                 images to at least one output video signal having a                                    
                 correct number of video lines comprising the steps of:                                 
                       a) reading substantially more vertical lines of                                  
                 information from a motion picture film image than is                                   
                 available on said output video signal;                                                 
                       b) performing vertical sample rate reduction                                     
                 operating on a plurality of vertical lines of video to                                 
                 produce said output video signal with the correct                                      
                 number of video lines.                                                                 
                       22. A film to video transfer system comprising:                                  
                       a) a telecine machine including:                                                 
                             i) an electron beam deflection system to produce                           
                                   a film scanning beam, and                                            
                             ii) a detection system adapted to convert the                              
                                   film scanning beam to a digitized signal                             
                                   representing each film frame which has been                          
                                   scanned, said digitized signal representing a                        
                                   plurality of scanned lines corresponding to                          
                                   each said film frame wherein the number of                           
                                   said scan lines is greater than the number of                        
                                   scan lines required by an output device;
