[Grogospeak] How to submit your film

[Clara.]

Actually, apparently, I'm totally wrong.  The nifty film scanner is not so 
nifty that it'll just scan a roll in one go.  Cut your film.  Cut it good. 
(Whereby good, I mean into fives.)  Shows you what happens when you just 
glance at the specs.  ...and write instructions without trying it out 
yourself...

The scan-entire-roll thing requires an adapter that I don't think we have.
