Fingers crossed that the colourisation process makes something good from the TTC archives which they kindly let us use decades ago, arranged by my late friend and fellow enthusiast John F Bromley of Scarborough , Ontario. A font of all knowledge on the Toronto tram / street car scene. Hopefully it won't take so long to process as I picked a conversion to a standard HD format not the superb but huge 600gb file when I did the Liverpool archive. When ready it will go on to Youtube in several postings and also as a download on the shop. I'll then experiment with my early video and convert that so it is de-interlaced, 60 fps and HD, something that several of you have been asking. The 'clean' up phase takes several hours but seems worth it with the old cine. Lets hop it lends something to the quality of Video8 and Hi8. I found that the super computer doesn't do downloads with a capture card which is what I told the people putting it together that it needed a storm card or similar. Anyway rather then mess about I have ordered an extra monitor screen and will use the old computer to download the 'composite' ie non digital formats from tapes. It handled that well and I can be doing it while I'm working on the big computer with tasks more suited to its huge processing power. I suppose I'm getting where I wanted to be, I know it goes over a lot of heads but worldwide there is a shedload of people all working along the same lines. Tonight some more shots from Muckley Corner, tomorrow I have a chest xray and have Wednesday free, Polio Fellowship Thursday and sort of hoping we can nip up and do Edinburgh and Glasgow on Friday.
