Cine Film to Video Professional Suite - Version 3.1Cine Film to Video Professional Suite - Version 3.1
Cine Film to Video Professional Suite is a development based on Microsoft C# with .NET 4.6.1 (or better).
It requires Windows 7 or better.
(if you still run the unsupported Windows XP (supporting only .NET 4.0), try to use the old JAVA Application CineToVid (see below).
CineToVid is no longer maintained and there is no support available and therefore it is not granted, that CineToVid still works propperly.
CineToVidPro allows to digitize 8mm, 9,5 mm (Pathé) and 16 mm cine films utilizing a good photo flatbed scanner.
For 16 mm cine films it allows in addition the digitization of the optical sound track (mono or stereo) if existing with a sample rate of 48 kHz.
CineToVidPro is the base product. It's main task is the extraction (and optionally sharpening) of the frames of a scanned film strip.
In addition CineToVidPro controls a number of supporting products, so that all relevant tasks of a digitization project can be controlled from
a central place.
Included (since August 2012) is also ImagePan. ImagePan provides pan shot generation form still images. These pan shots can be integrated in movies generated
with CineToVidPro.

CineFrameGrabber - Version 1.0
CineFrameGrabber is an application developed with Microsoft C# and .NET 4.5 and Accord .NET 3.8.
It allows by exploiting a digital Microscope (or a similar video recording device) to digitize 8mm, 9,5 mm (Pathé) and 16mm
cine films.
CineFrameGrabber needs Windows 7 or better. Microsoft .NET 4.5 or better must also be installed.
CineFrameGrabber catches the frames of a cine film presented via a digital microscope.
To do this, you need a special hardware to transport the cine film. This hardware unfortunately cannot be bought.
It must be manufactured by yourself. What is needed to built this hardware is described in detail in the product help file.
Hint: The CineFrameGrabber is a follow up product of CineFrameCatcher which is offered below,
but the development of the CineFrameCatcher will not be continued.

CineFrameCatcher - Version 1.4
CineFrameCatcher is an application developed with Microsoft C# and .NET 4.6.1.
It allows by exploiting a digital Microscope (or a similar video recording device) to digitize 8mm, 9,5 mm (Pathé) and 16mm
cine films.
CineFrameCatcher needs Windows 7 or better.
CineFrameCatcher catches the frames of a cine film as screenshots of videos, presented via a digital microscope.
To do this, you need a special hardware to transüport the cine film. This hardware unfortunately cannot be bought.
It must be manufactured by yourself. What is needed to built this hardware is described in detail in the product help file.

1. The error, that PNG images have been noz saved has been corrected.
2. After the end of a catching sequence the catching can be continued via the catching end dialog window -
the start point can be determined via the System Open File Dialog.
3. A new function has been implemented to recognize transport problems caused for instance by defective sprocket holes.
CineFrameCleaner - Version 1.0
CineFrameCleaner is a development based on Microsoft C# with .NET 4.6.1 or later.
CineFrameCleaner allows it, to analyze images caught with the CineFrameCatcher (or other image grabbing tools) from 8mm, 9,5 mm (Pathé) or 16mm cine films
and to clean these images from dust and fluf.
CineFrameCleaner needs Windows 7 or better.
CineFrameCleaner analyzes the frames, that are stored into an image folder. If they contain dust spots and/or fluff it replaces such "dirty" areas with the colors taken from the identical position in the previous or following frame, so that this dirty areas no longer disturb the video created from these images.
Unfortunately this process cannot be automated completely, because the definition of that, what should be identified as dirt is extremely difficult
and so far there do not exist sufficiently precise analysis criteria. Therefore the detection of potential dirt and fluff has (still) to be done visually.

Cine Strip Scanner Version 2.0"CineStripScanner" is a programm that supports the scanning of cine film strips exploiting a flatbed scanner. The program was developed with C# and .NET 4.6 and is working also under Windows 10 (32 and 64 Bit) without problems. It can functionally replace the ScanController because the ScanController under Windows 10 sometimes creates problems.

