No idea what is this website but it seems to be some kind of p2p, and your PC is peering the video too. The quality of this video is horrendous, I can barely see the animation; it seems like film artifacts combined with VHS artifacts combined with MPEG artifacts on top of each other. I would think Archive.org will have it in a better quality. edit: ah it seems archive.org has the same one, maybe slightly better but not much edit2: seems like much better version here https://archive.org/details/popeye-the-sailor-meets-ali-babas-forty-thieves-1937 https://archive.org/details/popeye-the-sailor-meets-ali-baba... edit3: there is a dead comment below me that links 1080p on youtube

Or Youtube at 1080, different intro though - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmBCu1N1cTY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmBCu1N1cTY > and your PC is peering the video too. I don't see how this would be possible, but I guess I don't know why it can't be - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PeerTube https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PeerTube It's not like I chose what IP my video conference goes to and video conferencing is just arbitrary data.

  Definitely a good fediverse example: https://joinpeertube.org/ https://joinpeertube.org/. You can even do live streaming now.

"The quality of this video is horrendous, I can barely see the animation; it seems like film artifacts combined with VHS artifacts" Agreed, one wonders what happened to the original negatives. It's years ago now, but I recall seeing a Technicolor Warner Bros Bugs Bunny/Sylvester cartoon made around 1940-'43 and I was simply dazzled by the color. I remember a scene where Bugs and Sylvester were playing pool and the yellow of the overhead shaded lights shone down on the green pool table and the color was simply magnificent—full tonal shading, the lot. A great deal of work went into color films of that era, they were pre-Eastman color negative so the masters were tri-separation B&W masters so the color could be very finely tweaked. As color was new back then film producers took great care, and as I said, the results were often spectacular. Those tri-seps must still be somewhere. I cannot understand why they haven't been re-released. If you've seen the digital remastering of say The Wizard of Oz (1939) you'll have some idea of how excellent those cartoons looked in their heyday. If you're not familiar with the pre-Eastman Technicolor tri-separations it's important to realize that as the negatives are all B&W and shot through RGB filters there are no color dyes to fade in storage, color is recreated afresh every time a new print is made from the negs. That changed around 1947 when Eastman color negative stock was released, as it contained color couplers those color negatives were subject to fade and many early post-War color films now look terrible they've deteriorated so much. BTW, you'll probably recognize Eastman color, it was the forerunnt of that orangy color negative we had in the pre-digital era, Kodacolor, etc.
