    There's more information in the video description text box.
  • @plushifoxed
    Holy hell, the Baird phonovision image was nightmarish.
  • @GR8TM4N
    If there's some kind of a alternate steampunk universe, that's probably what they use for video entertainment :p
  • @VidweII
    "I'll leave things like smartphone reviews to the other guys." <--- why I love this channel.
  • By the way: The concept of a vinyl video respectively photographs reaches back to the Voyager 1 mission. The golden record the scientists developed to be included on the Voyager 1 (just in case aliens found it) includes a number of photographs which could be opened by using a certain mathematical method which was included on the record.
  • I just wanted to thank you for continuing to put out interesting, intelligent tech content on your channel. The type of subject matter is right up my alley and I don't nor can't find it anywhere else. Please keep doing what you are doing. I, for one, appreciate it very much. I tip my hat to you good sir.
  • One of craziest video formats I've ever seen. If it would be invented in 50s-60s it would be extremely popular.
  • @Eremon1
    I'm impressed that it's even possible to store enough data on a vinyl format to have video playback. Granted the quality is less than ideal. But I'd never have guessed such a thing existed.
  • @randyariddle
    Great video - thanks for the shout-out to my channel. I knew you would do a much more in-depth look at Vinyl Video than I could. I'm really curious how to record original material in the format now to make some more Vinyl Video records.
  • @mrpositronia
    Logie Baird couldn't have used a more creepy subject to film on his primitive video technology.
  • @peshozmiata
    Good thing Techmoan buys all those overpriced hipster products so we don't have to.
  • This would be awsome to outhipster the hipsters.. Imagine a group of hipsters sitting in front of a coffeeshop, listing to their phonographs and 8 tracks while writing their novels on typewriters. Then you come along with a 1940's television, hook it up to your gramaphone and start watching videoclips in 4:3 black and white.. That would be awesome haha.
  • @RealTimeFilms
    From the 90s when this was introduced, to 2018, there was a tremendous progress to compression quality video codecs. So with a machine built today with a codec like h.265 you could probably fit a lot better quality in the same reduced bandwidth on analog media.
  • @939Batze
    MÖTORHEAD is so badass, they even have the music on VinylVideo!
  • @reeffeeder
    I recently asked YouTube for copies of Techmoan videos posted to me on DV tape, but I never heard back from them...
  • @TVperson1
    If you record the signal to a cassette, can you play the cassette into the decoder and get video?
  • @mrwassef
    Nothing like getting stuck in a YouTube hole in the middle of the night /early morning(it's 4:30am where I am hahah) and then getting a notification for a new techmoan masterpiece.
  • @piperfox74
    I'm really impressed with the packaging and build quality. They've clearly put some time and attention into this. A labour of love.
  • @Agamemnon2
    It's kind of a delightful thing. I'm guessing this could not have existed back in the day since the decoder would have been prohibitively expensive with 70s computer technology. I'm surprised Jack White hasn't released a single on this format yet, he's all about quirky vinyl.

    "Hipster's Paradise" Now I want to sing that to the tune of "Gangster's Paradise."
