Yes, you will need a different projector for each format, as the film is a different physical size.
Updating to 4K is as easy as swapping out the 2K sensor for a 4K one.
The other part I forgot is the lens, it will be around USD200-500 depending on your luck in finding one.

Any examples on those lenses that I hane to get ?

Ok then. I’ll wait till you recover before I begin so I can see your tutorial. In the mean time, I’ll see what kind of projector(s) I can get my hand on with the 35mm & 16mm. For the 9.5, I’ll wait. I might even try to get one and send it to you by mail if necessary (if you’re down with this).

So first part, waiting for your recovery and tutorial & getting the projector(s) and magnet(s). BTW, on those projector’s will I need to change the light bulb frequently ? I’ve heard that it can be replaced with some more durable hallogen bulb. Is that true and will I need to do this ?

Thanks to answer

PS: Thx for the pics, I didn’t saw them at first.

BTW, I forgot to mention this. The print formats I’ll be working on are mostly 16mm & 35mm, and perhaps 9.5mm (AKA Pathe Baby, if you ever heard of those). Do I need a different projector for each format ?

What is your budget?

You can build a 2K scanner for about USD$1500-$2000 plus the cost of a projector to use for parts, and a Windows based computer with USB3 and an SSD RAID or one of the new fast PCIe SSDs (need at least 700MB/s write speed). If you want to go 4K, then the sensor cost starts getting very high ($3000+)
If that is within the budget, I can lay out how to go about it, but basically you need an LED control board with trigger function and camera control (from memory around $500-$700 or so), A PGR sensor ($500-$750), a hall effect sensor and magnet and some associated components ($25), and a suitable projector, some mounting hardware and a focusing rail/micrometer adjustable stage ($80-$400)

A 2k scanner for around $2000 would be more in my budget. I already have a PC with some USB3 inputs, no SSD yet (have to check on that). Althought I don’t have budget for a 4k system yet, that doesn’t mean I won’t have it later, so if something can be done to adapt the set up later, that wouuld be helpful. So, what can I get and work on without the 2k-4k specs ? I guess the projector(s) might be among those (which one and how do I modify it) ?

Thanks to answer

Hi. I’m looking for a way to build my own film scanner, but I really don’t know where to begin and what to get do build it. I do know that some people here, somehow, managed to do it or have at least the necessary knowledge to do so. Can those people (like Poita, among others) please help me with this ? It’ll be very, very appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Like Titanic said earlier, any updates on this project ?

Hallelujah !!!! Welcome back Poita ! Keep us updated for this.

BTW, will you still accept donnations for contribution for this project ?

For the raw footage (and restored if done) what kind of harddrive(s) will you need for the transfer(s) ?

Keep up with the solid good work here. Everybody owes you their very soul now, Mr Scratch ;-)

One more thing, aside of Poita, who will work on the image & sound restoration (for the HD digital files) ?

Thanks to answer

Hi people. Any news for this project ? Is it still on ?

Thanks to answer

Hi. Anybody here knows where I can find a 1080p copy of the uncensored Saludos Amigos ? Because, aside of Netflix or Itunes, I can't it anywhere else.

Thanks to answer

Good luck with that...

What's happening with this project and the other Disney related ones, anyway ? Any fresh news ?

Nice !!! Much better than any of the so called "restorations" coming from Disney.

Hi. Anybody here knows how to rip an Itune rental file of any sort and convert it to someting else without any protection(s) or alterations ?

Thanks to answer

MS = MySpleen

T3C = The 3 Caballeros

 You have a pm.

I see T3C is also released in itunes, but i don't know of its quality.

By the way, does anyone know if the Fancy Free on itunes is the same DNRed HD used for the BLuray?

 No Idea. The avalaible Itune sample doesn't allow a proper examination for it. Maybe you'll be luckyer than me to answer this.

MS = MySpleen

T3C = The 3 Caballeros

Can somebody please tell me where I can get the uncensored 1080p SA (aside of Itune) ? Is it avalaible on MS ? What about T3C ?

Thanks to answer

Screenshot comparisons of Ichabod release (Bluray Vs. DVD):

 Not so bad, all things considered, mainly the cropped edges and darkened image (contrasts boost ?). At least, it doesn'y look over scrubbed for the grain, unlike some others films of the same perion (Mickey's Christmas Carol, Sword in the Stone, etc), or over cropped for a fake widescreen like too many other films these days...

Out of this project, why not create a good tutorial on to achieve it and how, perhaps, to improve it ? It might be a good idea and it'll give you a break so you can continue on your other projects.

About the "grain" & flatening image story, I think that, based on people's opinion, maybe this project (and probably others) could be revisited to correct those two problems, especially the loss focal lenght with the background.

In my own opinion, for acuracy's sake, unless proven otherwise, I think all Disney modern animations post Toy Story were all transfered to film for their initial release. So the "grain nostalgia story" in Disney animations shouldn't go any further than that. So, should the grain in BATB be back as an important element ? Yes I think so, especially if the reved grain flatened the image to the point of losing focal lenght with the background.

Yikes (after seeing the posts on AMPS) !!! Talk about bad luck...

Hi. I'm looking for a good authoring software (DVD &/or BLU-RAY) that can to "real" seamless branching and multiple video streal (multi angles). Good real Blu-Ray menus are also needed.

Any ideas ? I tryed Adobe Encore & Sony DVD Architect, but no luck for those.

Thanks to answer

Short answer, I have an uncensored print being held for me, images are on amps.

Is it the full film or just the full "Pastoral" ?

We may have a lead on another print, but you'll have to read about that at AMPS (for security's sake)... :)

Already done. Still waiting for an update in there

Any fresh news on this ?

True, but you can't "cook a good omelette without breaking the eggs"...
