35mm HD scan. This might be the best quality copy on YouTube so far. I will get tagged for the Mansfield track for sure so hopefully it stays up.
This print isn't perfect, it's always had that bit missing in the middle as long as I've owned it.
I don't know if NSS ever officially referred to these as the Astro series but everyone else seems to know them as that.
I think I'm getting better at doing the post processing in DaVinci. If anyone knows how to reposition single frames please let me know. There's like 3 frames in there that didn't play the game with the tracker and are ruining for everyone.

Early version using the films original title of Marie Walewska
Faulty lab print, audio was offset by double the SMPTE standard at 42 frames, this would never have had properly synchronised audio when run through a projector.")

An almost brand new print, when I bought this I didnt have a scope lens yet so opted for the flat version. The sound was taken directly from the analog optical track, this might be the only version uploaded on YouTube so far that uses the actual film soundtrack.")

The last minute and a bit before the end of reel 3.
Includes changeover cues While Ive never personally referred to them as cigarette burns including the term here may improve search results.")

About 10:30 into the film.
Thanks to @TheReturnofNIlbog for identifying.
Safety stock.")
![Cinema Camera Warning [35mm]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/MgTeWzrVueo/hqdefault.jpg "Cinema Camera Warning [35mm]
An interesting one, probably from the early 2000s based on poly base and non-cyan soundtrack. Plus this was the era where cam copies of movies were most rampant.
I have no idea where this came from. I think I found it in a junk box in a store room of a cinema I worked at.")
![Nitrate R1C: Herald Newsreel Processing Stunt (ca. 1930s) [35mm 2K Academy]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Nayj6T3M8f4/hqdefault.jpg "Nitrate R1C: Herald Newsreel Processing Stunt (ca. 1930s) [35mm 2K Academy]
From what I can gather this clip is theatre patrons arriving for the evening, being interviewed by the Herald Newsreel and being told that the footage they are appearing in was to be rushed through processing and then projected at interval later that same night. Probably a technically impressive novelty at the time.
Although this is an unknown year. Gladys Moncrieff being interviewed at 0:29 looks of a similar age to another clip from 1930 so guessing early/mid 1930s.")
![Gaumont British News [35mm Nitrate] (ca. 1934?)](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/O8mkch2t9h0/hqdefault.jpg "Gaumont British News [35mm Nitrate] (ca. 1934?)
Part of a Gaumont newsreel from what seems to be the early 30s. Although it seems like it might be cut together from various newsreels looking at the title cards and content. The rest of the reel starts with a title card for the Universal British News so I think someone has just made a mash up at some point. There are two sections with absolutely awful variable density soundtracks that I could not pull any nice audio from, the skiing section and the planes at the end, I apologise for those. I have had this for years and I think I got it off the 35mm forums years ago though if you know anything about Nitrate film you can understand why I dont really like having it in the house.")
