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

    Thanks, v3 to v4. Do we know when exFAT broke?

    It might nice for someone to determine which version broke playback, like which version broke 64GB card support.

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

    For more frames we will need to lower the quality. This is not an introduced bug, it is a limitation on the Reels system design. It does not support 64-bit MP4s, required for files over 4GB. As for the other bugs, like broken playback, they are likely due the increased memory needs for...

    Qp - compression quality - will ramp up over time. Often a tough segment will be at a low Qp (high quality) at the time of the encoder crash. The next capture for the same frames uses a higher Qp, almost always solving the issue.

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

    The random stopping is known, and happens more with the sharper lens. It will most often happen when the scene has a lot of texture and details, for which the new lens reveals more. The encoder is crashing with so much information (it is a crappy encoder from ~2011.) user control, a lower...

    Compression is very much image dependent. Yes you typically resolve more details from the fluff and the scratches than the image itself from 8mm film. At at 35 mbs the quality for noisy source is good, not great. More of a factor is 8mm film itself is not high resolution. The main reason the...

    4GBytes is a file size limit. At 35mbs that around a 15minutes for an 18fps reel. The software will crash at 4GB, but the file safely closes. Reboot is required. This would practically never happen with stock firmware at 8mbs, so there is no file chaptering implemented. The glitch is a long...

    I have tried diopters. That might work if the focus was almost in, it wasn't close with the above lens. I expected the sensor needs to be mounted higher. In basic optical terms it makes sense, the longer 16mm lens, requires more distance from the front element to the sensor. Moving too much...

    The 12mm is a really good fit, with some overscan. A 12mm macro like this one, should have been the original choice for this hardware. For the active picture is so near 1080p. It would be extremely unlikely that 16mm macro, with no overscan would work in this range, without being a custom...

    My lenses order form RMA ELECTRONICS arrived. The AZURE-1228MAC is confirmed to be same lens as the one from Scorpion. The secondary experiment with at 16mm AZ-231622S-MAC hasn't worked, I couldn't get a focus at this short distance.

    Yes, as the firmware is re-using the left and right buttons for green tint, any longish presses while framing may also alter the tint. I should probably make the green tint presses longer.

    @ThePhage You reminded me how annoying the "Tint" is for saturation. So that can be changed (in English only), something for the next release.

    That looks like Mac84 firmware, not 0dan0 v7.1. The original firmware hack didn't modify the boot logo, that is way you didn't see any change on the firmware update. Other big differences: resolution at 1920x1440 (not 1600x1200, remember the stock lens can only resolve ~640x480, more...

    Well now you know you are installing firmware. :) So Type B it is.
