| Q:
How come the videos don't work? I can hear the
audio, but all I see is a black screen! |
| A:
In order to view the video files from this website, you
must have the latest version of the DivX Codec.
All of the files are encoded using this codec in order
to greatly reduce the file size. To download,
visit www.divx.com and
download the latest player. Download the free
version...you do not need to pay for anything.
Furthermore, you should have a program such as WinZip to
get access to the videos as all videos are placed into a
.zip folder before being made available for download. |
| Q:
Will you be offering full episodes of shows anytime
in the near future? |
| A:
I would love to allow others to view shows from
their childhood; however I cannot offer downloads of
full episodes because it violates copyright laws. |
| Q:
Where do you obtain all your rare clips? |
| A:
The media found on this website comes from a variety
of places. Some video clips are encoded from my
personal tapes of shows from the 90's while others are
from tape traders, other collectors, and people who are
willing to help out. |
| Q:
I have some tapes/rare clips that could help out
your website. What do I do to help? |
| A:
If you have any information or tapes/video clips of
things that are not present on the website, please
e-mail me at webmaster@blastfromthepasttv.com.
Any form of help will be greatly appreciated. |
| Q:
Why do you put your website address as a watermark on
the video clips? |
| A:
I really am a purist and would love to offer all of
my video clips without any form of watermark on
them. Nevertheless, I must do so in order to
prevent other websites from stealing them and uploading
them to their servers. I do believe that as many
people as possible should be able to download them
(which would support the clips being on multiple
servers), but I understand the hard work and dedication
that people put into encoding files. It is a long
and arduous process and therefore, people shouldn't just
be able to take something with one click, which takes
less than a second to do, while another person does all
of the hard work in putting that video file
together. I am strongly against stealing from
other websites and thus, all images and video found on
this server have been made by me personally or if not,
credit is given to the rightful person and with their
permission. Furthermore, more people will visit
this website if they see the address on the watermark
and there is a higher probability that people will come
forward with rare clips. |
| Q:
I remember _______________ being a show from the
90's...how come you don't have it listed under the
alphabetical listing of shows? |
| A:
I do plan on archiving every kid's show from the
90's; however, I don't add shows to the list unless I
have a screenshot of the titlescreen for the
series. As soon as this happens, I will add it to
the list. |
