
