Shawn Posted November 9, 2003 Posted November 9, 2003 If you didn't read about - I found a bunch of my old Beta tapes http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...=ST&f=26&t=2749 Anyways I've begun capturing the good stuff. Here is the Takatoku 1/55 Super Valkyrie and the 1/40 Orgoroid tv commercials that played during episode 33 of Orguss. Going to do some clean up once everything is captured, but I thought I'd show some small versions as I do them. File is MPG format 6.5mb http://www.macrossworld.com/macross/multim...rmacross-cm.zip More soon! Shawn Quote
Jawjaw Posted November 9, 2003 Posted November 9, 2003 Awesome! The 1/55 commercial rocks! I love those prices, too. Thanks for putting that up, Shawn. Quote

Montarvillois Posted November 10, 2003 Posted November 10, 2003 Cool stuff, I love these retro adds. Thanks Shawn Quote
yellowlightman Posted November 10, 2003 Posted November 10, 2003 Very cool Shawn. Are you planning on evenutally upload all these commercials to Macross World? I hope your bandwidth won't suffer too much, can't wait to see more though. Quote
BoBe-Patt Posted November 10, 2003 Posted November 10, 2003 aww, I can't see these commercials. Can you make them into MPEGs so I can see them on quicktime? Quote
TheFrenchOne Posted November 10, 2003 Posted November 10, 2003 oldies but goodies. Great thanks for sharing this Shawn. Quote
Shawn Posted November 10, 2003 Author Posted November 10, 2003 Here are another quick 2 Monkeying around with the filters and cleaning up the video http://www.macrossworld.com/macross/multim...man-biorobo.zip S Quote
Shawn Posted November 10, 2003 Author Posted November 10, 2003 aww, I can't see these commercials. Can you make them into MPEGs so I can see them on quicktime? Not quite sure- I can play them using my ATI video soft and using Windows Media Player What is a format that everyone can see? S Quote
yellowlightman Posted November 10, 2003 Posted November 10, 2003 aww, I can't see these commercials. Can you make them into MPEGs so I can see them on quicktime? Er, they are MPEGs, plays fine for me in Quicktime. You did remember to unzip them, right? Quote
TheFrenchOne Posted November 10, 2003 Posted November 10, 2003 G-R-E-A-T ! The remote bioman ... Quote
BoBe-Patt Posted November 10, 2003 Posted November 10, 2003 aww, I can't see these commercials. Can you make them into MPEGs so I can see them on quicktime? Er, they are MPEGs, plays fine for me in Quicktime. You did remember to unzip them, right? yes, my mac unzips them automatically. But I can't play them on either quicktime or windows media player. I'll try again. Quote
nemesis120 Posted November 10, 2003 Posted November 10, 2003 Thanks for this Shawn. Who doesn't love 20 year old commercials in foreign languages? It would have been nice if this were a full length (30 second), well, at least the Super Valk part. It also would have been nice if these were included on the 20th anniversary DVD. But it's still good to see it. Quote
drifand Posted November 10, 2003 Posted November 10, 2003 aww, I can't see these commercials. Can you make them into MPEGs so I can see them on quicktime? Are you on OS 9? The long filename probably truncated the file extension, IF it has been probably unZip'd by Stuffit. Just erase a couple of letters and add your own '.mpg' to the end of the filename. Quicktime should have no problems with it. It's neat!!! Love those flying toys! Quote
BoBe-Patt Posted November 10, 2003 Posted November 10, 2003 ok, I found a way to make it work. After unzipping the file, I have to change the file name to .mpeg. Anyway, that's some pretty cool commericals! Do you have any for the takatoku valkyries or bandai valkyries like the elint and super o? Quote

TheLoneWolf Posted November 10, 2003 Posted November 10, 2003 Awesome stuff, Shawn! I love old Japanese toy commercials! I can't believe you actually have these old episodes on Beta, straight from the 80's! That's what I call hardcore! Quote
eriku Posted November 10, 2003 Posted November 10, 2003 Damn these commercials are great! I've never seen the Scramble Egg toys before, or the Lock-Bots either. Those are some great looking toys. More things for me to prowl Ebay for. Quote
ewilen Posted November 10, 2003 Posted November 10, 2003 (edited) Those commercials fill me with an awesome feeling of joy! Thanks, Shawn! While watching them, I thought, "Why aren't modern American commercials as cool as 1980's Japanese commercials?" Then it hit me: if they showed those commercials in the U.S., the toy companies would probably be sued because the toys don't actually taxi and fly by themselves. (Well, that and the nipple thing.) If anyone is having trouble watching the clips, you might have a look at the pinned imacross topic, which has links to a number of codec sources for Mac and Windows. (With several third-party codecs installed, they run fine under Quicktime Player 6 and Mac OS 9.1. I used ZipIt to unzip them...not that Stuffit Expander shouldn't work, but I didn't have any naming/filetype/extension problems with ZipIt.) Edited November 13, 2003 by ewilen Quote
phatslappy Posted November 10, 2003 Posted November 10, 2003 It would have been awesome if they had also sold the Supers with max and milia like they did in the commercial. They just a bunch of teasers! Quote
EXO Posted November 10, 2003 Posted November 10, 2003 These old commercials reminds me of a new commercial... I'm luvin' it Aw crap, now I got that song in my head!!! Thanks Shawn! Quote
redsurfer Posted November 10, 2003 Posted November 10, 2003 Really cool to be able to see these old advertisements ... Wonder if they do advertisements for the reissues or Yamato's ... ... hmm ... Quote
