Hi IgorZ.
In SilverFast Ai Studio for the PrimeFilm XA Scanner, you can use the "Overview" function to adjust the scanning of your film. This is where you select which images to scan and which to skip.
Add them to the JobManager, adjust one frame and copy your settings or parts of it to the other images on the strip.
The overview dialog is also where you can correct film offset for the entire film strip, if necessary.
It takes some time to get used to the process, but then it should work fine - no matter if you wish to have most settings done automatically or frame by frame manually.
Hope that helps to get your batch scanning started...
timw4mail, if you're looking for only very basic scanning, Epson Scan might be sufficient for you. It does seem simpler on first sight, I agree. Once you get accustomed to SilverFast however, you'll notice that you can get better results in the same time. SilverFast looks complicated at first, but you'll notice that it's just a lot of different tools from which you can pick the ones that you'll need for your particular image. You don't have to use all of them for every image. There are a lot of different issues that pictures might have and you'll be happy to have the tools to correct them at some point. It's better to have than to be in need of... :D
I haven't used the Wolverine so far, but isn't it a digitizer, not a scanner as such? It's more like a low-res digital camera, isn't it?

Digitizing your film is something you really should consider in time. You may be in luck with the type of film you chose,
but the film will not look the same in a hundred years most likely. Perhaps the colors have completely faded by then.
Take a look at page 13 of this research on film persistence: Spain Paper
I can't tell if TIFF will still be around in 100 years, but TIFF is an open, non-proprietary format without any fancy encryption.
In my opinion, someone will be able to open those files...
