Hey ive been shooting a lot film with my canon super 8 camera and it stopped working recently and i lost a bunch of good footage because of it. It appears to run fine but when I put film in, it just rips the sprocket holes and doesnt advance the film at all. The wheel inside turns fine and the
To me this sounds like a problem with the individual film cartridge you are
using (like it is jammed somehow and the film can't move) and not the
camera. Have you tried using another cartridge?

I'd agree with the others..try another cartridge. The same thing happened
to me on a couple different cartridges I got from the same case...it seems
like a manufacturing defect made the hub seize up.

As I recall, seizing cartridges were a big problem when Ektachrome 100D
was first introduced and we even had a client who became so frustrated
that she threw her (admittedly crappy) camera in the Pacific when she
blamed it for ruining the shoot only to have the same problem with that
cartridge
I tryed 3 different cartridges and they all did the same thing

Ben,
You can see if those carts are seized by trying to pull down a few frames.
Hold the cartridge with the pressure plate (film) facing you and the label
side to your left (label text should be right side up), and try sliding a
few frames down
