To determine the size of the take-up reel to use for your 8mm or Super 8 film, you need to consider the size of the film reel itself. Film reels come in three main sizes: 3 inches, 5 inches, and 7 inches. Here's how you can determine the appropriate size:
1. Check the size of your film reel. If it is 3 inches or 5 inches, use the 5-inch take-up reel (the smaller one). If your film is on a 7-inch reel, use the 7-inch take-up reel (the larger one).
2. Refer to the approximate recording details provided in the user manual for each reel size. This table will give you an idea of how long your film is and how long it will take to record:
Reel Size: 3 inch
Film length: 50 ft
How long to record: 25-35 mins
Run-time of Completed video: 2-3 mins
Reel Size: 5 inch
Film length: 200 ft
How long to record: 1hr 40 mins – 2.5 hours
Run-time of Completed video: 12-15 mins
Reel Size: 7 inch

How long to record: 3.5 hours – 4 hours 40 mins

By considering the size of your film reel and the approximate recording details, you can determine which size take-up reel to use for your conversion process.
