Double-8 film has twice as many perforation holes than 16mm has.
The claw in your 8mm camera only caught every second hole.

That was an old Bolex 8mm camera and the film run smoothly in it... In any case, there seems to be little 16mm stock with double perf now, and on double-8 and double-S8 I only found those Fomapan stocks, b&w reversal.

As I said  my single perf 16mm strip run smoothly in the camera, but the truth is, when projected, images seemed a bit out of projector's gate. I attached a still, heavily interlaced, so maybe not a very good example.
