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

    Have you tried installing the D stock firmware? It cannot hurt anything at this point.

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

    Thank you melw! This drop (605) works great on my D unit with the lense mod. I can tell the quality of the scan is better, and a lot larger (file size) than the previous D mod firmware. I have not tried your latest release, but I only use 32G cards and I format the cards in the Reels scanner...

    I believe the stock "D" firmware is downloadable in post 143.

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

    I did not open up the unit for the lens mod. I removed the old lens and sercured the ribbon cable out of the way. Then used a hobby knife to very carefully score the plastic until I could work it back and forth to "snap" the plastic I needed to remove. The knife never went all the way through...

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

    This is what my model D records now on regular 8mm. It does Super 8mm just fine. Any ideas? I have already done the lens mod, but it was working about a week before this happened. It shows this, or some other type of corruption even if there is no SD card in the scanner.

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

    New issue now. When I switch to 8mm from Super 8mm, the screen corrupts and will not show anything in the capture section of the menu in the preview mode or in capture mode. If I back out of capture mode, the screen returns to normal and all menu options work as they should. Have flashed...

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

    Ok, I did the lens swap/mod and I am on the firmwre "D" mod. But now I cannot zoom out enough to see the entire frame and sprocket holes. Everything focuses fine, after some trial and error. I bought the 12mm lens in the link on the lens mod. I do have a "D" unit, so I don't know if that is...

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

    Post #225 seems to be stable for version D. Is there a more recent firmware for version D? My biggest thanks to everyone who is working on this project! I am willing to test version D if there are new versions available. I can't make any adjustments during scanning on this version, unless I...

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

    Just received by Reels from the Amazons. The SN is: H2825148BK001.. I'm assuming this is a "D" model. Once I get the film from my dad, I will test it out on stock settings to make sure everything is working and I can sync the audo with the used Elmo super 8 projector that also...

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

    Hello all, new to the forum, and have ordered a Kodak Reels from the Amazons to scan a bunch of 8mm and Super 8mm with sound. I'm guessing I will receive a D version, so I'm hoping there will be some modified firmware I can use for a better scan. Thank you to everyone who has contributed to...
