Awesome, thank you!

The digital versions are pretty much close to impossible to download, now that CBS has been encrypting DRM on their site. Hopefully there are people out there who know how to archive 2022/2023.

Someone was able to upload Beth Maitland and Eileen Davidson’s anniversary episode without any issue from last June. Was that episode before the new encryptions??

@ltm1997 Sheryl Underwood is going to be all squealing fangirl, just watch.

I think Sheryl’s hysterical when she’s like that lol, though I’m a fan of her work as a comedian and that’s basically what it’s like haha.

Tracey will appear on The Talk on January 24th to discuss her 40th anniversary on YR.

On Friday January 27th she'll be a guest on The Locher Room

 

OMGGG, thank you so much for posting this and letting us know!!! I really appreciate it!! When MTS appeared, they showed her first scene, so let’s hope and pray they do the same for Tracey!!!

I’m pretty sure Tracey is going to be appearing on The Talk to promote the episode, based off of this post on her Instagram story.

For anyone that’s ever recorded an episode of Y&R straight from the TV to their computer, did you use a video capture card, a video transfer setup, or something else???

P.S. I’m not looking to go on CBS.com and screen record the episode from there. I’m only looking for answers from people that have ever recorded an HD episode of the show straight from the TV to their computer.

Better question is what VPN can anyone recommend that actually works and enables to watch the videos/episodes...

I use NordVPN.

This might have already been asked, but does anyone know how to get rid of the Dutch subtitles on Videoland for the classic B&B episodes?

Interesting, they did it for the women, but not for Eric Braeden or Christian Le Blanc and I can't remember if they did it for Peter Bergman.

Edit: They didn't do Kate Linder's but I doubt she even had dialogue, hah.

I noticed that myself. Maybe they couldn’t find a good chunk of the guys’ first episodes to tie in with their episodes. I can see them not doing it with EB since he was introduced with Julia and them not wanting to bring her into any flashbacks. As for CLB, I don’t know why they didn’t do his first appearance. Kate Linder literally only said “Dinner is served” during her first episode LOL and was onscreen for like 5 seconds, so I get them not using that. The women seemed to have first appearances that tied into their storylines from day 1, and with characters that lasted a long time on the show, save MTS’s scene with Roberta Leighton. It was clever how they tied that in with Nikki killing her father.

The whole TEB and BM scene that was Lauren’s first scene would make sense to include, since Lauren was in Traci’s orbit for her first nearly 2 years on the show.

I would LOVE to see her first scene. 

 

Fingers crossed.

Chances are good since we saw MTS’s, BM’s, and ED’s during their tribute episodes!! Definitely have my fingers crossed!

This should be a good episode.

@ltm1997 I also hope we get to see TB first scene.

I think so, too. And yes, it’s my biggest wish for the episode!! If we do, then I’ll have seen all 4 of my favorite characters’ introductions to the show: Kay, Jill, Nikki, and Lauren!

You must have a payment card issued by a Dutch bank

Figures…

You shouldn’t need your vpn turned on when you’re signing up to VL. Try PayPal as the payment option if credit card doesn’t work.

I made a Videoland account last year and only used the 14 day trial and then didn’t renew the subscription. Now that I’m trying to get the subscription, it won’t let me even go through with picking a plan because it says you can only do it in the Netherlands. Then when I turn on the VPN and it lets me pick my subscription, it doesn’t even allow PayPal as an option, and it won’t let any card of mine go through.

Does anybody know how I can pay for a subscription to Videoland from the U.S.?? I have NordVPN and they're letting me get as far as putting my payment info in, but when I try and put it through, it says the payment failed. I hope someone can help!! I'm trying to open up my own account.

Anybody else as excited as me for Tracey Bregman’s upcoming 40th anniversary stand-alone tribute episode?? I literally cannot WAIT!I’m hoping beyond hope we see some great flashbacks, more than anything her first appearance!

