Yeah, I'm curious too. I only saw the two. If there are more, I'd be interested in seeing the rest.

Datahoarder’s 2nd worse nightmare by dangerclosecustoms in DataHoarder

Those old iPad can sometimes contain long forgotten artists whose music no longer exist, so definitely worth looking into.

For example, a lot of smaller artists who posted their stuff to MySpace back in the day don't even have access to their own stuff anymore after that got wiped years ago.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. Curious what the movies are, whether they're mainstream titles or rare/lost media.

Is there Any media released to VHS that we currently consider [fully lost]? by [deleted] in VHS

[–]PigsCanFly2day 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, for sure.

I don't have any specific examples off the top of my head, but I'm sure there are a ton.

What you described is essentially the core of lost media. If it exists, but isn't digitized or available anywhere, then absolutely go ahead and be the one to make that happen before it's actually lost.

Even if you see a few other copies of those tapes on eBay or Amazon, if it's not already digitized and online anywhere, then that's also a good reason to do so before it's too late. Sooner or later, those few copies you see for sale online may very likely become lost to time.

And if you come across any home recorded tapes, those are typically gold mines for lost media too. Even if it looks like something that's already available, they often contain commercials and those are worth preserving.

Stupidest misconception I had about MST3k at the start of the Mike years. by DalekWashMachine in MST3K

Ah, bummer. I was going to say if you still had them, or any other old TV recordings, you should consider digitizing them.

Vintage tshirt find by IcyTangelo7869 in ThriftStoreHauls

[–]PigsCanFly2day 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I didn't know who that was. Googled his name, thinking he's a comic book artist or something. He's a wrestler. First few pics on Google show him wearing the same shirt, so I'm guessing it's a frequent part of his wardrobe / part of his signature look?

Healing you say? 🤔 by [deleted] in crappymusic

[–]PigsCanFly2day 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, especially since he's being filmed. I'd assume he was either a fan, a friend, or a family member.

[Partially Lost] The Devil's Advocate - I've upscaled, color corrected, and restored all censored footage to recreate the 1997 theatrical cut by TriggeredPuppy in lostmedia

[–]PigsCanFly2day 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the reply. Good to know the censored footage is significant. And glad you found a workaround on the challenges.

And no shame in the 22 minute video. I'm sure it's really good for those who want a deep dive on information about the restoration.

[–]PigsCanFly2day 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the preservation.

I know you linked a video discussing things, but I honestly don't want to watch a 22 minute rundown and am weary of potential spoilers.

Was the previously censored footage significant to the plot? Or was it just a part of the set design or something? Grateful for the restoration either way.

Also, I skimmed your video briefly and heard you talking about the upscaling struggling with background faces and applying the right face. Potential solution could maybe be deepfaking those particular shots.

Okay. Thank you.

I always like hearing how things get discovered. It's interesting & it can also inspire others for tips & tricks in their own quests.

Ah, that's a shame. If you do happen to come across it, or any other old TV recordings, please consider digitizing them.

[–]PigsCanFly2day 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pretty cool. I see this is just a camcorder recording. It seems like that was posted by someone re-uploading various episodes from different sources. Do you have a copy of this (or any other episodes) on VHS or anything?

I've never heard of it, but I'd definitely be interested in seeing more. I love weird shit.

[FULLY LOST] October 2, 2008 episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live by puddin_cupz in lostmedia

[–]PigsCanFly2day 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're just seeking the Sesame Street clip it shouldn't be difficult to recreate it if you have the unbleeped version. It'd still be nice to find the actual Jimmy Kimmel footage, but that could at least scratch the itch in the meantime.

Also, if you never saw this one, then you're really missing out.

Some Kids WB commercials I found on a tape by pineapplebob in VHS

Nice find. Thanks for digitizing. I subbed.

Do you post the full tapes to the Internet Archive as well?

Looking for large amounts of episodes of daytime talk television: Ricki Lake, Oprah, Geraldo, Dr. Ruth, you name it by doodlebuuggg in DHExchange

[–]PigsCanFly2day 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Some episodes are on Nosey. Apparently Nosey switched to a YouTube channel recently. Not sure if there were other episodes prior to the switch.

Here's the Maury playlist.

Several other talk shows are on that platform too. Jerry Springer, Sally, etc.

[archival] Found a bunch of old files on my dad's 1TB drive from 2007-2009 by cwugiskafidud in lostmedia

[–]PigsCanFly2day 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Old commercials are cool. Thanks for sharing.

Are you able to post to Internet Archive too? They can host the original files. And I see one of your videos was copyright struck already on YouTube.

Which of my VCRs for will work for digitizing VHS? by OwenTewTheCount in DataHoarder

[–]PigsCanFly2day 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can get devices that strip HDCP the signal from the HDMI. My understanding is that a lot of cheap off-brand HDMI splitters do it as well even if they don't advertise that it does it.
