As stated in my profile, I recorded every PB+J Otter episode. Here's a guide to the quality of every recording I made for those of you who are interested. (most of it is compiled from memory)

PB+J Otter Recordings – A Complete Guide

Compiled by flicktheduck




Legend:


Type 1: I have it on a DVD; the quality is great


Type 1a: It’s on a VHS with nearly DVD quality


Type 2: It’s on a DVD with VHS quality


Type 2a: It’s on a VHS with VHS quality; some small flaws or signs of wear may show

Type 2b: It’s on a DVD with type 4 (see below) quality

Note: From here on, all recordings are on VHS tapes

Type 3: Used VHS quality; has a few spots with obvious wear


Type 4: Bad quality; the tape has many signs of wear and may be out of sync


Type 5: Horrible quality; picture quality is terrible for most of or throughout the episode, audio is out of sync, and the last few seconds may or may not be cut off

A * symbol means I have the first airing of the episode recorded.

  1. But you said before that you don't actually have most of these anymore, right? Could you maybe post a list of what's actually still in your collection? (Or is it already posted somewhere and I just forgot?)

  2. Erm, I didn't mean what it seems you thought I meant. I still have all of these recordings. The only problem is, most of them are in long-term storage (due to the accidental misplacement), thus I have only 10 of my recordings available with me at this moment, and most of this is compiled from memory.
