Fun with Mindstorms & Old 8mm Films : Harri Kaimio

[C&P]
I have used an Epson 4990 scanner for digitizing my photo archive. It is a very high quality flatbed scanner that can scan 4 strips of 35 mm at once. The obvious question was that could I use it to scan my Super8 films as well?

The basic idea was simple: the scanner lid is wide enough to fit about 2 seconds of 8mm film at a time. If I could scan these, somehow extract the individual frames from the scanned image and move the next 2 sec of the film to the scanner… Should be easy, but this must be automated (I don’t want to sit next to my scanner and transfer the film 30 times to get one minute of material…)
