I have the German version of 956 and it has background music, so it's definitely an issue with the RTL Lounge broadcast, not the original US episode.

I can understand versions without dialogue being used for dubbing, but a version with the dialogue left in but the music gone just seems so random (and useful only to aspiring film music composers who would like to make their own background scores for practice).

Content can be distributed with or without a score track too. RTL would have no rational justification to mute the score track unless they did so in error - 5 times. I’m inclined to think the distributor sent out the wrong version.

I am not up to that yet but I just checked it in two different players and yeah, there's no music! So weird! I noticed that's an RTL Lounge video, hopefully it can be found on videoland and be reuploaded. 

There’s actually a handful of episodes without score music. I have come across 4 or 5. I should have noted the episode numbers. I doubt very much RTL/Videoland removed the backing tracks. I suspect there was a mixup with the version the Distributor supplied RTL.

From a technical perspective, there are multiple tracks (voice and music) on content. Broadcasters can opt to receive content with or without tracks for the purposes of dialogue replacement/voiceover into local languages.

I must say the opening song is horrible and out of synch. Still they have the original music on closing credits. Wonder why. 

I thought the same thing. Even more oddly, that particular broadcaster changes the closing distribution slide at the end of each episode to an older version that was discontinued in 2019. Given the episodes are recent, they would be receiving episodes with the current BBL ending:

Oh, I hadn't realized that. Has anyone with videoland watched the episode to make sure it's exactly the same as 10play's version, since 10play is known to edit out violence? It's great having it without subtitles though, and in such nice quality!

Im wondering, the 10play-version is 13seconds longer 

10play is always uncut. With 1384, VL removed the sponsor tag immediately after the opening credits (at the 6min 20 sec mark).

As a side note, VL trim down the ad break fade outs, usually a loss of about 2 seconds at the point of each break. The ‘CBS StereoSound’ caption is also removed from the beginning of each episode. Occasionally you can hear the tail-end of the sting at the beginning of some episodes. None of this is a big deal of course, just my observations

I am using a program called „Audials One“ to record the Episodes.

It can record streams directly from the graphics card. So its in the best quality and without any overlays etc.

but you cant easily download videos, you need to play and record them in realtime.

Love your hard work and dedication. May I ask, are you grabbing episodes in the highest quality available?

I hate to be a bother, but you skipped over #1384. Thank you

Someone else already posted it. It's at the top of the list in that folder. 

That was me. Unfortunately I made a typo with the filename date - it should read 1992, not 1999. If anyone has edit rights, can they amend the year or rename the file to read “Episode 1384”. Thanks in advance.

I am following the B&B official youtube chanel and now they are uploading episodes from january 1988, soon will get to 255 and i remember that we had some episodes with missing beginigns, ends, songs muted, so if anyone keeps a list of what we need to upload again, can put it here and when they are on youtube we can get the CBS ones.

In the Vault, the majority of episodes 250 to 750 came from the YouTube user named “Amy”. Alot of her episodes have the original music muted because of YouTube’s copyright claims.

Videoland still has episodes 501 onwards, however it’s only a matter of time before seasons 3, 4 and 5 are deleted due to expiring rights. If someone is able to rip VL eps 501-750ish in better quality with the original music that would be amazing. We’re missing some fab music from the fashion show episodes in the Vault.

YouTube official channel episodes have some pitiful quality... However, I'm sure CBS has better quality

It’s my understanding that Bell-Phillip TV are uploading episodes to YouTube, not CBS. 
I posted a few weeks ago about the YouTube episodes being in a weird zoomed/cropped format. I posted a photo of the video properties for reference. 

Watching episode 1381 on VL. Enter Lauren Fenmore. First appears in the episode prior, albeit courtesy of a Y&R flashback with Sheila and her mother.

Im sorry, i dont know if there are any programs for Mac.

But i can tell you all, i managed my time for recovery to record all the 24 episodes and upload them.

So we are at the current status live with videoland until episode 1374

 

Awesome! Thank you

Thanks! I deleted the other copies of #3103. Yours are great.

Is it possible you could add this one as well? It should be 2009-07-31 #5619

I was also wondering about 1996-10-08 #2393.  It is in the vault already but in low quallity (screen record). It's the fashion show where Ridge proposes to Taylor. It was one of the 10play episodes last summer, but I can't for the life of me find it on their site now. It could be because I'm not in Australia and region blocked. Just wondering if you could double check if you can find it, and then upload it in better quality if possible  

I don’t have ep 5619 unfortunately, I didn’t rip it from 10play last year when I grabbed the others. It appears 10play (within the last 6 months) have changed the security on their player interface as I can no longer rip.

Perhaps @rsclassicfanforever can rip this 10play episode with the Audials One software? I use Mac and unfortunately this software isn’t available for Mac.

10play have indeed deleted episode 2393, they also did not broadcast this  episode during the 2020 covid replays, not sure why. I wish I had grabbed it at the time.

