8mm Film digitising

For a long time I have wanted to see what was on the two 8mm films that I have. On friday 16th August I bought a Bell and Howell 635 Moviemaster projector at the market. I haev brought it home and lubricated it, and got it working. I lost the cheat sheet showing how to thread the film when I packed it up at the market, but I have found it here:

I have picked up the manual from here though:

It is now downloaded.

Now I think that I have heard that you have to sync the frames palying with the frames being recorded on the digital camera. That's the enxt investigateion.
