No worries, glad I can give back. Thanks to you and everyone else for sharing what you have!

I grabbed a few from your collection today - thank you!

A couple of them had pretty bad interlacing artifacts so I've put them through Adobe Premiere to fix them up a bit.

The episodes I've repaired are:

Countdown 79-08-26
Countdown 79-12-02

I've put these in the "Repaired" folder in my OneDrive

Re: Countdown - Digital File Sharing

Hi Grant,

Really appreciate you providing links to this years episodes now that my old HDD finally packed it in. Would you happen to have the entire series of "Classic Countdown" for download?

Cheers
MondoMike

Re: Countdown - Digital File Sharing

Hi MondoMike,

Sure do! Uploading now...

Grant

Re: Countdown - Digital File Sharing

Thanks Grant. Really appreciate it.

Re: Countdown - Digital File Sharing

Well.... It took me two weeks to zip, test and upload, but here it all is:

http://filefactory.com/folder/c0366f4be90da489

There's 12 pages of files listed. Now, for almost every show, you will need to download multiple files. If you are not a paid FileFactory member, you will still be able to get every file as they are all under 1GB but be aware that they limit the number of files you can get in one day and most episodes will require two or three downloads.

If you would like to become a paid member, they have 30 and 90 day options. Prices are in US dollars, so $13 is about $20 Australian. http://filefactory.com/services/premium/

**********

Now, what is there? Every "Countdown", "Rock Arena", "HitScene" and a couple of odds and ends all screened from 2016 to 2019 and 2014. I don't know how/why, but I missed all but the first week of 2015 which sucks because there's some great stuff in there which I've never seen.

The files are mainly .ts files. I was going to convert them all to .mpg but if you know how to use a .ts then you can grab them now. I did this to keep the closed captions, of which, it turns out, there aren't any!

I've added recording dates where I know them. I've only edited all of this in the last four weeks, except the 2014 stuff which was on a forgotten hard drive - we had to move house in October 2014 and, due to a burglary, lost all of our computer equipment and backups, save three portable hard disks and a laptop.

**********

Notes: The file "GTK" includes the 1971 episode and the Creedence Clearwater Revival material screened in 2019. They're small enough files that I bundled them together as I thought that would be it for "GTK" for a while. That was before last week's "rage" was announced.

Also note that there is a slight skip (a dropped frame or two) in the 31st August 1975 episode, during the Roger Daltry performance, just prior to the 15 minute mark. Although I prefer to not keep glitchy material, I figured one glitch in an otherwise perfect recording won't spoil anybody's enjoyment. But it is there and it is noticeable.

"Countdown" from 5th April 1981, the recording cut off too early, but the only thing lost is the end credits over the song "Ant Music" by Adam And The Ants. I assume the credits are the same on the episode before and after. Plus we've all heard the song a million times. So I figured, until I can record a repeat of the repeat, it is otherwise complete, so it is still worth keeping.

**********

I've also put up a rage VAULT that I got when I recorded the David Bowie tribute in 2016. A collection of videos directed by (amd the VAULT hosted by) Paul Drane who worked on Countdown for years before going on to be a music video director. This runs 70 minutes. Included is a .srt file for the closed captions. I don't know why, but I extracted and kept them for this video.

rage VAULT hosted by music video director Paul Drane:
HUSH Bony Moronie ()
SUPERNAUT I Like It Both Ways ()
AC/DC It's A Long Way To The Top (EMI)
JOHN PAUL YOUNG Where The Action Is ()
SKYHOOKS This Is My City (Fest/Mush)
STEVIE WRIGHT Evie (Parts I, II and III) (Sony)
THE FERRETS Don't Fall In Love ()
COLD CHISEL One Long Day ()
GRAVEYARD TRAIN Witches ()
SPLIT ENZ Late Last Night (Festival)
AC/DC Jailbreak (Sony)

**********

Finally, if anybody is interested, I have the 2nd April 1989 "The Factory", the 31st October 1998 "Recovery", the 26th November 1999 "The 10:30 Slot" plus "rage 30 - Stories From The Couch". I figured nobody here will be interested in these so I haven't bothered putting them up. But if anybody wants them, I'll get them up.

Re: Countdown - Digital File Sharing

Wow Reggie Rocket, what an amazing collection! I've just grabbed a premium FileFactory account and will start filling the gaps in my collection.

