I'm considering setting up a Users Group for old Moviestuff transfer units that are NO LONGER SUPPORTED by Moviestuff.

This would be a "forum-type" group that would focus on DISCONTINUED film scanner units manufactured by Moviestuff in Texas. This group would not supported by Moviestuff but would look to include users of the previous generations of Moviestuff equipment such as CineMate, WorkPrinter, Sniper, SlideStream, SoundStream, Velocity Box, QuickSilver, Mi-Skan and EZ-Scan movie film scanners.

Group Members would be encouraged to ask or answer questions about reviving or keeping these older units working.

Here are a few of the types of questions that may be of interest:
1. What PC/Mac platforms/specs are you using?
2. Will the CineCap software run on Windows 10? 64-bit systems? If so, what mods are needed?
3. How to obtain old versions of unsupported CineCap software?
4. Are there other types of software packages (e.g. Scenalyzer) on which Moviestuff products will work? If so, what products and tips on setting up?
5. Tips and ideas on converting SD machines to HD.
6. Specific technical issues you may be having that forum members may help with.
7. What are the different versions of CineCap Velocity software (e.g. 3-March-2011 versions versus 3-April-2012 versions).

I've tentatively set up a Facebook group to determine interest (could change to a group like this one if format doesn't support needs):

Search Facebook: Moviestuff Scanner Support Group

Or type in address: https://www.facebook.com/groups/455006385729916

Although Roger has been GREAT in answering questions for older units, he has his hands full with the current, supported machines. I know that there are a LOT of unsupported machines out there and owners have done amazing things with them and have untapped knowledge and tweaks, etc.

Hopefully there will be interest in this type of forum.

Tom
