Digitize Super-8 Films

By webmaster | March 13, 2010

  • Where can I buy a machine to scan Super-8 films (automatically) to an AVI or mpeg Video? Can also only be 100s of numbered jpgs. Film must be transported with a motor. Recognition of each image.. Cannot be such a complex machine. Who would be able to build one if not available on the market ?


  • Dear subwave, I have found first traces of the necessary equipment. However, it is very, very expensive. Do you, despite this, want an answer? Regards, Scriptor


  • Hi subwave, I have found for you the following: 1. Realtime 15fps - Uses standard video camera - No computer needed - Dual 8mm 2. 20fps - Uses standard video camera - No computer needed - Dual 8mm 3. Realtime 24fps - Uses standard video camera - No computer needed - Dual 8mm --- $695.00 (any of the above) 4. Single speed auto frame transfer - Dual 8mm - Computer required PAL Compatible --- $995 5. Multi-speed auto frame transfer - Dual 8mm - Computer required PAL Compatible --- $1295 6. Dual 8mm - 15, 18, 24, 30fps Auto pulldown - Built in camera --- $9,995.00 All exclude S&H. "This is a serious transfer unit for both the commercial telecine business or the home 8mm enthusiast. The end result is a flicker free image that is sharp corner to corner with no hot spot and a clarity once reserved for only the finest professional transfer houses." This apart, if you have a specific requirement that may not be on these machines, this person would be able to re-design or construct another machine for you. How does this sound to you? warm regards vinods-ga


  • thanks very much for all your very interesting comments so far. maybe an other aspect : Some of my parents films are in a rather bad shape. I would not dare to put them in the projector anymore. So it would be needed that i can take single filmstrips au maybe 4m and feed them into the machine. Therefore vinods propostions 1 to 3 are probably not so interesting.. but 4. Single speed auto frame transfer - Dual 8mm - Computer required PAL Compatible --- $995 sounds most interesting. Price is high but OK if makes the process really easy. Also I prefer to do it with a computer as we have many standing around here (I have a webdesign company). Some of the filrolls of my parants are now digitized (have not seen quality yet) and they payed at least $70 per roll. So maybe also the service of that company could be interesting for the rest of the material. Thanks very much - great service !!!!
