[00:38] <arkhive> I've got over 150 CED SelectaVision VideoDiscs for free and am wondering if I should rip them? If so, any recommendations? I have a player already and tons of storage. Should I look into a better player or is it fine as is given the quality in the first place?
[00:40] <SketchCow> ----------------------------------
[00:41] <SketchCow> OK SO
[00:41] <SketchCow> Hugo Chavez has died.
[00:41] <SketchCow> See ya, Hugo
[00:41] <SketchCow> Can someone please spider his government and personal (if known) sites?
[00:41] <SketchCow> ----------------------------------
[00:41] <chronomex> arkhive: that'd be neat, I guess
[01:14] <jfranusic> arkhive: I read the wikipedia entry on those. They are ANALOG, ZOMG
[01:17] <arkhive> jfranmusic: ?
[01:19] <arkhive> jfranusic: is that not good?
[01:20] <dashcloud> I think he's really surprised at an analog disc format
[01:21] <arkhive> oh
[01:22] <arkhive> They are pretty cool. I have two versions of Treasure Island on them. Along with
[01:22] <arkhive> Star Trek and Alien movie
[01:32] <chronomex> I watched 2001 on CEV once
[01:33] <jfranusic> arkhive: dashcloud is right, I was just surprised. When you showed me the disk at the archive, we thought that it was a contactless format. Turns out it's not!
[01:33] <jfranusic> The needles needed to be replaced. And IIRC, the format was in development for like, 20 years!
[01:36] <chronomex> it's got weird noise, compared to vhs
[01:36] <arkhive> All my stuff works :) Ya I think I have 2001 Space Odyssey on CED, too. But any suggestions or such on how to do it, etc... Let me know.

[19:43] <Ymgve> same server software too?
[19:44] <SketchCow> OK, so.
[19:44] <SketchCow> I have no inside knowledge, but I'd assume no.
[19:44] <SketchCow> original software was on a NeXT and crashed with multi-threading
