[Frameworks] ekta cartridge problem?

[Roger D. Wilson]

Is this a Kodak cartridge? It's not unusual to have the odd cartridge wound to tight on its core and the camera have problems running the film through at a steady rate. They would start off ok but the longer the shot the camera would start to struggle with advancing film. You use to be able to send these cartridges back to Kodak for a replacement because they new it was an issue. Unfortunately if it is Kodak then I am  assuming you got it somewhere else? Or it's an old roll?

                   hey folks   
 just ran two rolls of ektachrome super 8 through the camera (pretty reliable canon autozoom); first one ran through fine; the second one showed no sign of getting to the end of the roll, long past the camera footage counter indicated it should have run out - if i take the cartridge out, put a sharpie mark on the film at the gate, try running the cartridge in the camera and check the gate again, the mark is gone, suggesting that the film is running through the camera ... any clues?  i'm guessing i should probably re-shoot, but if anyone else has had this problem and has any tips that would be great (i'll be using ekta again for the re-shoot)   
 cheers all round
