hello i have a 8mm film scanner - winait - and i have been capturing some footage from cine reels and happy with the quality but when i play the files back the motion seems faster than it should be :/ .... i have encoded them to 25fps from 30fps with not much joy in the playback speed .... can anyone help please

8 mm film is 18 fps silent, 24 fps with sound. So encoding the scan to 30 fps will show speed-up. (If you ever watched the silent newsreels you often experienced that effect).
I think the solution is to take the original scan - assume @18 fps - and duplicate every 6th frame. So you now have 24 fps. If you still require NTSC 30 fps you then apply pulldown to that. -
Super 8 mm is usually 18 fps but Standard 8 mm is most often 16 fps. Cameras have lower rates and sometimes people used them to save film. I scanned a lot of Standard 8 that was 12 fps.
If you are watching these scans on a modern digital device there is probably no reason to mess with pulldown and duplication. Just encode it to the correct frame rate. -

What kind of files come out of your Winait? Do you have access to the individual frames as a sequence of image files?

FFmpeg is a wonderful tool for those who overcome fear of the command line.
Code:ffmpeg -r 18 -i myinput.mp4 -c copy myoutput.mp4
