RETRO TECH: CAMCORDER
Vložit
- čas přidán 1. 12. 2019
- The JVC GR-C1 Camcorder was the first all-in-one handheld video camera. I trace the history of homemade videos back to the release of this iconic piece of tech and shows how its popularity led to the videos we watch on CZcams today. Fellow CZcams creator Casey Neistat shows me how to film and edit videos on this piece of retro tech. Spoiler alert: It’s not easy.

“MKBSD”. My favorite part of this video.
“Hey guys, MKB... SD here,”
This video should be viewed in 240p for authenticity
15:19 marques being an e-girl
Ash XD lol
MrRottensalad i have black vegana
I never thought I would hear Marques saying MKBSD
This is a good one
Timestamp?
Dude how did you comment this BEFORE THE VIDEO CAME OUT
Marques in 10 years MKB16K
lol
I was born in 71' and watched my dad sitting for hours at the dining table after work splicing 8 mm film into edits, so on the weekend the family could watch home movies on our projector in the basement. He had several VHS and then DV cameras after that as well. Most of them eventually ended up with me, shooting skateboard videos or stop motion movies with my sister (my action figures and her Barbies). I'm a 3D animator and travel filmmaker now.
You had great memories
Good that you mention this, that is something they forgot to mention in the show, that there was already a home movie format available before the vcr and camcorders. The camcorder of course revolutionized home movie making further.
@@rainmanred film was so expensive! He belonged to film club where mail your film in to be processed. It would take weeks to get it back.
There are another 99 thousand 999 people who also had film and video cameras in their home when they were kids, and they did not become filmmakers.
@@TinLeadHammer yes, they didn't have my dad as a dad. It goes to show the equipment isn't what inspires people.
I was born in 1984, when I was about 10 my father gifted me a VHS recorder he had been using to film commercials for his little advertising company he started. My brother and I went on to film countless movies, skits and videos. This really brought back memories
That must've been cool as hell. This thing changed the game.

