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

    Hi guys, I have one question as I'm not familiar with video encoding. Using Resolve, what export settings should I use? I would like to keep the file size/quality similar as it is after capture (I believe with the new firmware the quality is good enough). Everything I've tried (not much, I...

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

    Hi @KODIAK , I'm curious to know if you've managed to fix the problem with the pin? Rather than the final position of the stepper motor, it seems that the round, eccentric component in your second picture is mounted 90degrees to the left (or right). If we consider the full rotation that brings...

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

    Thank you Mac, I've actually already hacked my scanner with your first-ish firmware two years ago. Fact is that at the time we were not talking about A, B or C, so now I find myself in possession of one of Kodak's original firmware (so I can revert to a safe standard) plus one of your high...

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

    Hi guys, I'm amazed by the new advancements you've been developing in these past few months. I've installed one of the first Mac84 mods a couple of years ago and it seemed already a whole new world: it opened the gates to a bunch of new hacks, upgrades, fixes. Now, besides the compliments, I'm...

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

    Yeah! first of all a giant THANK YOU to @LordMiG for having been much clever than me and a second one for having shared the new (perfectly working) firmware! I've flashed 2 modified versions (one with the high bitrate standard resolution and one with high bitrate and 1080p resolution as...

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

    Hi all again, I've finally been able to flash the v2/USA device and, as it happened to tinkerman, the screen has turned to negative. I believe there is some little difference between the v2 from Mac84 (including, of course, the back up original firmware he provided): maybe they've changed the...

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

    Hi Sweat100, thank you for your message: indeed the power adapter has the US 2 flat pins. I believe it's a US model, then. About the flashing, I'll try again to format the SD Cards with some other devices (so far I've tried the internal format option on the Kodak and a quick format on my Windows...

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

    Hi guys, first of all thanks to Mac84 for the great job! Secondly, I've just received my Ver.2 Kodak Reels from Amazon. The package was sent from the USA (I'm currently based in Hong Kong, but the tracking log on the Amazon's package states it's from the USA). Is there any way to be sure of it...
