Hello. 1st time caller, long time lurker. If I wanted to get a bunch of music videos for a theme party (in this case goth 80s) what would be the best source? Are there like mtv torrents by year or anything to make the collecting less tedious?
We thank you for your support.
Did you look at the internet archive?
Yeah, there is/was like a 1tb archive of various recordings that I used to fish out bits and pieces from.
…I then noticed that the quality was awful on a lot of that because it’s almost certainly coming off 20 year old VHS tapes and being recorded in some combination of resolution and bitrate that could at best be considered ‘low’ and fell down the “AI” upscaling rabbit hole.
In case anyone wasn’t aware, you can do a shocking amount of amazing upscaling shit for the low low investment of a GPU and a ton of power. (I used QualityScaler)
