    Modding the Kodak Reels 8mm Film Digitizer (Firmware Hack)

    What do you mean with "so very interested in seeing a sample video." I can here only put around 20 MB. I have no youtube account. Your version V6.9 makes the video brighter than V6.8, but not like @Mac84 s and not as bright as my projection with my original filmprojector.

    The "confusing element" is an ashtray in an oval form. The pictures I attached are only to see the differences, but I use them to modify between 20fps ( in the past ) and 18 or 24fps for normal work with sound. All films I had reworked seem to be OK, that means I do not have a problem with the...

    I scanned my testfilm with Version 6.9 and filmed it whit my mobile. I took only the part from starting the scan to the frame 14.. The Exp stayed at 2618 for the following frames White Bal 2.0 Sharpness -1.5 tint 0. V6.9 produces better scannings, I would say the result on the display during...

    I scanned around 1000 films whit @Mac84 s version and some of these films showed jittering too. I then scanned this film again. if this was not helping, I replaced the glue point at the film start with a new one. If this was not helping either, I changed the selection of the scan window and put...

    My experience is, that I have to correct something with an video program. I use Vegas from Magix. If I had 0Dan0 understood correct he get's captures from his (newly ? ) films directly in an acceptable form.

    How old are your films ? My oldest Kodachrome are from 1969 and the color is fantastic. Stored in the dark. Some Revue and Perutz films from 1970 to 1984 got blue and yellow with "flowers" on it.

    Are you sure we all have the same V6.8 version like you ? Could you test with a white prelude tape ?

    Is anybody out there with a Reels Model B and an attached serial port who can verify with @0dan0 s V6.8. Software, that scan starts and decreases brightness at start within 5 or 6 frames and then stays darker ? I think @0dan0 would like to see something using the interaction with the serial...

    I downloaded your V6.6. If I scan the white band, it is a little regulating within 6 frames, but not as dark as in V6.8.. After that the normal film starts scanning and it is balancing the darkness again, but finds after around 9 frames a lighter picture than in V6.8

    Super 8 On which peace of film you are start scanning ? How difficult it was to attach a serial ? Soldering ? What do you mean with "anything else seeing this" ? Do you mean anybody ?

    Another Test with darkness. I took pictures from the scanning of the version of @Mac84 and mine White Bal = 2, Sharpness -1,5, Tint -1, green matching on the red/blue at a non exposed developed part. Additional following 5 pictures from the start of a scanning. I always start at the white band...

    I tested it again. The language setting „german“ does not affect the behaviour. If it starts working with left/right, it behaves so in „english“ and in „german“. But I recognized, that the histogram first has to „work“ before left/right is working. It means on „white bal“ I have first to...

    i use language german and in this "white Bal" is told "exposure". I put the pictures for White Bal +2 and +1,5 as attachment here. Tomorrow I will scan with this again, but I think it will be nearly as dark as before. Tomorrow. For correcting the green : We are talking abaout the left/right...

    I can not recognize changes in green on the display, if I press the keys. I'm in record mode. The Histogram isn't showing the change either. I don't want to open the unit. I'm no technician. So I don't want to attach a serial port. I only have pictures of the scanning of @Mac84 and new...

    Hello 0Dan0 I'am reading this forum since September 2024. My task was to cut my Super 8 films from 1988 where my daughter was 2 1/2. She wished to see how she acts as she was young. Now I'm retired and had time to do so. In June 2024 I bought an Wolverine and digitized around 150 films from this...
