Apparently there's a HUGE backup of JAZ drives that were recently put on the Internet Archive. One of them (at least) includes the original Maya 3D models used in the The Iron Giant.

"Hmm, here's 45 AOL CD-ROMs I forgot I scanned" is a thing I thought tonight

Considering the original material is 30fps and the original capture is not pillar boxed, I'm not sure the criticism is constructive.

I just set off a small script which, when it is done compiling, will be done in between 14 to 18 days. Luckily I don't need to watch it. Have fun, little script

Mass-ripping AOL CD-ROMs while waiting in between setting up crops of PAL VHS captures post-ffmpeg compression seems somewhat on-brand for me

Jason Scott @textfiles.com · 19/09/2026

As I'm dealing with 36 PAL VHS captures going through cropping before upload, I'm putting this here for someone in the future who needs it: Not using the same hard drive or SSD for the cropped output as the uncropped input can be a massive difference in speed.

Using every part of the buffalo - as I am digitizing reel to reel I'm also scanning the reels (and the packaging) and the images of the reels have a calming quality for me.

Discovering a smattering of my tape digitizations are desynced and need to be re-rendered for replacement uploads is one of those pain in the ass tasks that should be terrible but then reminds me how much I love my work