best thing about this series is gonna be the appreciation for all the tech that everyone takes for granted today
underrated comment...glad that you got a heart from MKBHD
😱OMG!MKBHD LIKED A COMMENT WOW
This is the camera that everyone pulls out when they see a UFO
That was good..very accurate😂
this video of Marques can go easily as a documentary of an "UFO" - this being the JVC video recorder for the today young generation - and this is how history is written
You made my day... 😂😂😂
Very good Haha
Seems like this is the only way to see one
so, Rent-A-Friend was just Dora The Explorer for adults
"I might have to look at the instructions." No truer words were ever spoken.
Always has been
Best tech reviewer.
No extraneous silly goofy crap.
He gets to the point.
He's also very likeable.
*No one knows he juggles kittens at an underground speakeasy in his spare time.
I like how he incorporates the funny little by little. Not allowing it to taint his content.
"am i just here because im old?"
yes, but we love you Casey
The last thing I ever expected to see in my life is Marques doing an Aheago face
15:20
@Christian William cursed comments 101
"That's the nicest way someone has ever called me an old guy." Oof, I feel that Casey.
"and instead of 1000 subscribers maybe I want 1.3 million subscribers, I don't know..."
Said the boy who's now one of the best tech reviewers on CZcams with more than 13 million subscribers.
Dope 👏🏻
“Hey guys MKB...SD Here”
😂😂
Oh man that line made me laugh SO hard! ;)
Bro you are adicted to making comments on mkbhd channel, admit it
MC Inácio wym lmao
Funny thing is if it was MKBSD, these comments would be nonexistent, or this would be a dial-up BBS chat.
What about MKBUHD? That would make more sense.
This was pure magic.
Casey getting his midlifecrisis, the most terrifying horror performance, just the right amount of retro vibe due to the actuall footage. 100/10
Marques: recording a vid on how to be a youtuber in the 85
Also Marques: *wears apple watch*
Ah yes he is a time traveler
It kills me that I'm old enough to not only have been alive but old enough to REMEMBER all those camcorders because I did a LOT of research before purchasing my first camcorder back in the early '90s. I still own that same camcorder today along with about a hundred different others I've accumulated throughout the years!
Your profile pic looks like a 40 year old man in mid 80s or 90s
@@tonivoul1971 My profile pic is from when the internet was in its infancy back in 98 or 99, for MySpace. I still think it's the best 'mug shot' I have ever taken so I still use it.
@@scottls cool
@@scottls Except Myspace didn't exist in the 90's. It launched in 2003 and I personally started using it around 2005.
Marques: Dresses like the 1980's, to give that atmosphere
Also Marques: wears Apple Watch during recording
A don't of continuity
Lol
He has been using Apple watch for 30-40 years now😂🎅😂
Casio F91W missing!
0@ y60
Casey: But Marques we’re dressed like its 2019, we need to take this one step further.
Meanwhile: Records the video in front of 12 flat screen TVs.
It's in front of a closet with black doors
he has his apple watch on aswell
To be fair, flat screen TVs were actually around since the 70s! They were just not mainstream yet.
actually they're 12 crt monitor
Tbh, what irritated me the most out of that bit is that nobody in the 80s would actually dress like that... (meaning with an untucked shirt and a tie which is hanging low). If you are gonna dress like the 80s, then actually do that. What you dressed like in this video is an 18-year-old going to a party in 2010. Now that I'm done with my rant let me just add that the video was great otherwise - quality content. 😁 Cheers!
Don’t: Eat while recording
*Mukbang has left the chat*
😂🤣😆 Those disgusting nasty motherfuckers
Aran Rasekhi man you got some issues
Aran Rasekhi Lmao
@Aran Rasekhi You're just jealous because he's got reputation and funny content, unlike me or you.
@Aran Rasekhi Why should I? This was a grammatically correct, coherent and conveying English sentence; I know how to write and speak in English at an upper intermediate level. And yes, the 'have got' thing exists, at least in British English. There are other dialects of English that have noticeable grammatical differences compared to the American dialect.
But this doesn't change the fact that you're an insecure person who tries to attack everyone and everything around him with pathetic excuses.
At this point, I honestly don't care. I'm out and I never want to see you again in those comment sections I write comments into.
P.S.: This is how an incoherent, grammatically incorrect CZcams comment looks like, written by a typical foreign CZcams user whose native language is not English:
"Your just a stoopid person whit no expiriens in tek, you cant critisiz Markees, you dosent now eniting about tek, REEEEEEEEEEEE!!!"
This is awesome and definitely brought memories for myself as well. I'm 54 and I was first able to get my hand on these in the early 90s. To me the significance of these is that it allowed memories of people close to you that may be already gone to stay alive more than just pictures can, especially in those days before the digital era. My wife passed away from cancer 7 years ago but I have many vhs-c and hi 8mm movies of us and when our kids where younger and it never fails to bring me joy every time I watch them
Casey: how many gigs is this?
Marques: gigs, hah!
A vhs tape using a somewhat obscure piece of computer hardware from the 90s is capable of storing 700mb to 4gb of data depending on compression settings and what size tape is used. :).
Foxontherun2 true but we’re dealing with an older variant from the mid 1980s, not 1990s. So it’d probably be more like 250-500mb
Foxontherun2 you mean DDS?
SirJeff no, DDS was the data storage version of DAT.
A vhs can be used in a similar way and can store about 2-4GB of data. There where some backup programs for computers that had composite video output and input connectors for connecting to VHS recorders.
It was not very time efficient or a good way to backup, but it was cheap and could use readily available tapes.
But since they record an analog video the quality is very low.
They released D-VHS in the late 90s that had improved magnetic tape and recorded digitally, they contained video up to 1080i. It was based on newer recording techniques but the same mechanism.
Christoffer Wiig interesting. Is there a specific name for the format? Or just it use standard VHS tapes? Like how a Commodore 64 uses a compact cassette with program data?
Imagine how many Christmas home movies were made on this thing
and porn
or a mix of the two..
Best three comments above ^
@@pandapolygon I think he meant porn by home videos 😅
16:36 Laughed so hard at this lady sitting casually looking like hannibal lecter
Same here 😂🤣
LMFAO
I'm watching this the second time and I have to say:
We owe everything to the first analog cameras, to the technological advancement for the beauty of photography we have today.
It's simply incredible how far we've come in the camera technology over this short amount of time. Professional cameras in our phones now. Just incredible.
Thank you Marques for sharing this knowledge with us.

This is an underrated comment.

that is already a thing
@@DiegoRuggeri by 2040 AI will make it's own AI and entertain itelf
Holyy shit.
I’m obsessed with these retro tech episodes!
I love these retro-tech videos! I was born in ‘85 but I remember the home movies my dad made on that camcorder, and how I was forbidden to touch it lol
My first Time watching any "CZcams Original"
VSauce MindField is the only other one worth watching IMO.
This one is great too though
@@orion10x10 The Slo Mo Show was also great
Same
Scare PewDiePie was great
@@s_steadman Season 2 even better
Casey: "How many gigabytes does this have?"
Marques: "Gigabytes?"
A normal VHS tape can store up to 2 gigs or so of data. A data formatted VHS tape for tape storage or security systems could store up to 80 to 200 gigs of data. Old computer systems used to back up data Like sales data for a store etc were common cause you only needed the data if there was major screw up. Some tape storage today can store up to 10 terebytes on a single tape cartridge. But it can take a long time to READ the data stored on them. So its meant as a system for if you need lots of storage JUST IN CASE or for ARCHIVING but dont need to access in super fast. Lots of governments still used tape based storage.

