1. Note subtitles, not captions. These were generated by running the videos through Whisper.
2. If the labels are readable on the thumbnail, be aware they don't necessarily reflect the content in this compilation. That pic is of VHSs that I did also digitized but was for an earlier planned video about my digitizing setup that I decided not to finish/upload.
3. This video is less than half of what I've digitized but I tried to avoid including any content over 5 minutes long that I already uploaded as stand alone video uploads. If you also include the 105 TNG, the Robotech all at once, the 108 different cartoons at once, and the 108 movies off of VHS videos though then I've probable uploaded over half of what I've digitized. I'm still Digitizing tapes and am about/over 80% done with what I have.
The only videos which weren't from my collect and were from videos off the internet were the 'all the cartoon cartoons' video and the anime ones (excluding the Robotech one). I've a sense from the comments that people think these uploads are me uploading other's digitized content, they aren't and I've spent/wasted a lot of time on this.
4. Seeing how AI slop channels and other shite gets more views in a day then any of my vids get in a month if not a year and how depressing that is making me I see little point in hurting myself more with this. I will finish digitizing what I've on tape but then uploading seeing that upload get a couple dozen views total in a week then the tube "recommending" something that I rather gouge my eyes out with a spoon than watch but has thousands of view despite being hours old is more than I can take anymore. It isn't like this is a job and I receive zero compensation for my time nor the cost of storage and other equipment nor is it like I don't have many other things I'm working on as well.
5. This video itself beyond the original digitizing (which would be about 1100 hours) took over a month to render the compilation. I don't mean over the course of a month some time was pent rendering I mean over 720 hours it took to render.
6. No audio, see the 108 movies off of VHS for an explanation why though I'll amend its blurb with there are 2 other was to handle audio I thought off since. With some of the anime all at once I included video game BGMs from the same franchise. With the cartoon cartoons all at once I chopped the audio of an hour from each series into under 5 second clips then recorded a randomized playlist of those clips then chopped that in half for each stereo channel.
7. This video (and the other xxx all at once) really should be watched in a 4K screen, at 4k resolution, and these need a high bandwidth connection to boot. The 108 movies has a bunch of thumbs down and I suspect it is from morons trying to watch it on their phones or off DSL slow as snail connections. This upload is nearly 200 gigabytes (not bits) and while I'm sure the 'tube will compress it down more this ain't a lets take a perfectly fine in 720p image and blow it up to 4K, the has 108 videos at once each if viewed correctly can be watched and read fine albeit each less than 1% of the whole. The information density here is more than any other video most will ever see.
Like that won't stop this from also getting a ton of thumbs down too, sigh.
8. This was the only upload of 2026 all the previous ones and the one after I uploaded during 2025. There were some things since the start of rendering this I thought would be obscure and cool to upload but then I see the abysmal stats for what I already have published and lose the motivation. IF (but unlikely) by November 2026 there is some clear view stats improvement I'll do something for Advent but having under 1000 hours watched by people over 28 days average periods ain't it.
9. I pretty much just typed without proofreading this so typos and grammatical errors are expected.
