Well, it worked! It flashed my MovieMaker to give it the 1080 resolution of the MovieMaker Pro. Thanks very much for this! However, after capturing a film and comparing it to my old 720p capture, I don't think it improves much. I think I was getting all I was gonna get from this grainy old film...

@Mac84, my Wolverine Film2digital MovieMaker 8mm film scanner has a 2304 x 1536 sensor, but only outputs 720p video. I'm guessing that it could do 1080 with the right hack.

It's time to get out your cameras and your favourite piece of vintage kit and submit your photo entry into the Tinker Different 2024 calendar competition. It doesn't have to be a computer, it might be a game console, a boom box, a camera, a car or a television. It just needs to be vintage. Just...

I keep a supply of optocouplers on hand and replace them on every Classic and Classic II that comes my way these days. They fail a lot.

Hi all, my name is Bruce Rayne from Branchus Creations. I am one of the founding members of Tinker Different and have been keeping the President's seat warm for the past 12 months. I was extremely humbled to have been voted as the president of the first Tinker Different board. I would like to...

This behaviour is also observable in the dark mode theme, and for now I think it'll have to be something people just learn to live with. It's certainly not a quick fix.

The Tinker Different Board of Directors has provided the following response to the recent posting and subsequent comments by Mr. Fahrenheit: The founding of Tinker Different was a monumental process. Our many founders, including Mr. Fahrenheit, worked tirelessly to define all aspects of its...

Even though we call it the PowerPC challenge, we do welcome earlier Macs as well. In 2021 we actually called it the "68k & PPC Challenge" but decided it was too much of a mouthful and returned to the original name. We welcome your participation in the 2023 event.
