> the pre-WW2 television broadcasts. Most of these were broadcast in the London area and practically nowhere else. Almost no one had recording equipment back then and they were often broadcast live.
The "Phonovision" recordings made by Baird (which were unplayable at the time) have been recovered:
"Note: I’ve seen some online chatter about the possibility that the footage shared in this post could be AI generated. Which is pretty depressing, but here we are I suppose. I just wanted to clarify that it is not. It would be pretty daft of me to be knowingly posting AI generated footage on a blog that I’ve worked hard to keep on the up and up. The footage was captured by a CBS news team, and they followed up with an interview of Atari employee (I’ll share that at a later date). Same goes for the images – they’ve been around for a while but clearly were taken at around the same time. The footage was upscaled a little on export from the editing software I used to clip irrelevant parts from. Hope this clarifies – enjoy!"
we were decoding 480x320 MP4 on PalmOS 5 devices in early 2000. Those were single-core in-order 200mhz ARM devices with no accelerators at all. Pentium M outperforms those easily and thus can do it too.
