Ok, I just re-captured reel #3, zoomed very slightly out so as to grab the film frame boundaries on the outer edges of the video frames.  Although the image is ever-so-slightly smaller, it will ensure that I am not missing even a single row of pixels.  I am happy with the capture, and so I will grab the remaining two reels over the next two evenings.

Since the aspect ratio of the film is slightly different than the aspect ratio of the video (the film is more narrow), there is some leftover usable space on the sides. So I am using that space to grab the rightmost portion of the sprocket holes. Perhaps someday I will figure out how to use those for further stabilization - although if you see my thread in the technical section, it turns out that may be harder than it seems. But I did it anyways because it didn't cost me anything, and who knows if someone will come up with a filter for doing that some day.

Anyone have a favorite filter they want me to try?
