Wish I knew who had created the film. I'm thinking Les Greenhill, Marlowe Froke and Ed Leos were in on this project.

Tip for the digitizers: If possible, next time change the "pan" audio settings from "-1" to "0." That way the audio will play in both ears with headphones instead of just one!

Ariel, will do in the future! This was a first run just to make sure the machine worked.

Are these digitally available videos only available through youtube? As a Penn State student is there any way I can have access to a digital copy for personal, non-commerical use that wasn't restricted by youtube's audio and video compression?

Not a very good digitization. I would love to see a proper high quality digitization of this film!

Loved seeing this great throw back of my great University. Well done! :-) Another brief thought. It is helpful to edit the closed captioning for accuracy. Sometimes captioning tools are not as accurate as they could be. The captioning here left me with a few giggles. Enjoy all!

Hmm, we edited it yesterday and yesterday afternoon it was working fine? Now it seems it's reverted back to the auto CC?!?
