Purchased "DIGITNOW!" film scanner, which (hopefully) outputs to a USB port. I cannot get any video out of this thing on Linux or Windows. Maybe I'm doing something wrong? Help, please. You will have to first describe in detail that machine. A web page describing it would be nice.
Well, this is probably not helpful, but here is one such page: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rtMzs1Xvysg
The device claims to read positive (slides) and negative film. Its built-in screen does do that. Nothing I tried on Windows or Linux gave any indication that the device even existed. I don't have any trouble connecting my Panasonic camera or a webcam to the computer, so I blame the device for not working.
I sent it back to Amazon for a replacement. Like the gentleman in the "review" I have lots of old slides going back to the 50s or earlier.
Just give me the Amazon link of the product.
Does the thing have a memory card that you can remove? Well, scan a batch of photos, switch off, take the card, plug it on the computer.
I have a scanner similar to that one.
https://www.amazon.com/stores/DIGITNOW/FILMSCANNER/page/6A0D6E64-2544-4A21-A... The picture at the top right is the unit I bought. Apparently this outfit has a bunch of products, but I never heard of them before. Yes, it has a memory card, and I could put it in an adapter and then look at it on the computer, but that seems like a lot of work for a bunch of slides, many of which I would not want to copy. It is also not obvious how the card sequences pictures, etc. The instructions are extremely minimal. --doug
