Long time no see! Been very busy in the past months...
Anyway, I came across a lot of European mus-biz promo videotapes, including assorted Betacam SP formats (big, small, DigiBeta) with Queen-related content. I also picked up a local U-MATIC tape mysteriously labeled as "Queen In Concert" - the issuer company is somehow linked to Argentinian VHS releases, so it's *probably* a production master for one of these.
All tapes seem to be in pristine condition, except for the U-MATIC, which I had to manually clean (it had some mold over the roll and in the portion of the tape that was exposed).
The content of the bunch (as far as it can be ascertained from the accompanying documentation) is detailed below:
The good thing is that I know where to transfer these to pro standards (YUV 4:2:2 uncompressed AVI) and at walking distance from home. The bad thing is that I am out of budget.
Will you be open to fund transfers of these tapes? Of course I would share the corresponding videos at full quality. I hear you!
