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

    Hi, I'm a little late, but in the past month i had no time to scan. Now I'm reading all the new posts and came to #83. Here I came to Omegas #573 and read about skipping. I have the same issue and just want to make clear for me ( because I'm german ) what you mean with "the spring". Your...

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

    May be you should make a note, that "Setting will be remembered after unit shutdown" for the 16, 16, 24 fps setting will not be working all the time. I recognized, that often 18 fps are on after reboot. I remembered this, because I in most cases use 24 fps. The same for the "green tint" . After...

    I had to use a new and empty 32 GB SD Card, well formatted. The scanner shows a yellow rectangel with a yellow cross in it when I wanted to start scanning. I put a text-file on the card an scanning was running. Just to report the behavior.

    I use @0dan0 s V7.11. I recognize sometimes flickering, but this I could resolve in a second scan with one or two steps down or up in framing depending on the location where the flickering occurs. The flicker is not dependend on the software but on the frame located in the scanner.

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

    It seems, that I'm recognising something mysterious. I'm scanning one film after an other. After some films I switch off the scanner, take out the SD card, copy the files from the card, erase them on the card, put the card back in the scanner and turn on the scanner again. There is no film in...

    No more issues ( histogram disappears, black lines in the stored frames ) with reels having over 16384 frames ( reels bigger than 5 inch - ca 67 meters S8 ). Thank you @0dan0 so much. Now I can start my second round of scanning all my material and have much less work to do in postprocessing...

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

    I was out this week and tested last saturday with V6.9. I found sufficent color settings for Kodachrome from the 70 s. 448, 256, 256 ev 2 ( White bal 2,0 -1,5 -0,5 ). Only the issue after 16384 frames existed. Now we have the new V7.1.1 with the possibility to choose also 24fps ( over 95 % of...

    That is correct. Just at reaching 16384 ( 14 bit ). At frame 16504 the black stripes appear. Not on display but in the file. From this point on they are at every frame. Correction : 16385 the first of 5 stripes, then 10 frames without, then another 5 with stripes, 10 without, 5 with and so on ...

    I'm so lucky with this settings. It's working fine to me and I'm so thankful that you have invested so much effort. This software should be delivered with all of the new sold scanners ... Thank you very much I now use EV 2 and with the color settings using the histogram I can individually tune...

    I'm no professional. I take an old cotton hankerchief which does not have lint and swap isopropanol on it. I have to renew every one or two minutes the liquid on an other part. I use an old Super 8 viewer which has a hand crank so I can make the speed I like.

    Many tests. Minimal EV starts at my scanner at -6. I tested with my normal film. I found ev 1 is sufficent for me. I will tomorrow take a look how to adjust the brightness in vegas. EV1 is a little to dark, ev 2 is too bright, but no complain about this. I can adjust this. I don't know yet if...

    So. That are 5 takes from the original scan coming from Reels and V69 cutted in Vegas, no correction of anything. Normally I produce a new mp4 with ffmpeg from the PNG files for resizing 18 fps or 24fps with the following command ffmpeg.exe -loglevel fatal -framerate 18 -i...