Is Casey Linus' brother? Am i the only one seeing the resemblance?
This guy just puts “retro” ahead of every word.. wtf
@@johnnybgoode2540 i think that dispelling misinformation is more important than a dumb zoomer 'joke'
When you think about it, this is actually a brilliant idea.
It’s so trippy seeing marques’ super modern studio in the retro quality of that camera

Oh my god seeing Marquez grow up in those video snippets is kinda sooooooo adorable
This series is really great. Really enjoying the journey appreciating how far we have come in terms of technology and ease of use and conveninece when it comes to our daily lives
Young Marques looks like a cgi version of current Marques.
Saa dii it's his own version of Gemini Man
Bruh
3:00 “Whats good with all the STD stuff...maybe something about the 80s”
Hahahah wow 😭😭
I can't tell if he did that intentionally or not lol
This was epic video and brings back so many memories. We are still at the beginning of all this stuff. The history is phenomenal and we can all appreciate it.
Don’t forget to write a comment on a piece of paper, and put it in an envelope, and put a stamp on it lmao
3:01
“what is it us with getting STD’s on all these”
Marquess 2019.
For some reason my brain processed DST
I was asking myself if i head right. Did i really hear STD as in Sexually.......
well the 80s were the age of stds
how everyone became boomers I guess
Sploog.
3:26 He said "Wow" like Owen Wilson lol
The footage that comes out of that camera has such a good vibe. Makes everything look so nice.
Really appreciate the effort and time to come back with this old technology 🥰💯♥️👍
This was the 1st CZcams premium show I've watched. Most of the premium stuff doesn't interest me. Thank you for this episode and hope for more 😎
Highly recommend Mind Field by vsause.
@@Piisoni Mind Feild is awesome!
Yep. It's this kinda thing that's gonna propel him to 10M subs before Linus ^_^
me too bro i'd probably buy youtube premium just to watch this show
All 6 are episodes are out. You should also try Cobra-Kai btw😎
7:38
"Am I here because of my advanced age?"
The "comment tip" cracked me up! :D
All this old tech makes me appreciate every new tech that i have
" feel free to write a comment in a piece of paper...." ... So hilarious
Edosa Leta oi
I'm so happy that Marques has come this far from where he started.
Please keep doing these videos! I love watching reviews on older tech
0:11 OMG Marques looks so cute. 😂🤣😆
Imagine getting a mail that says : "First "
Or through FAX
😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
Not a but many.
A mail? A letter in the mail...? Don't tell me you honestly didn't know that?
This series is one of the dopest series online. They should air these on other tv platforms.
retro has a big place in my heart.
I could watch this over and over and never get tired of it, soooooo cool
I love how when he said “RETRO TECH” he actually put “RETRO” clips of him
That is very NICE DETAIL
Woooww didn’t notice!!!!!!!!
Not retro that's forsure.

I used to love these as a kid! We have them at my home, I liked to play news caster and my mom would film me. We still have all those old tapes that are a bit cumbersome to move out.
The thing about things filmed on the physical media is the fact that once the physical media has been used, too much playback, too much and as older, there’s no way to get the footage or photos out anymore. As opposed to nowadays, you can just make copies of many things on a drive and put it on the cloud and you’ll have some thing for a while if not forever. Which makes me wonder how many lost home movies there actually is from back in the day just kind of lost.
"Hey, guys. MKBSD here"
I Laughed way to much at that. Hahahha..
"I might have to look at the instructions." No truer words were ever spoken.
By far the most pleasant video I've watched this year. Brought me back. Thank you MKBHD.
I funkin love seeing shots of baby Marques!!
The last part of the video is so beautiful, since a kid you’ve had big dreams, and you already made them reality, thanks for this great series.
My husband has one of these. Our 6 year old now collects all “old school” technology that includes a VCR and Polaroid camera. His room looks like an abandoned office from the 80s.
Did y'all make sure to erase any tapes that were with the camcorder lol
Hi have a nice day hahaha! Um yeah only family videos.
Awesome

Yees!
clarice?
I think it’s amazing how the quality of the videos with that tech is still relevant and beautiful today. In its own way.
I remember all of those camcorders. I was an 80s kid. That came out when I was 12 years old. That is so cool to see that again

Watching this series hits different at 2 AM.
This series is so informative and absolutely hilarious ! Excited for the next season!
Watching this, I appreciate it even more how my Grandfather started our family home videos in the 1950s..
They weren’t videos. They were film.
@@MattSezer - Reproduced to videos then to CD a few years ago. I'm not sure why I have to explain why I say things how I do.. But that's why I said "Video".
You are correct though.
@Omega - I'm glad to hear that! How cook is it seeing how the family live back then :)
@@MattSezer Indeed. In the 1950s the only question would have been 8mm or 16mm film? In the consumer space, most likely 8mm.
"Am I just here because of my advanced age???" Best quote
These are my favorite videos on the channel. Please do more Retro tech and things in a similar fashion. Keep up the great content.
It's amazing how the team find all the people and put things together into series, professional and highly invested 👍
