@0dan0 small bit of feedback on 7.4 (C). I'm not sure you designed it this way or not, but during capture, while adjusting the Qp, if I am currently at minimum Qp of 15 and continue to press the - button to lower the Qp further, instead of remaining at 15, it jumps back to Qp min of 20...

This sounds wonderful. Do the previous methods of adjusting those settings (White Balance, Tint, Saturation, Frame Rate) still work?

I messaged you a link to a recent capture file that potentially demonstrates this. (7.1.1, model C, Super8, lens mod)

I suspect that newer units are more likely compatible with the C firmware (the unit lookup tool doesn't accurately report on newer units). Give this one a try: FWDV280-TypeC-V7.1.1-0dan0

I can also report that several instances of my scans on a type C with 7.1.1 have frame jitter (frankly it happens more often than it doesn’t happen. Sometimes it’s significant, but sometimes very subtle and I have to look closely for it or compare to older scans of the same footage. Would...

Check that you have the film fed under the 4 black tabs in the scan path. Depending on how/where the film is coming out, you may need to adjust the tension on the metal press plates by slightly screwing or unscrewing them (the plates are spring loaded). You may also consider not using the...

Done. See link to the guide in my signature. I've also added in the complete version history for reference on when certain changes took place.

I've taken the opportunity to revise the User Guide to 0Dan0's Custom Firmware to include some Known Issues. Will try to keep these updated as progress is made. I've also revised the Version Release notes section. Also, @eyeidea, while I think it would be great for someone to put together a...

With a Model C on v7.1.1, I started scanning a 7" reel of Super8 film yesterday. Started off going well for about 7 minutes of resulting footage (with no issues on the resulting file). And then I had to stop the capture to re-frame the image. I restarted the capture and it automatically ended...

Thanks for the clarification and history, Rob_A. I've updated the User Guide appropriately.

I found success with using Pec Pads and Film Guard solution to gently clean dust/dirt from the film before scanning, while also lubricating it. Some film didn’t need it as much as others (those that had been screened more often). I did use Pec 12, but for cleaning the film path on the scanner...

@0dan0 I tested the 7.1.1 firmware on my Model C scanner and a 5" reel scanned really well. Really great results with my 8mm scan (50' roll, no issues so far). I'm developing an "Operating Guide" that incorporates your latest changes that I'll post here a little later; will edit as needed to...

Selectable Frame Rate: Outstanding!!!!!!!! Can't wait to get cracking with my C model, but will gladly wait.

So excited to see ongoing development from 0dan0, with feedback from others here. I wish I had the time to commit toward testing these improvements. Hoping that in December I can re-scan the family film collection so my parents, aunts, uncles, and other family can see this material in glorious...
