    Hacking the Kodak Reels 8mm Film Digitizer (New Thread)

    Hello, any help much appreciated. The motor in my reels has suddenly stopped working. This is not due to any software upgrade, it was working one day and the next day was totally silent - no capture, no rewind, no start-up sound. Everything else seems to be as normal. Has anyone else experienced...

    Hacking the Kodak Reels 8mm Film Digitizer (New Thread)

    Has anyone in the UK or Europe tried the 12mm lens upgrade? if so could you tell me which lens you obtained? The one recommended in this thread seems to be very difficult to source this side of the pond!

    Thanks for the reply. Strangely, several hours after installing the firmware, the problem seems to have resolved itself and that strange screen is no longer appearing, no idea why! I do have a few other issues and queries but I'll put these in a new post.

    Hacking the Kodak Reels 8mm Film Digitizer (New Thread)

    Hello, I hope someone out there can help with this issue. I've got myself into a bit of a downward spiral having tried the firmware updates. Has anyone else experienced this screen before and if so what does it mean? All appears to be fine but this appears when "record" is selected and it's...

    I have just installed the v7.7.1 firmware and can report the following: I am not able to progress beyond the "White Balance" setting, nothing after that is showing (maybe I'm being incredibly stupid but regardless of which buttons I press can't access any of the other "new" parameters). I tried...

    Just to be absolutely certain before I go ahead..the .BIN file doesn't actually go inside the NVTDELFW folder, the 2 sit side by side in the root directory, is that correct? Thanks, MD

    Before I go ahead with installing it, you think that "C" is the right one.. the "look-up" page is pointing me to "B" (see screenshot)..sorry just want to be as sure as I can before I take the risk!

    Hacking the Kodak Reels 8mm Film Digitizer (New Thread)

    Hello, a new Kodak Reels user here, from the UK. I'm very keen to explore the firmware update route but my serial number isn't recognised (CX1725148BK00614) and I'm advised to use firmware B. I presume the European SNs have a different naming system from the US ones? Anyway, I bought it from...