1 hour ago, kalbir said:

Agree. 

Tracey Bregman 40th anniversary this month. Hopefully her anniversary episode will have some scenes not shown since their original broadcast.

I’m totally pumped about the confirmation of her having her own tribute episode! I can’t wait! I haven’t been this excited about a new Y&R episode since MTS’s tribute episode.

I think it would be amazing if they devoted an entire primetime episode to a 50 year retrospective of the show!

To piggyback off of @Paul Raven, here’s another 10 memorable moments:

Nikki killing her dad

The farmhouse saga with Sheila, Lauren, and Molly

Victor trapping Michael in the dungeon

Dru and Sharon falling off the cliff

Victor shot by Mari Jo

Lauren buried alive

Traci dumping the sundae on Lauren

Katherine and Jill catfight in the attic

Sheila and the baby switching scene

Phyllis runs over Paul and Christine

Just came across this ABC Weekend Special episode from 1979 featuring Tracey Bregman as a sister to the main character. I’ve been looking for this for ages!

The current angel screen records. A previous angel did a backend rip which extracted the upscaled 1080p file. The quality is still good nonetheless and we appreciate all angels (and their time)

YouTube quality is rubbish, which I believe they are doing deliberately. I suspect they don’t want high quality episodes in circulation, for free. 

Ahhh, I gotcha. Yeah I wasn’t trying to come across as if I was complaining, I was just wondering what the change was haha. I definitely appreciate what the angels are doing!

And yeah, I’d hoped they’d keep doing the 720p on YouTube or maybe even do 1080p, but you’re probably right about them not wanting such high quality episodes in circulation.

The whole youtube channel is absolute mess. But thank God that BB is the only Big soap opera we now have the first 2000 episodes of. This is amazing. In a year or two we will have 2000 more and then the whole show will be complete available to watch. It's just a matter of 2 years. 

Yeah, the YouTube uploads are definitely a cluster lol. It’ll be great when the whole series is available, but then what else will we ask for?? LOL

10 hours ago, divinemotion said:

Actually BB even if it's recorded in 4k will always be 480. That's the quality of the original tape that cannot be more. They haven't been AI enhanced... just put through some filters probably to look better.

A HD broadcast (or stream) will upscale the original SD content to make it appear much sharper and crisper, colours will pop. But agreed, it’s still 480p.

I was mainly talking about the quality of the uploads to the Vault. They weren’t a script and clear for ‘93 and ‘94 as they were for ‘92. I  didn’t know why some were clear and crisp and some weren’t. Like some will be a 450mb file and others will be 150mb files. On YouTube, they definitely have been uploading low quality episodes since they started season 10. I wondered what the reason was. Are we trying to save space for the Vault so we don’t go over the limit?

Well, as long as the person who’s uploading the show from Videoland can get episode 1985 uploaded to the vault in HD and without subtitles when it appears, I’m satisfied LOL. 

ETA: has the person been uploading in HD?? it seems like 1993-1994 hasn’t been in high quality. Just wondering. Not complaining, just asking.

I think when you asked a few weeks ago, someone mentioned it’s already there (Cala Classics). It’s superior quality too.

Yes, I remember that. I just am thinking the Videoland version will be even better quality than the great quality version that’s on there. It seems to be in HD when it comes from Videoland, and now that I heard that episodes are being uploaded without subtitles, it would be great to see! I’m just interested in that one because it has Sheila telling Mike about the farmhouse fire and the flashback scenes and it’s one of the very first clips I ever saw of B&B on YouTube when it was on there in less than stellar quality years ago. So it holds a bit of sentimentality. I hope the Videoland angel doesn’t skip the episode just because it’s uploaded from a different source. The colors seem to pop more on the Videoland uploads too versus any other official source.

If you’re seeing this, uploader of the Videoland episodes, please make sure to record and upload episode 1985 without the subtitles in HD when it gets added to the site!!
