The Friday Special: Pre-YouTube Video

Back in the Dark Ages of 1989 I was using a shoulder-mounted Panasonic VHS camcorder to shoot videotape.

A couple of my music and video tests from that period came back to life this week on YouTube...


The original tapes were transferred from the camera to some combination of  VHS and 8mm VCR's, where the music was dubbed to it.

The resulting tape sat on various bookshelves until 2004, when the video was transferred to DVD and the original tape was trashed.

This week, I pulled the video/data from the DVD (.mkv files) and edited them in Windows Live Movie Maker to create the .wmv files that were uploaded to YouTube.
