I checked my scans of this latest reel of film, 4 scans of about 700 - 900 MB each. Two are okay, two are wrong. I cant see a flash on the wrong ones at all, first frame is exposed okay though it already jitters. First scan has 46 MB/s and is okay. On the second scan I see a little overexposure...

So that is not the cause of the bug for my hardware. I demonstrated jitter present from beginning to end, and it gets worse towards the end. Also it is deterministic with a repeating pattern so this suggests software/hardware. The start of the scan seems important but random - I have to be lucky...

My recent observation is that Qp doesnt do anything. It seems to go to highest quality on its own irrespective of the minimum value that you set. Can you confirm this? Do you see higher/lower data rates in your scans? I uploaded two short clips - the Qp=30 one shows an interesting effect. Not...

Flashed the above 7.4, boot screen says 7.4, folder name is FilmScnC7.3. Set the Qp to 23 min, sharpness -1, loaded a reel, scanned for 90 minutes, and got 1.7GB of jittering bad scan result begin to end... sigh.. its already bad at the start, but worse at the end. EDIT: changing minimum Qp...

Thats a nice feature, as discussed in DM for me a minimum of Qp=23 seems to work to avoid the jitter/skew in frames. But of course datarate and required processing power still depends on how much the picture changes between frames and the amount of detail and grain present. I will do a lot more...

Running C v7.2. Took a gamble and put a 50 year old reel in, about 30m super-8. Loaded in PC, start of clip was excellent. Came out with much better colors and detail than the "professional" scan done by my parents years ago (expensive back then). However, towards the end I see "jitter" in the...

Aww thats a pity - you cant find the actual frame nor frame number that is encoded. I would guess that the frames are all dumped into one fixed buffer continuously and send to preview, then the sensor triggers and a frame is encoded, perhaps after a fixed additional delay. Easy said but to find...

Okay, seems not an easy one to solve. Observing the transport of the film, at the exit the film is pulled over three static capstans (the white line). The mechanism pushes one frame forward, tension is released and then this slack "travels" to the third capstan, the reel rotates and pulls...

Another new member found this forum. Hello all! I bought the Kodak Reels this week, an EU model. After scanning my first reel I was very disappointed about the resolution and compression artifacts and a washed out exposure. Also to discover the fps was fixed to 20 - why???? Tried post production...
