Scanning & Cleaning your cine films. What is the difference between all the 8mm film formats?

I have been scanning cine film for many years using various film scanners. On this channel you will find several videos of me using Tobin & Moviestuff scanners. In this video I explain everything I know about the original regular/standard/double 8 format.

I read the AVP studios info and KZbin channel. Very informative. I was so impressed that I very recently sent mine to Bob at AVP. My super 8mm was from the early 70s and taken on a very cheap plastic type cine camera with no adjustment features available but jus a simple start/stop trigger. They had been run through a very cheap projector many times too and had lots of scratches etc. I sent 2 x 400ft films and 1 x 200ft films made up from crudely cut and joined portioned. A few days later Bob at AVP returned my films along with memory stick I can put inm my TV/computer etc and he put them on the cloud for me. All at a very reasonable price and all very watchable as far as we are concerned . Bob, I can not thank you enough. We are over the moon with the results, we can see our younger selves, our children, our parents and my grandparents. WOW

I have an old Pathe Baby projector from the 1920's and films. The holes in the film is placed in the middle of the film, not on the side. The projector still works. I also have some old films (8 mm) that I am trying to digitize using a DV-camera. I aim the camera to a smoth white board and record what is shown. A DV-camera is perfect as they don't produce those black lines (going up and down) like regular digital cameras do. However I would really like to have a device like yours as the result is so much better. I have done some research and found that the Wolverine (and similiar digitizers) don't produce very good results.

How long will the film last? Love Your Videos! Cheers!👍

I’ve been left about 30 standard 8 reels that I should really review as they are probably of my early childhood and family. Is it worth buying a £350 scanner on Amazon to do this and then sell it when done, or are they useless? I also have hundreds of old slides!

It depends on if you are prepared to put the time in, a 50ft reel takes 35 minutes to scan and then you need to put this file in to an edit programme to correct the playback speed and a few other adjustments before you output a master mp4 file, also if if the scan does not work correctly you have to do the whole process again. If you are OK with this then the end result is OK for home cine.
