Product Description
Convert 8mm and Super 8 Movie Reels into MPEG4 Digital Videos
A very simple to use device to convert your movie reels into digital movies (no sound) with few strokes.
Your old reel-to-reel 8mm and Super 8 films are degrading. Worse, the memories are fading and the film is becoming more brittle just sitting in the box.
Convert your Film into digital now before the memories are lost forever using the Wolverine Reels-to-Digital Moviemaker.
Convert Film to Digital with Just Few Clicks
Works like a typical projector where you mount the 3 inch or 5 inch reel, insert a memory card, press few buttons and the apparatus will play the film and scan frame-by-frame to create a digital MP4 movie file that you can play on any computer, edit, upload to the internet or burn to DVD's.
Pays for Itself
With the included TV cable you can attach the unit to a TV RCA jack and playback the digital recordings direct from the Wolverine.
Save digital files direct to SD or SDHC memory cards. To upload to computers, either take out the memory card and insert it into a computer or attach the unit to a computer USB port to access the SD card information.
'Do-it-Yourself' Fully Automated Frame-by-Frame Digitizer.

Customers are mixed about the quality of the scanner. Some mention that it offers quality superior to a film chain at a price, and is well-made. They say the film is in good shape with no splices, so they can set it, forget it, and scan it frame by frame. However, others say that the reel gets stuck, or breaks or jams, and you have to stop the scanning process.

Customers are dissatisfied with the speed of the scanner. They mention that the recorded frame rate is too fast, the conversion speeds up the movies slightly, and it takes a long time to process each film. The transfer seems slow, and the rewind is ridiculously slow. That said, some complain that the digitized film plays back at the wrong speed and the frame rate was off.
"...It only creates mp4 files which are grainy and the video runs too fast. There are many other complaints...." Read more
"...The rewind is ridiculously slow; you literally can rewind a reel faster by hand...." Read more

Customers are dissatisfied with the size of the reels it can accept. They mention that it only handles reels 5" or less, and that it does not fit larger reels.
"...It is limited to 5 inch reels. It is limited to 720p scan resolution. The files it creates play back at 30 frames per second (too fast)...." Read more
"...No two films are exactly alike. Some films are wider than others and can get stuck in the scanner. This occurred on ten percent of my films...." Read more

"...32gig 1000 cards (the largest the digitizer will use), and they hold a great deal which I then transfer to my computer for editing using Windows..." Read more
Customers are dissatisfied with the sound quality of the scanner. They mention that it makes a horrible noise, does not do sound, and starts making a louder clicking noise when it gets dirty. The pixel noise is very distracting, and the take-up reel now sounds like a mini jackhammer when recording. They also get tired of hearing the machine advance and the motor sounds like cheap DC gearmotor used in toys. Customers also complain that it does not capture audio and is limited to 5 inch reels.
"...The motor sounds like a cheap DC gearmotor used in toys. The film seems to jam very easily if the sprocket holes are the slightest bit worn...." Read more

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Before I expound on that, let me state that I am just DELIRIOUSLY happy to own this thing!
Okay! Other reviewers complain as follows: It does not capture audio. It is limited to 5 inch reels. It is limited to 720p scan resolution. The files it creates play back at 30 frames per second (too fast). It only creates mp4 files which are grainy and the video runs too fast. There are many other complaints.
There is nothing inherently “grainy” about mp4 files. Graininess on amateur film video is generally from an automatic gain control (AGC) circuit that is trying to compensate for the fact that you are failing to provide enough light for what you are recording. This problem is most over with respect to modern gear which simply does not require the type of illumination that was necessary in home movies and early camcorders….and of course, there is nothing about mp4 files that make them play back at a different speed. What is wrong with 720p? It still looks pretty good on our big screen TVs! Do you think there is much more to capture on a tiny frame of 8mm film?
READ the sales information carefully, and none of this should surprise you, and NONE of this is really a problem when you consider that the savings on the first 10 videos you digitize will pay for the cost of this machine. I used the (recently ubiquitous) services of the most visible provider of this service. The results were fine, but I waited a few weeks and paid a lot of money. I since redid a couple of my films myself and the results were EASILY as clear and watchable. Yes, the default playback speed of the videos you create gives you a pretty fast video, but when you use the common software video players, they almost all give you an opportunity to slow it down. I recommend .6 of the recorded speed. If you burn dvds, editors such as Corel VideoStudio and most others will let you CREATE a DVD that plays back at the proper speed without needing any special tweak by the person you send it to.
Reading other reviews, it sounds like this machine might not be as sturdy as a Sherman tank. I recommend you do not use it for rewinding. Just rewind by hand with the help of a pencil. Save the motor for the more important use during processing. Keep it clean. Follow the directions about keeping dust out of the little place where the frames are squared up for having their picture taken. To me, with proper use, this should last a pretty long time, and should be fixable for most little minor things that might happen. Most end users would not even need the machine once they have gotten through all of their archival videos. At that point, you can probably sell it online and recover some of your costs.
The little 13 page owners manual is very well done, and obviously has ENGLISH as its primary language.
Just understand that you should be very cautious and careful with this. If you do that, you will be stupendously delighted as am I. Don't try to compare it feature by feature with devices that cost a four digit number!
I could go on further, but there is probably a maximum review length. Ask me questions if you like - I think there is a way you can do that! I am a big fan.

-I expected it to be slow and it is. I think it takes maybe 6x as long as the film, so a 50'ft reel takes maybe 1/2 hour to scan. (Not exactly measured).
-Regarding the picture quality: 8mm film is not very good quality in the first place, but with the default sharpness etc this was as good as I expected if not a bit better.
Difficulty to use: It is a bit of a pain to thread the film through the gate and to follow the twists and turns of the path it is supposed to use without it all popping out. However, after a few times, it goes get easier.
You can adjust the horizontal and vertical registration as well as the "zoom" so that the movie frame fills up the full picture and does not loose top, bottom, or sides. However, to do this you have to stop the recording when there is a picture there, do the adjustment, and restart it. This starts a new mp4 file. And the vertical registration seems to change a bit (not seriously) between what you adjusted and when it is running.
Once or twice the film got caught in the gate--it may have been at the 25' splice on regular 8. It makes a horrible noise (and probably tore one of the sprocket holes there) but it did stop on its own after a second or 2. Unlike an old projector, the film in front of the light did not melt! (It is a cool LED, I assume). And again, you have to restart it and that causes a new MP4 file to start. (On a Mac, Quicktime viewer can re-merge them easily although it turns them into a quicktime format instead of MP4).
You have to swap reels from side to side to rewind. An inconvenience, but not horrible.
My final comment: The instructions say you can't use a micro-sd card in an adapter, and they say that if you read the SD card on a Mac the scanner can't read it again. I did not find either of these to be true. All I had were micro SD cards and adapters, and that was no problem. And then I plugged the SD card into a Mac to take of the files, and the card still worked just fine.
Summary: It's not a professional device and for the price I would not expect that. It does what I want reasonably well, and I consider it a good purchase.

Cons often very hard to get it to catch the film so it will work.
