For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I think when it says it converts Super 8 to digital it means it will allow you to take a still from a single frame; from my experience the only way to convert cine film to digital is to project it and film the screen with a video camera. Be under no illusions, scanning prints/negatives/slides is a VERY time-consuming process; I don't know how old you are but scanning a movie frame by frame is a job you are unlikely to finish in this lifetime. Think about it, a 3 min film at 24fps contains 24x60x3 frames = 4320 frames. Allow 1 min to position a frame and scan it and it's 72 hours to do the movie.
As has been indicated above, the device you mention scans still images only. The item's description on Amazon (where it's currently unavailable anyway) states that it scans to JPEG images: "Converts 35mm/135, 110, 126KPK and Super 8 films,Slides & Negatives into digital JPEG format within 2 seconds"

Thanks Tuvok, that's what I presumed.
bhg481, I am of a certain age but have plenty of time! My thoughts are that it will only do frame by frame (not an option I would go for), but then what's the point of this machine if it doesn't convert to a proper digital movie? Methinks I'll look at a different one that excludes Super 8 option.
