#InternetArchive video uploads: Changing .mp4 to .mpeg4 before upload means IA also creates an .mp4 w/ "quick start block" suitable to start streaming quickly. Both files stored on IA.
BUT
On 1 example, I dl'ed both original & re-encode, & original was much clearer. (Forgot to take screens before deleting)
I guess when streaming IA defaults to its own re-encode. So when watching a video from IA, check "Show All" to find all available video versions & use the one is best for you.

Today's a good day to point out the link in my profile to things I've preserved at the #InternetArchive: https://archive.org/details/@timixretroplays_gmail_com
In 2022 and 2023 I collected several vintage programmable game controllers and their user manuals for SEGA, SNES and the PC. Most of these were hard to find, physically or virtually, and took some hunting, but thanks to the @internetarchive these controllers can live again, to their full function, in your home. Most of those manuals now have hundreds of views.

About that last #monsterdon double-feature, here's the third, or at least what's left of it: Great Monster #Yongary - South Korean Version (48-minute fragment) : #InternetArchive
Interesting fact: in the original the bomb was more logically dropped in China and Yongary first appears coming down from the border with North Korea.

Welcome to the Internet Archive #Switzerland, where they valiantly attempt to preserve "collective knowledge" while Switzerland remains neutral in yet another global endeavor. 📚🇨🇭 With their groundbreaking project of #archiving #AI, they aim to achieve "universal access to all knowledge" — because clearly, we didn't have enough data clutter already. 😂🔍

I hope the user interface is better. For all the amazing stuff in #internetarchive, the poor UI makes it annoying to access and to organize. -

🎉 To mark the 30th anniversary of the #InternetArchive on May 10, we’re opening the yearbook to revisit the Class of 1996; the sites & organizations that helped shape the early web.
Before feeds, before algorithms, before we assumed everything online would last forever, this was the era that set it all in motion: Yahoo! Quake, Hotmail, The Onion and the archivists preserving it all.
Join us in the coming days as we celebrate THE CLASS OF '96 🎓
