Am trying to find name/brand of a film scanner which can handle 8mm movie film. The few 35mm film scanners I have used, do not have such an adapter available for the tiny scenes on the strips. I have a bunch of 500 foot rolls which were shot as color and B&W singles. Wm.

I got tons of them on my first google try.

You can send them out to be telecined if you want to edit/output on DV/DVD... If you're just looking to capture a couple of stills from those reels, and film scanners will work, and there are 110 adapters for some which would be close enough to hold the film flat. Alternatively, you could make one out of thin cardboard, or have one made from thin metal. If you want to scan every frame to play as a moving picture, good luck! 754 3700+ @ 255x10 HTx4 ASUS K8Ne Deluxe 2GB PQI DDR3200 / 6600GT Ultra 500w x-connect PSU Powerbok G4 1.67 1GB DDR 100GB 7200rpm / 9700 vid AMD64 3400+/768MB/5700VE 1 Toshiba & a Dell

As a last resort, you could try what I did recently. I projected the movies onto a plain white semigloss card (about 28" x 22") and captured the result with the video camera. Worked like a charm. Burnt it onto a DVD. This was b&w - didn't try colour. Bryan

Bryan.... You are missing something here. This is not a 8mm movie. It is a whole bunch of stills taken on 8mm film by one of the then popular cameras that could shoot such a thing. One frame, then another subject, then another frame. I thus have to scan each one a single at a time. The projector to show all these was borrowed, it went back to the widow after a long term loan. Now have no idea as to where it went. Cannot "Project" the frames, and they would go by much too quickly, and thus would not have time to alter the exposure, contast etc. any. To go slowly, would melt the film possibly, for have done this before. The older single frame projector had cooling air directed across the face of the film to prevent melting. When you shove 750 watts of luminence onto one itty-bitty frame for more than one whole second, it melts. The 110 or 16mm film scanners don't work either. The film droops across the holding frame and ruins the auto focus feature. I could not locate a vendor with the 8mm or Super 8mm film scan capabilities as mentioned. They often mention whole films at spped, but not one frame at a time. Wm.

Sorry about that but you weren't entirely explicit. My projector will project single frames as it has a heat filter which drops across the lamp system. Doesn't help you much though. The projector is a Eumig P8M by the way, just in case you happen to come across one. Bryan
