Ha I have fond memories of Iomega drives... The Zip was probably the only storage device in computer history which could get a hardware virus... the dreaded 'click of death', I remember at college it would happen to someone's disk and they'd try it in another machine, and the damaged disk would brea...

Yeah it's really easy to delete.

I'm not 100% sure but I get the distinct impression that if you compress the video as a flash FLV movie rather than uploading a quicktime or mpg or whatever it doesn't re-compress? Or at least seems to look better in my experience.

Interesting find! Might be worth messaging the seller (and/or other TW film ebayers) to see if they have any leads?

I guess you could do it with normal 16mm but instead of turning it over you'd have to take it out of the camera and rewind it, then mask off the top instead of the bottom of the gate (or vice versa)...

I don't think it's doing anything to your image other than keeping it centered. Yes but that involves completely re-rendering every frame with sub-pixel movements I imagine, so it's definitely changing the image not just shifting it.

Interesting find for sure! Always amazing to see historical colour footage. The guy who uploaded it has a somewhat worrying combination of videos, politically speaking, but actually one of the others is relevent to this board; the video for black metal act Burzum's "Dunkelheit", which was ...
