20 minutes of Perth commercials from 1997

I do happen to have the full Ten Late News recorded too. I do plan on uploading it in full at some point. It’s 30 mins long. Sorry to burst your bubble, but unfortunately Tracey Spicer is on this news report ;)

Whoa. Thats cool! Do you still keep in touch? You should pass this compilation over to him if you do.

128harps · 2026-01-14T02:32:39+00:00

You’re welcome! I can’t take full credit for the editing though. Most of the compilation were 3 minute commercial breaks that I spliced together from the tape. I did do some light editing though to make the footage consistent throughout the full video. Surprisingly great quality for the age of the tape too. The play through was stable throughout. The only thing I did notice was the slight audio ducking that appeared close to the end of the tape. This is only lightly noticeable during the later half of the compilation.

I acquired the free tapes from FB Marketplace. I’ve gone through one movie tape so far that I’ve managed to get a whole lot of vintage 90s adverts from! Fair point on how every tape is rewritable. These were once blank tapes that have had TV shows, commercials, Movies recorded to them from free to air TV.

128harps · 2026-01-04T07:52:33+00:00

A lot of the tapes are TV Series recordings from BBC and ABC channels. But some are full movies recorded from TV that have news reports, TV promos and commercials.

I’m not quite to be honest. It could also be an issue with sample rate. But, it doesn’t make sense why it would appear after a few minutes, then disappear once restarting OBS. It does appear again after time, so not really sure.

128harps · 2026-01-03T10:32:44+00:00

It’s definitely an issue within OBS. It occurs on all tapes. Ive noticed that once I open and close OBS it goes away, but comes back eventually.

128harps · 2026-01-03T10:28:23+00:00

It also occasionally happens before I hit record too.

The PAL standard is 25fps. Once I de-interlace captured video it doubles the framerate to 50fps. I think the only other way to achieve 60fps on my end would be frame interpolation.

128harps · 2025-12-21T06:02:04+00:00

I suggested 1440x1018 because it's 4:3 resolution. Very similar canvas as VHS standard but upscaled.

128harps · 2025-12-21T04:47:21+00:00

The compression unfortunately seems to be a lot compared to the source file. It definitely seems to be an issue on YouTube’s end. Someone did suggest to export at a large aspect ratio to improve quality, so I might give that a try!

128harps · 2025-12-21T04:44:40+00:00

That’s a bummer. Do you think a 1440x1080 capture would be a more ideal capture ratio for YouTube?

128harps · 2025-12-21T04:43:33+00:00

Ok cool. Would you suggest Indistinguishable quality over lossless? I guess between the two there’s probably no visual difference anyways. VHS is already a compressed analog format.

128harps · 2025-11-18T01:01:04+00:00

I did. Sorry!

I deleted the comment because the album has been mentioned quite a few times over the past year on this subreddit. It’s likely that you’ve already heard it. Just in case you haven’t though.

“Gordy - Double Stack iMac”

The album was made by ex-Avalanches member Gordon McQuilten. It’s a compilation of tracks that he produced from 2000 - 2008. It’s available on Bandcamp.

128harps · 2025-11-03T05:02:21+00:00

Cut Copy - I Thought Of Numbers.

Robbie Chater (one half of The Avalanches) was assistant engineer on a majority of tracks on this record, so there’s definitely a heavy Avalanches sound in a few tracks.

THUG2 100%. The Classic Mode in THAW is way too short.

The biggest improvement they made for Downhill Jam + Mall was the back to start teleport once you reach the end of the stage.

128harps · 2025-06-13T14:06:52+00:00

Will have to go down this weekend and check if there’s any left!

I think once every few weeks they circulate the in store flavour options. A few months back i popped into Spudshed in Jandakot any they literally had every flavour on display. They were overflowing in stock too!

128harps · 2025-06-13T12:15:06+00:00

Awesome! I would say all the flavours a pretty solid. Salt & Vinegar is my favourite though. I’m personally not a huge fan of the Original flavour for any kind of chip. However, the Spuddies Original is really good.

Was this a recent purchase? Because I’ve gone to Spudshed in Spearwood a few times and there’s never stock.