Some changes applied. Allows changing the USM parameters more easily as well as modification of selected file during USM parameter definition.
Cine Film to Video Suite Version 5Annotation: The Java based Cine Film to Video Suite will not be enhanced anymore starting August 2011. The product is replaced by the new Cine Film to Video Professional Suite - see above.
The Cine Film Frame Extractor allows to extract the frames of a cine film
in order to generate a video file, that can be shown on a Personal Computer
with a MultiMedia Player.
CineToVid has since version 2 a native movie generator
, but additional programs can be used to generate the movie file. To show the
movie a MultiMedia Player is needed.
CineToVid functions as a control center to coordinate the exploitation of these
additionally supported external programs.
The Cine Film Image Cleaner (ImageCleaner) is a tool that supports and eases the cleaning of scanned cine film strips from dust and dirt spots, the Cine Film Image Stabilizer (ImgStb) is a tool, that supports the stabilization of blured scenes in a Super 8 cine film, and the Cine Film Image Sharpener (CineSharp) is a tool, that allows to sharpen a series of JPG images according to custom defined sharpening criterias. This may be desireable if the sharpening of the frames was not good enough during scanning of the strips.
CineToVid, ImageCleaner, and ImgStb are Java applications, you therefore need
a SUN Java Runtime Environment JRE 1.6.0 or better. In addition you need the
SUN Java Media Framework JMF 2.1.1e or better.
CineSharp is a C# ( C sharp) tool and needs the Microsoft .NET V3.5 SP1 execution environment.
To generate the AVI file and to watch the generated movies you can exploit external programs. To generate the AVI file "SSMM" Version 3.7 or better from Joern Thiemann, VirtualDub, or AviDemux can be used. All programs are currently (02/2006) freeware. To encode/decode the AVI file with external movie generators I recommend DivX. As a multimedia player the "Windows MediaPlayer" is a good choice.
KC Softwares has released in September 2005 version 2 of PhotoToFilm.
PhotoToFilm is a program, that already can be used together with CineToVid. But version
2 at the moment is lacking some functions to make the usage really integrated. These
functions are planned for future versions.
Until these functions are implemented, you can use PhotoToFilm V2 as an easy to
use program to generate Photo shows with integrated sound.

If you cannot afford the amount of time needed to transfer your cine films with the scanner method, I recommend the only method for amateurs, that yields very good results. For details see the page of Mr Fälker (unfortunately German only) and the page listing the required TeleCine Components.
Some hints in case you consider to digitize your Super 8 movies:
JADE Integrated Development EnvironmentThe JADE Integrated Development Environment is a lightweight development environment that supports the coding and testing of Java programs. JadeIDE itself is written in Java to be platform independent.
The tool allows the definition and storage of parameters which support the invocation of a code editor, a HTML editor, a XML Editor, a Java compiler, Java applications, and Java applets. In addition the tool supports the invocation of JiveLint (a static Code Checker from Sureshot), the UML Editor UMLet from the Vienna University of Technology, and the display of Java API and Java Doc files with the browser of your choice. Code templates for new classes (including individually customized templates for windows with menu bars and dialog frames) as well as HTML files for applet invocation can be generated.
Before using the product please accept the license agreement you will find in the file downloaded or which you can read here.
The code has been used and tested under Windows98, Win2000 and SUSE Linux 8.2 with KDE3 but should be also useable on other platforms providing a standard Java Virtual Machine (e.g. provided by a JRE or JDK). There might be problems with the GUI on platforms not tested. Therefore any comments about problems and recommended improvements are welcome.

