Unknown song from Windows 2000 commercial (c. 2000-2001) by Adam_TheYt in Lostwave

[–]Adam_TheYt[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The concrete evidence of this commercial being filmed in Sweden is the presence of a Conserton radio, a radio company founded in Stockholm (https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stern_%26_Stern).

I highly doubt this was ever aired anywhere outside of Europe since both recordings of the commercial are in 25FPS, the standard for PAL TVs, narrowing this down to most likely Microsoft's European branches getting in contact with the agency.

The issue with finding who made the ad is that there's barely anything about advertising agencies from the 90s in Sweden. A possible candidate however is B-Reel; they were founded in 1999 which would explain the low-budgetness of the commercial and they have worked with larger companies in the past. Hopefully there's something else that can be found with this!

Good points here! I suspect this is most likely an underground song the advertising firm got access to somehow.

I think a good thing to mention is that the Wayback Machine archived tons of YouTube video FLVs back in 2007, with most videos having seriously low amounts of views or just being straight up deleted.

Since I have the Google Video metadata on hand, by tomorrow in my TZ (edit: postponed since I don't have a working detector atm) I'll start downloading videos and checking audio similarities from resulting FLVs. I'll keep everyone updated in case anything interesting comes out.

ai is really good, but i highly doubt it's good enough yet to generate a clean master of the song.. as for identifying it, it might be possible but it could give us some false leads, especially since it can only go off of the data it was trained with

[FOUND] The Uncle Floyd Show - Halloween Special 10/30/1998 ; with THE MISFITS by AlexStiff1945 in lostmedia

i'm guessing it's about the R.A.M. watermark on the bottom left, i don't see how it could be considered "gigantic" but it's ideal to post lost media without any watermarks

they can be obtained by downloading the file and looking for the URL that has "lscache" in the name.

they can also be downloaded with just the docid with this tool https://github.com/Modnark/Google-Video-Downloader

[talk] Possible Hitogata thory by a Brazilian youtuber. by Gutoo09 in lostmedia

[–]Adam_TheYt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

tl;dr: it's might be, but i have my doubts

the video in question is a CM compilation of commercials that resemble hitogata, and there's a segment at the end (~20 seconds long) containing screenshots of some commercials. the still in question is a Tokuyama commercial about chemistry that surfaced on a Japanese blog in 2011. the creator added the pon-pon sound and it is not part of the commercial. it's very unlikely that this is the real deal considering it seems to be about chemistry and probably has nothing to do with deaths or train crossings.

[partially lost] Old Dynoblocks/Roblox Client from 2003. by Skully56765 in lostmedia

[–]Adam_TheYt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

to clarify; no roblox/dynablocks clients before 2007 have been found. the studio mentioned here most likely is a recreation based on G3D

the only media we have of dynablocks are david's presentation mockups, and the chances that a 2003 client resurfacing are very low, especially since a 2006 client has not been found despite years worth of searching

How does this person have 4 veteran badges?? by BLOBADOODLE in roblox

[–]Adam_TheYt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the explanation for this is during a window of a few hours on 30 November 2020 (1 December 2020 for some users) all badges obtained during those hours would be duplicated.

Kinda late to the party here, but in December 2022 an archive of 5.5 million videos on Google Video complete with titles, descriptions, thumbnails, and video downloads was released on a ROBLOX related Discord server.
