I bought myself another toy, er, I mean tool!

It is a Kodak 8mm and Super 8 film scanner. I have a box of family movies, many I have not seen ever, and some not in decades. I am scanning or "converting" one now that was shot in the middle 1950s. Some award winning stuff. My favorite part was seeing my long dead uncle and long dead grandfather mowing the yard! Grandpa in his wife beater t-shirt, Bermuda shorts blue socks a black shoes.
There is one part of some relatives in the back yard so that is cool.

I will scan them all, and edit out the really bad parts, and where whoever shot it had the bottom part of the face, from the nose down to the knees. There are no low cut blouses so I guess they were using the wrong viewfinder on the camera.

In the end, I will upload them all to my YouTube account and let the family members watch and download them if they want. I figure YouTube is good place to store them. I will of course keep them on my RAID as well.

I will have to time it, but it is not too horrible slow. I would guess 15 minutes to scan a small reel. It is not fast for sure.

I have many many hours of movies to scan.
