• deriving from said input video signal a motion compensated digital video signal having a format corresponding to 24 progressive scan frames per second;
• recording said motion compensated digital video signal on a recording medium with the use of a video signal recorder;
• reproducing said motion compensated digital video signal from said recording medium to provide a reproduced digital video signal;
• digital-to-analog converting said reproduced digital video signal to form an analog video signal having a format corresponding to 24 progressive scan frames per second;
• and
• supplying said analog video signal to a photographic recorder to record the content of said analog video signal on photographic film.
