Yes, on a flatbed scanner (I use a Epson 4990), it can be set up to crop out 
as many frames that are in the film holder.

That's how I'm doing it now. Can you spell tedious...?

The Nikon 5000 is a dedicated 35mm scanner that accepts film strips or an 
entire uncut roll of film.

My desire is to have a "set it and forget it" way to scan and stitch 
together an entire roll at the higher resolution possible with a dedicated 
film scanner.

I wish that Hamrick would do it. I wrote the company about it but apparently 
it fell on deaf ears. This company is notoriously bad IMHO when it comes to 
customer support -- they basically tell you on their support web page that 
they don't answer e-mail with questions any more complicated then "how do 
you spell VueScan?"

So, if I want something like this then I guess I'm going to have to do it 
myself.

Dave.
