Growing up, my Dad shot on Super 8. And it had no audio - the camera had C-sized cells that only ran the film motor.  I see from Wikipedia that cameras with audio capability were added in 1973, so it may be that Dad&#x27;s camera predated that.<p>At 24 fps, with each frame being 4.01mm tall, means 96.24mm (3.7 inches) per second of magnetic stripes (there are two, presumably for left + right channels).  This is roughly twice the speed that cassette tapes used (1-7&#x2F;8&quot; per second). Their announcement doesn&#x27;t say if there&#x27;s any audio compression&#x2F;encoding used, but I used to use a dbx compression&#x2F;expansion box to lower the noise floor on cassettes with very good results.<p>One of the nice things about Super 8 was how easy it was to edit. You used a cutting station that had pegs to ensure your cuts were between frames, and glued them together after scraping off a little bit of emulsion.  Adding audio complicates matters, as the audio track is offset from the matching frame by about 3 inches.