I really appreciate you putting all these episodes up for everyone. THANK YOU!

Thanks also to criscles for hooking me up today as well!

Re: Countdown - Digital File Sharing

Amazing work, Reggie Rocket. Thank you!
If you're interested in the .TS file from 2015 that you missed, I still have mine*
*Unfortunately my recording ended too early so it got the first 5 Countdowns but not the 6th one :slightly_frowning_face: Better than nothing though. Happy to upload it for you.

Anyone who wants a copy of my Countdown episodes collection (H.264 MP4 files) can get:
● This year's episodes from THIS LINK (Google Drive link)
● My 2014-2019 episodes from THIS LINK (FileFactory)

Re: Countdown - Digital File Sharing

"If you're interested in the .TS file from 2015 that you missed, I still have mine"

Thank you, but it is the other way around. I got that week and missed the following four! Actually, the 6th "Countdown" from that week is in my uploads linked previously as a .mpg file if you'd like to go and grab it.

Re: Countdown - Digital File Sharing

Hi All,

This has been something really special. Lots of very generous and helpful people here have shared their content to help us all fill those gaps. Luuuc, Grant, kiersey, ReggieRocket, CountdownLover - you've all been been amazing.

I'm going to be a bit self-indulgent and post my list of PRE-DIGITAL requests. There's quite a few of us who did record Retro month on VHS since it began on RAGE, then later transferred to DVD. It seems like only a smaller group of us have gone on to digitally rip their DVD's.

If anyone can fill my list, this is what is outstanding to complete my collection.

Happy to negotiate for physical copies. It's the completist in me that would love to obtain these. So here it goes....

Re: Countdown - Digital File Sharing

some more Countdowns here:
http://filefactory.com/folder/a91ca0daa6a98763

I've excluded all the episodes that have already been generously uploaded by Luuuc, Reggie and Grant, so these should be new to some at least.

Criscles - The "May 27th 1984 Scott & Craig (Kids in the Kitchen)" episode you want is here, but it's not the best quality (I didn't rip any of them, I just found them)

and

Luuuc - the two Countdowns from Rage 2014 that you are missing the start/end from are here too

thanks for uploading those files kiersey, i found the file labelled Countdown 82-06-04.mp4 (Marc Hunter host) doesn't seem to be in the 'Archives' section of this site. Is it the correct date & not in there or incorrect episode date?

Looks like it may have come from a recording from many years ago as the way they set out the date on screen is different to later broadcasts.

The Marc Hunter episode is 6th June as the following episode is the 13th.

Re: Countdown - Digital File Sharing

Gary,

Just want to say thanks for your impressive contribution of Countdown episodes you put up on DropBox. I noticed you kept updating it with more episodes, which was awesome. The link is now defunct, but what you put on there was just fantastic! Thanks.

Hi Retro Tragic, Do you still need these 8 episodes? I don't have them but I know 2 sources who do. Could maybe set up a 3 way trade.

cheers,

kiersey.

Hi kersey. No, I'm good now. Some very generous people helped out. Thanks mate.

Re: Countdown - Digital File Sharing

Hey Kiersey,

I have been trying to reply to an email from you, but keep getting a mail undelivered message.
Do you have another contact email, or have you been having email problems that you know of ?

Hoping you see this

Re: Countdown - Digital File Sharing

Hey all, long time not see.

Just wondering please if anyone has an uncompressed vob of the 19th Jul 1987 episode of countdown. This actual countdown has long eluded me. I've got the countdown awards from that night but not the show.

Sorry I don't have any episodes to trade as I've got them all on DVDs offline (don't know what software to use for ripping uncompressed copies of DVDs, sorry), but I can trade flac copies of the Ktel compilations of the 70s and 80s if anyone is after these. I've spent the last 20 years trying to pull lossless versions of these compilations together, and for the most part I've succeeded, but a few of my comps though complete still have a few bricked dynamically compressed songs, so most of the compilation sounds right, and you'll get one or two "VERY LOUD" songs, but unfortunately this is the way record companies master today.

Yes I have that C/D episode. It is in MP4 format about 1.5GB so I assume it is not compressed. What format is your C/D awards from the same date in? I need a copy of that. There is plenty of software out there which will take the .vob files from a DVD and convert them to another format. I use Freemake video converter. If you are too busy I will convert them for you. In any case I will give you the C/D episode from 19/07/87.
