When you posted the stuff quoted below from a couple pages back, I thought you were initially referring to the capacity of a 16mm scanner you had (the WorkPrinter I thought was a completely separate piece of hardware you also had). I now see you were talking about how long 16mm *reels* themselves normally are. Oops. But apparently the Star Wars 16mm reels that Laserman has seen are often 1200-1600ft. long each.---------------------------------
" Originally posted by: Laserman I think he can only take 400ft reels and not many people would be happy having their 1200ft or larger reels cut up.
The 400ft limitation was for super-8. I'll have to check on the limit for 16mm, but it's gotta be more than that..."
"16mm reels are only 400 feet, translating to roughly 10 minutes of footage."
---------------------------------
In any case, it would seem no one here has or has access to a 16mm film scanner they could use. So it's the WorkPrinter method or nothing, I guess.
It might not be as fancy as a film scanner, but according to that web site that you posted that describes what the WorkPrinter can do, it provides quite good transfers.
