Well, my time estimates were a bit optimistic and based on short clips. It takes about 45 minutes from loading the film into the very tricky film gate, getting the frame edges aligned, and centered. Then start the process of capturing the movie. The old hand sized roll of 8 mm file is just a 3.15 movie and from turning the machine on to done and ready to rewind, is 45 minutes. It makes a 250MB MP4 movie.
I found the movie of me riding my bike along side the Apollo 11 containment chamber to keep Earth safe from moon bugs. It passed within a few blocks of our house.
I am scanning one of the large reels now.
