Hello,
I recently bought a Wolverine clone, a no-brand Movie Digitizer / MovieMaker "M127".
I'm having some issues with it, and by searching the web I stumbled upon the thread by Robert Hudson in the old forum, of which this one is a followup.
So I thought I could ask about it here, I hope this is the right place .
My issue can be seen here: http://mdv.eu/temp/MovieMaker_Problem_Short.mp4
It seems similar to what Mr. Hudson experienced when the belt of his Wolverine was melting. But my device is new! And it actually does not do it with ALL my 8mm movies... with some of them it goes mostly smooth, while with others the issue happens continuously, even getting to a complete halt of the conversion process (blue error screen on the converter).
It does not seem to be related to film conditions or joints, because e.g. the film in the demo video above seems in very good conditions to me.
Curiously it has a specific periodicity, at least in most cases: it glitches every 4 frame advances.
I'm asking the seller for a replacement, but they are offering a partial refund instead. Which would be fine to me, IF I can fix the issue somehow myself.
Do you have any clues? Do you think a fix is possible? I like the image quality after all, if I can make it work.
This thread and the old one are so long that I hope I'm not asking something which has already been said a million times...
And by the way: I'm interested in what has become the main topic of the thread, it's still not clear to me; is it a DIY Wolverine-like project? Where can I find full info and status about it?
Thanks for any info!
