Is it possible to use FFmpeg for digitizing a Normal8 or Super8 film?
The framerate is 16 for Normal8 or 18 for Super8, but the motor speed of the projector may have 10% tolerance. I could project the film on a screen and make a FHD video at 180 fps (with Panasonic GH5S camera). There would be a small distortion because the projector and the camera aren't exactly on the same axis, but that could be corrected with the remap filter. I haven't yet tested it. What I expect to see in the video is approximately 5 bright frames followed by 5 dark frames. Is it possible to automatically select one frame from the middle of each bright segment?
Or any other ideas?

@Michael,
This is more a comment than a reply to what you specifically ask for.
About thirty years ago I recorded a few old 8 mm and Super 8mm films from a film canvas onto my analog Hi8 camcorder/tape. Then later on, I digitized this video via an A/D converter&recorder to DV video format, and via ffmpeg/DeVeDe to a DVD burner.

A similar method using a consumer quality DVD recorder (in lack of a dedicated film scanner for expected higher quality) is shown here

Today I probably would have tried a better HD camcorder and output directly via HDMI to a HDMI-USB3 video capture dongle as input tp ffmpeg. Someone mentioned stream-copy first before encoding, without telling how to do it in this pipe-line.
