Introduction
Your old 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!
Introducing the Wolverine Film2digital MovieMaker. A simple to use device
that will convert your movie reels into digital movies (no sound) with few
strokes. Works like a typical projector where you mount the 3 inch or 5 inch
reel, insert a memory card, press few buttons and the Wolverine Film2digital
MovieMaker will scan frame-by-frame to create a digital MP4 movie file that
you can play on any computer. You can also edit, upload movie files to
internet or burn them to DVD's.
The Wolverine Film2digital MovieMaker pays for itself taking into
consideration that photo Labs are charging more than a dollar to digitize a
single foot of film!
Do not drop or handle too aggressively as it may cause damage to the device.
8 mm or Super 8 media MUST be mounted in/with proper reel (up to 5" in
diameter) and adapter, before recording/rewinding.
