- Oscar Becher, Film Archivist and Vault Manager at Vinegar Syndrome, dives into the fascinating history of analogue video production formats and video preservation.
Degausser Video is a brand new label created by several of the devious minds behind VS, which will bring to Blu-ray deluxe editions of both canonical and under-seen shot on video (SOV) genre cinema, in addition to work shot on film, but edited on tape, wherein the original film materials are believed to be lost or destroyed. Similar to Vinegar Syndrome's focus on FILM preservation, Degausser will work only from original analogue tape materials with an emphasis on maintaining the aesthetics inherent to each respective video format. Additionally, each title released by Degausser will be made available in an ultra limited "new" VHS edition, fitted in a custom designed hard shell light box. - Krátké a kreslené filmy
As a VHS collector and former video-store employee, I love this! Showing some love for the format (And be kind, rewind!)
this is the kid who would look everyone in the eye when he did his grade 5 presentation on Lincoln. Gold star performance good work Vinegar Joe
I totally missed my calling! I would have LOVED to get trained to work on restoring film. I find it completely interesting and I see the benefit of restoration for future generations. It’s so important. Glad there are folks that take this stuff seriously. As a fan of film, I’m glad we get entertainment but as a part of history, I’m glad these guys are building a library of clarity for others.
The lads getting smooth with his presentation ❤ Thankyou VS for giving us the "Black Room" (1981) another Section 3 title to tick off the list. 🇬🇧
Great to see another Oscar video 🤩, thanks for the lesson dude!
This was fascinating, educational, entertaining, and managed to do all three of those things super well. Great job to everyone involved!
fingers crossed that this means we might finally get The Granny (1995) on Blu.
16:12 - I lost my shit and had to rewind that segment about 10 times until I stopped laughing. Coming from an old school video store clerk myself, thank you. Thank you. And from the bottom of my heart and someone who LOVES SOV films from the 80s and 90s, thank you to VS for Degausser! We know you will do wonders for lost treasures in the same vein as Saturn's Core and Terror-Vision and with Oscar at the helm, there can be only gold on the horizon.
Also, please more Oscar videos. My wife has changed her opinion 180 degrees on watching film information-based videos now because of Oscar, David and Benjamin!
This is going to be my new favorite label.
This is so incredibly informative!!
I never knew I was so interested in this stuff until i watched this video! Now I sit here wishing it was longer! Awesome!
I love the middle school book report vibe. I really hope they keep making videos like this
As someone who is obsessed with SOV films I’m super excited!
Oscar is very knowledgeable and funny as hell . Good job and keep doing what you doing . Thank you 🤘
Fascinating
I remember the ACMI video lending library said not to rewind the tapes. They were all kept at the end of the tape in storage.
Great info, you just forgot 'Video 2000' the third home video format. At least in europe. It came latest and was defeated first. ^^
I love all of this. Thank you for taking the time to release this video. I can't wait!
awesome video, thank you
Great video thank you!!!!
Oscar strikes again! Thanks for another very informative and funny video. Very pumped for future Degausser releases.
Thank you for the tutorial. I wished my stupid ass would of had this instruction and history lesson when I was a kid. 😀
We had a beta when I was a kid, nobody else we knew had one. I remember talking to my dad later in life and he said everyone always wanted to borrow movies, well being the only person to own beta nobody would ever ask. I remember owning a lot of Disney films on beta, we ended up getting a vhs later on. But then we got a laser disc to replace it, yeah we had a hd dvd player as well. We seem to always be on the losing side of the format war, but overall I'm glad I was able to experience all these obsolete formats. Overall each one offered something new and different, I mean its the end of a era basically now. We will never have another format war again because everyone seems to love digital. I still only buy physical products, I do use streaming service and Apple music but i always buy the real product if available.
this rules!!!!
Thank you Oscar! Both informative and entertaining as usual! World class!
When will you start a rrgular show?
I always heard that you should store VHS tapes ”tails out”, meaning you should not rewind it until its time to rewatch. This to avoid that the magnrtic layers ”contaminate” eachother or so. True?
Also, here in sweden, and I guess europe, we had a bit of a different video system battle. We had mostly VHS vs VCC2000 from Philips. A system where you like a Compact Casette for audio could turn the video casette and get another 240 minutes of recording time. I think Philips and Grundig where making these players. I owndd 3. Very good picture and sound fast forwarding with stable image aswell as perfect freeze frame among much more. VHS won the battle for JVC mostly because the porn industry chose it as I know. Lol
Cheers and keep up the good work!
Very educational
480p feels like ep vhs feels like home
Long Live Beta Maxxx💙🐶💙🐶🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🌭🌭🌭🌭
Analog video tape doesn't have ones and zeros on it- it's got an analog signal, which is much more prone to noise. Also, why degauss your camera master tape on an important project?! I keep all mine (even the digital ones).
Good catch @photosurrealism! For VHS you’re absolutely right, analog signal. Not 0s and 1s. We could have made that a bit clearer. Thank you for watching! - Benjamin (editor)
@@benjaminsivo9298I think you did a good job editing it given what you had to work with, I’m just ultimately not sure what the point of this video even was in the first place. Is it meant to be informative? Or just funny? Promotional for the new sublabel? There are so many things here that are, at best, jumbled up half-facts… I would have a hard time recommending this video to anyone who wanted to learn about videotape.
Talking about DATs made me think of this line from the great poet KRS-One:
"They don't know that, all they know is that show DAT
That's Digital Audio Tape if you don't know that"
Also known to the Cinema Snob played by Brad Jones Shot on SHITTEO probably will be bringing Video Violence 1+2 or etc.
2:35 - ZEROES AND ONES are only for DIGITAL FORMATS, not for ANALOG formats.
that was wonderfully weird - like watching a VHS Freddy Getting Fingered
Wow it was interesting) I saw m9vies from 80,that was seemed to done on magnetic tape. Its not a low budget. Its tiny budget)
cant find one of those. Movie shot in Vegas. Many day shots of a city.
So has that mystery thing we ordered like a year ago been revealed?
Why Degausser Video? And what happened to VSL?
0:59 RTX 5090?
Actually, you could reduce the amounts of "actually"-s you actually use in the actual video.😅
what's the deal with Bing Crosby... was he just a convenient famous guy to create a stir with video tech? I thought it all came from the military anyways. some claim he was inventing this shit.
He championed the use of magnetic audio recording of his radio shows. From wiki: Ampex's first great success was a line of reel-to-reel tape recorders developed from the German wartime Magnetophon system at the behest of Bing Crosby
I love your how's it done videos, but please refrain from saying the word 'ACTUAL' so much.
Stop! to print slips from already sold out box sets (Angel), if not what's the point of overpay for box sets? 🤨
Boo hoo. Free market. Not sure wth it has to do with this video. Anyway, they could just keep everything out of print. For those of us who collect movies and don't give a rats ass about the packaging (at least as much), such a microscopic "problem".
For those really into Angel they got both because they were real fans that didn't wait for the box to sell out. Of course true fans want Angel 4 released but have a nice 2nd edition transfer to hold them over...just sayin'.
Back to the Oscar focus.
Great video!
