- qingcharles 3y agoThat's a great video. This hardware is incredible. It's somewhat like the difference between RAW and JPG. We can properly rip LDs now.
- Maxious 3y agoThere's a fork of the same software decoder (to be covered in video part 2) that does VHS tape signal instead https://github.com/oyvindln/vhs-decode https://github.com/oyvindln/vhs-decode
- keybpo 3y agoPt. 2 will be the software side of this (Domesday) project, not the vhs-decode. Software is considerably more complex and nuanced than capturing and why he decided to make a 2-part video for a deeper dive. I'm hoping he does vhs-decode too, it's far more accessible and potentially can bring the attention to more people as this also serves many's personal purposes of having a digital master of their home tapes (and not necessarily or exclusively preserving [no longer available] commercial media.
- zeristor 3y agoNot quite, I did a search inspired by Tim Harford’s Cautionary Tales podcast, Laser vs Parchment: https://timharford.com/2023/11/cautionary-tales-laser-versus-parchment-doomsday-for-the-disc/ https://timharford.com/2023/11/cautionary-tales-laser-versus... Which contrasted this with the Windrush scandal where the Home Office destroyed the legal documents of people welcomed from the Caribbean in the Sixties, and in their absence started to deport them. Update: that is an excellent video, setting the context of the problem and walking through the fix. I doubt I would have found it.
- zeristor 3y agoIt’s handy to remove the “si” field from YouTube videos, it looks to be tracing.
- nullindividual 3y agoDid not know that, thank you!
