Video  Help the Internet Archive by watching Computer Chronicles
As some here might know, the Internet Archive contains a complete incomplete archive of the fantastic show The Computer Chronicles
What started out as a simple attempt as indexing all episodes into my media center ended up with trying to actually get all episodes and metadata in order at archive.org.

This entails:
  • Complete metadata where missing
  • Check if video files are ok (broken video/sound)
  • Make sure that missing/damaged tapes get (re)digitized
I'm in touch with Jason Scott (who is the reason all those tapes are in the archive) and Stewart Cheifet (Host of Computer Chronicles, who is still holding on to all tapes).

If you'd like to help out, it's easy and fun! Just pick any episode to watch which has a status of "unknown". Fill in the metadata fields, or check if they're correct and check the fields in case the file has video/audio issues. If you're satisfied, set the status to "done". If you're unsure, set status to "review" or "needs fixing".

The list is here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13v6Ep4KtetRKNLEVGeQm43xwzfxC...
