Review on Wolverine Converter Scanner Convert Scanning by Jorge Tupou

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Easy to use, wish it was like 20 years ago.

I finally took this thing out of the box and was in 10 minutes ready to go. (It probably could have been 6 minutes, but my fat fingers and arthritic hands slow me down a bit). Before buying I watched a lot of videos on the internet on how this thing works. So it was pretty easy to "get down to business". I digitized about 24 3 inch rolls of old 8mm film and they look really fantastic. I'm looking forward to converting all my parents' home videos from the distant past, they must be pleasantly surprised. As far as conversion goes, what I've done so far, the default exposure settings have been optimal. I hope any films I have yet to make are that easy, but I'd love to play around with different exposure settings just to see what the consequences are. I will say that the only downside I have is using the small powder puff that you get with the machine. It's very short and the angle you have to clean the light table at makes it a chore. I usually use a quick blast of compressed air (in a canister) and it does a good job of removing residual particles from old tapes. I'm glad I made the purchase.

Pros
  • Frame-by-frame digitizer for high quality digital conversion Convert 8 & Super 8 movies to MPEG4 MP4 digital video files at 720p, 30 fps
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