JadeMOD - Java Application Modeller
The JADE Application Modeller is a tool that allows comprehensive and consistent
specification of a business domain in an object oriented manner.
The tool allows to document a) the organization hierarchy of an enterprise, b) the
existing business objects (documents, products, parties,...) in a structured and redundancy
free form, and c) the existing business procedures and their relationships to the
defined business objects.
As far as possible the model diagrams are generated and arranged automatically in
order to avoid lengthy arrangement activities.
For the modelled business objects the tool allows to generate Java code templates.
The JADE Application Modeller may be enhanced by new functions in the future if
there are features fitting into the concept of JadeMOD requested by JadeMOD users.
Before using the code please accept the license agreement you will find in the file downloaded or which you can read here.
The code has been used and tested under Win32 and Suse Linux 8.2 but should be also useable on other platforms providing a standard java virtual machine (JRE or JDK).

ApplyExif - a tool to apply camera specific EXIF information to scanned images.
The ApplyExif tool allows to take a sample image of a digital still camera as a template and to
apply the manufacturer specific EXIF information to JFIF type JPEG images (e.g. images scanned with a flatbed scanner).
You can transfer the converted image to the storage chip of your digital still camera in order to use this camera as a
mini-photoalbum or you can use it as device to show the images on a TV set that provides this function.
This may work with all types of digital still cameras but tested have been so far only some Canon cameras. If you have been
successfull with other types of cameras, please tell it to me in a short message via the support E-Mail address.
The tool is written in Java, you therefore need the SUN JAVA Runtime Environment Version 1.6 (or better), that can be downloaded form the Sun Java site.
Details about the manufacturer specific EXIF information entries can be found via the the homepage of Ger Vermeulen.
The code has been developed and tested under Windows XP but should also work under Windows Vista and Linux.
Download the ApplyExif tool (file ApplyExif.zip - 41,5 KB (42.597 Bytes))
Latest update: April 8, 2008 (Version 1.05 - April 2008) The integration with GExifView from Ger Vermeulen has been improved. The time stamp now can be set individual. The EXIF fields DateTime Original and DateTime Digitized now also are set to the selected image time stamp. The Copyright notice can be set (if the camera manufacturer has the field provided) and a user comment can be set in the appropriate EXIF field.

DustRemover - a tool to remove dust an fluff from scanned images of transparencies.
The DustRemover is a program that is specialized to remove such dust and fluff that has been scanned together with
the image itself when digitizing an analogue image using a flatbed scanner.
It is almost impossible to keep a flatbed scanner absolutely clean, and therefore there are always tiny little dark lines
and spots (normally only a view pixel wide) which can be very disturbing if you view the image in full resolution.
The higher the resolution of a scanned image is, the more disturbing are these little artefacts.
The DustRemover is designed to remove such small artefacts. The colour of the pixels of the dirt spots is changed to
the average colour of the surrounding pixels. To do this, the tool provides two types of brushes, a drag brush and a
copy paste brush. The brushes can have a width between 1 and 19 pixels.
The tool is written in C# exploiting the .NET 4.0 Library. It therefore only can be used under Windows( XP, Vista, 7) 32 Bit or 64 Bit.
The code has been developed and tested under Windows 7 64 Bit but should also work under Windows Vista and Windows XP.

RenumFiles - renumber/rename a series of files with identical file type
With the RenumFiles tool you can resort, renumber and/or rename a series of files with identical file type.
Individual name modifications are also supported. Image files are presented as thumbnails to ease name finding.
The filename can be built from 3 optional components. the old file name, a literal as prefix or suffix, and a sequence number
with s selectable step width. If the old filename contains numbers, these numbers can be eliminated.
The position of the name components (left, center, right) can be freely choosen.
The tool is written in C# and .NET . It therefore only can be exploited under Windows( XP, Vista, 7 ).
Download the RenumFiles tool (File RenumberFiles.zip - 121 KB (123.970 Bytes))
To install the tool, unpack the ZIP file and store the resulting "Renumber.EXE" file in the Windows program directory.
This directory will also contain the files "RenumberINI.txt" and "RenumberPfeil.bmp".
Then create a link (e.g. on the desktop) for a fast invocation of the utility.
