Sharing some of my retro tech.

I did a live stream on YouTube for the first time. It's not very good, but here it is. The point of the live stream was, essentially, to test live streaming to YouTube using analog video equipment. It mostly worked, though there is a lot of room for improvement.

The topic of this video is, vaguely, my video editing setup, and how I went from DVCAM to Betacam SP. This is fairly niche, pointless 90s video editing nuance that is probably uninteresting to 99% of people, so as an added bonus I shared a found-footage video tape from a midwestern computer show in the 1990s.

Video Ezy was an Australian home video rental business, founded in 1983, that offered titles on VHS, DVD, Blu-ray and Ultra HD Blu-ray, as well as console video games, for rent. At its peak in the mid-2000s, Video Ezy had over 500 company-owned and franchised video rental shops in the country, and owned 40% of the Australian video rental market after taking over Blockbuster's Australian operations. In the late 2000s and 2010s the company saw significant store closures, and by 2020 the brand consisted solely of automated rental kiosks operating within Australia. In March 2021 Evolve Entertainment, the company managing Video Ezy's rental kiosks, entered liquidation.
