Double Super 8 film (commonly abbreviated as DS8)
is a 16mm wide film but has Super 8 size sprockets.
It is used in the same way as standard 8mm film in that the film is run
through the camera twice, exposing one side on each pass. During processing,
the film is split down the middle and the two pieces spliced together to
produce a single strip for projection in a Super 8 projector. Because it
has sprockets on both sides of the film, the pin-registration is superior
to Super 8 film and so picture stability is better.
