| Abstract: |
A method for treating acetate-based films, particularly those having a magnetic particle layer onto which a sound track has been recorded, so that information recorded on the film can be reproduced even when the film has been distorted by heat or humidity. The film is placed in a container where it contacts a sufficient amount of steam until the film absorbs sufficient moisture from the steam so that it softens and becomes sufficiently flat to provide good contact with a playback head. Preferably, the film contacts the steam for about 10 to about 20 seconds and, in particular, about 15 seconds.
