Domesday LaserDisc and VHS Archival Project Interview Aug 14, 2023

Show notes

I recently had a chance to follow-up with Simon and Chad from the Domesday Duplicator / LD Decode projects, as well as Øyvind, who's been spearheading the VHS side of things. For anyone unaware, this project is meant to create archival-quality "backups" of laserdiscs and VHS tapes, that will ensure the highest quality possible. As-always, these interviews are also available on all podcast platforms - Just search your favorite app for "RetroRGB Domesday"! Here's links to the project, as well as the previous interview we did:

Duplicator github: https://github.com/simoninns/DomesdayDuplicator
ld-decode github: https://github.com/happycube/ld-decode
VHS Decode Github: https://github.com/oyvindln/vhs-decode
Discord: https://discord.gg/pVVrrxd
Website: https://www.domesday86.com/
Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2070493199906024/

Also, here's the first interview we did, in case anyone wants more info on the history of the project, as well as another awesome conversation with Simon and Chad: https://youtu.be/klK4UZ5nlqs

As always, these long-form podcasts are also available as a video, with links on ⁠retrorgb.com⁠
