The 8mm film (also known as Regular 8) was developed by Eastman Kodak during the Great Depression and was released in 1932 to create a home movie format that is more affordable than 16mm. The frame size is 4.8mm x 3.5mm and a film meter contains 264 frames.
This format is known as 8mm wide, and also has perforations on only one side. However, the perforations are smaller, which allows a larger area of exposure. The super 8 also left the margin opposite the perforations to an oxide strip, on top of which the sound can be magnetically recorded.
The 16mm is a historic film format, economical and popular. 16 mm refers to the width of the frame. It was generally used in industrial and educational contexts. It existed as a popular domestic recording format for several decades, alongside 8mm and Super8 movies.
