I have converted about 50 reels and still going, both regular 8 and super 8 or various sizes. I'd take a short reel to experiment with at first. Setting up the X,Y and W(zoom in and out) of the camera in the frame adj is important. Once that is set good most of your stuff should be all set to go. You will have to adjust again when switching between reg 8 and super 8 (I wrote the numbers down) if you have a 10 min reel expect it to take 4 or 5x times longer to convert. Use a bright light to view the area threading the film through the gates. it is really important to get the film under the 3 tabs shown on the diagram or the film wont advance. push the film in through the first tab like threading a needle and do the same for the next 2. do not try to put in all 3 at the same time. You do have to keep an eye on it, splices may stick in the gate and need help clearing, or worse old splices may come apart and a nice huge pile of film will be on your desk... (Keep your cat away) I use Davinci Resolve 19 to edit the movies afterwards (is great free software you don't need the pay version) if your movies where shot in 18fps you can change the speed so it looks natural and not too fast. If you have super 8 sound it will not do the sound, I used my projector to pipe audio into the aux port of my computer used Audacity to capture the sound and later combined the tracks in Davinci.. stretching the movie to match the sound cut, turned our pretty good for me.. also services like Legacy Box do not do the audio for you at all.

The image quality and the ease of use the speed is excellent for this product. I’m extremely happy converting 8 mm tapes to digital. I have ran into zero issues. Well worth the money.

spacers for the reel can be made of better quality plus one or two extras would help

Still had a bad copy.I was very disappointed in this product after trying it.It looked good, and I was excited to try it. I have a number of films, I wanted to copy.

This proved to be a great way to convert our family's 8mm and Super 8 film much more cost effectively than sending them out to a service which can be as much as $12 per reel. I converted about 120 reels.. the only reason I didn't give 5 stars is towards the 100th reel the mechanism started skipping and cause issues with the video conversion. I had to redo a number of reels as a result. But I would say worth the money to convert precious family memories.

The good thing is it does provide a method to transfer your old 8mm and Super8mm home movies to .mp4 digital format. But it does that one-frame-at-a-time! Very slow! It takes about 30 minutes to do a simple 3 minute film. My family splices home movies with 5 films on 7" reel, shows in 15 to 20 minutes, but this machine takes 2 1/2 to 3 hours to scan!Now, there are other converters that click right along and will scan your 8mm films much quicker, but... they cost a lot more!Don't even THINK about using this machine to rewind after you've finished a reel! There is a method, but.. just set up your old movie projector and use it to rewind, much faster!This thing tends to tip forward (toward you). I stick the little plastic container that the 32GB SD card came in just under the front edge of the scanner to make it tilt slight back so it won't fall forward on you.Thanks for the 32GB SD chip! My cheapie 35MM slide scanner did not come with one!The tiny viewing screen on this machine is pretty much worthless. You will want to use the TV connector cord to any old TV that has a RCA video (usually yellow) Input. Watch the scan on the TV instead of on this machine.You will always want to adjust the frame thing with each film. The scanner camera always seems to be a wee bit out of vertical adjustment.Last thing: There is a comment printed on the front of the machine that says to make sure you put the film UNDER the three 'white tabs'. Well. there's only ONE White tab. The other two are the front and end tabs, and they are black and very hard to see! Keep a flashlight and magnify lens handy!For the price, its workable, but... so slow! Pay more for a fast scanner if you have many movies to scan!

It is very easy to use with a mini disk. You can tell it is an older design with the Mini USB, no micro but doesn't matter because it works. This captures one frame at a time so there is no bluring to worry about. Works great.

This converter seems to work as advertised. It would be nice to have some expanded information in the Users Guide to explain how to frame the film and adjustments necessary to get a good conversion. However, after searching YouTube I was able to understand how to tweak everything and get great results. The unit is front heavy (especially when converting from a full 7 inch reel) and "leans" to the front while operating. This causes the unit to be very susceptible to tipping over. Also, the Super 8 shaft adjusters do not hold the reels tight enough which resulted in the back reel falling off the shaft because of the forward lean and loose-fitting shaft adapter. I ended up putting supporting the front of the unit with pieces of felt so that it leaned back slightly and reversed the Back Reel shaft adjuster which effectively holds the reel in place during operation. These small problems were very easy to overcome and the operation and resulting converted videos turned out very nice. In my opinion this unit produces an excellent finished product at a very nice price!