Have dropped better versions of the following episodes into the Vault. These are direct rips, no screen recordings:

1992-09-29 Ep# 1384 [10play full edit - Sheila vs Lauren] (other offerings of this episode in the Vault are lesser in quality)

1997-10-29 Ep# 2661 [10play full edit - Lake Como Fashion Show] (Original music tracks, longer runtime than the 2020 CBS broadcast replay)

1999-08-03 Ep# 3103 [10play full edit - Brooke vs Stephanie] (uncut original edit. The 2020 CBS edit in the Vault has a shorter runtime, the other offering is bad quality)

Can someone delete the lesser quality duplicates of these 3 episodes?

If someone could please help grab the Brooke's Bedroom episode from 10play that would be very much appreciated. This edit has the original music tracks - including Dionne Warwick on the closing credits. The episode is due to expire/disappear from 10play in the next few months. I have tried to rip but it fails. Hoping someone has better luck.

Hey! I had the original Brooke’s Bedroom episode on my files so uploaded it. Since this is the one of the best episodes ever you just can’t watch it without I’m too sexy right! 
 

I also uploaded March 6, 2000, September 27, 1999 and February 4, 1999. More to come when I have again time to transfer the tapes. Hope you enjoy and take care and have a blessed day!

You’re an angel - thank you! Would love to know a good software app so I can also contribute

Is anyone able to grab the original Brooke’s bedroom episode from 10play for the vault please (ep# 2942 from December 1998)? The 10play offering contains the ORIGINAL music tracks. Currently, the vault has the 2020 replay edit which contains the replaced tracks.

Additionally, could someone grab a better version of the Brooke vs Stephanie Big Bear episode for the vault (ep# 3103 from August 1999). The current rip in the vault has a terrible sync issue.

My question for you is how come this gold digger Gilson Serafim has already an episode 1384 from videoland? Do you know why? We were up to 1350, not further. The 1384 episode is already on his youtube channel...

Videoland accidentally posted episode 1384 last week. It was available for 24 hours until they pulled it down.

She was not sexually assualted. She was attacked, but when the person ASKED here about ASSAULT, he, she said also the guy Stephanie put her to... Andy. I understood that this person asked about sexual assault. SHE WAS NOT. Please read more careful!

The question originally asked by user ‘j swift’ was “How many times has Brooke Logan been assaulted”. Brooke was attacked in episode 1 by a group of men. Any attack quantifies as assault.

Brooke was not assaulted in the beginning. Caroline was.

Are the episodes on the official channel complete and in good quality?

The quality isn't bad as BoldKara mentions, however they're defiantly not broadcast quality. I have also noticed episodes have a weird resolution, and I think they are slightly zoomed/cropped. I'm not sure whether the resolution is NTSC rather than PAL?

When I watch on my 65" TV (via the Youtube app) the quality is somewhat substandard. However, I am super grateful they are releasing the episodes.

I literally don't know what I want to do LOL I'm recording and posting these episodes but I'm watching at Videoland pace and I don't really want to skip ahead, but at the same time like I'm RECORDING and posting these episodes so I feel like I should watch? Right? LOL Oh well. There's enough other content I'm watching, and I GUESS I could be patient but I'm NOT LOL >.<' 

Thank you for your efforts. What geographic territory/territories can receive the Cala broadcast?

Hello all, 

So after lurking here forever, I decided to make an account because I found a resource and I am going to attempt to help all of us classic B&B fans out and post the episodes airing on Cala Classic. Now it appears that two episodes a day air on Cala, and they're repeated the same day or next, but all of the episodes run back to back on Sunday's. I don't know yet, but I feel like the Sunday marathon may be what I end up posting, but I might try and record and post every day, I just don't know yet.

Now when I start (Probably with the batch airing Sunday because I don't think I'm going to be able to get it working tonight in time for tomorrow's airing given I just got off of working both of my jobs today and I'm beyond tired LOL) but I am editing what I have now, and I will place it in the vault in the '94 folder because I believe that is what was said to be airing there earlier? Can someone try and figure out the dates for the TWO episodes I'm posting, and then we can go from there as I add more?  

Here's what I know from the episodes just kinda skimming them. Taylor Hayes just "came back" from the dead the previous (few?) episodes and revealed herself to Ridge. Her father came back on screen and is celebrating her return, meanwhile Thorne is on trial for something and that's about all I watched LOL

 

EDIT: 

So, the file records as a .TS file, and is HUGE, so when I used a free converter to .mp4, it came out okay, but I'm not too impressed with the quality. So I'll see what I can do to figure that part as well out in the future LOL, but for now at least this is something. 

Both episodes are in the vault in the '94 folder, labeled as "Cala Classic 9/29/21- episode 1/2" respectively. 

Hope that's okay while we figure this out. If not I apologize. 

Welcome and thank you for the dropping the Cala episodes into the Vault.

Try this with the .ts file: open in QuickTime player and then save as .mp4. This has always worked for me and there is no loss of quality.

Can you tell us more about the Cala broadcast. When did they commence airing Bold? How many episodes per week? Are they currently screening 1995 episodes? Does Cala have a website where they stream the episodes after broadcast?

Whatever episodes you capture and post to the Vault will always be very much appreciated by everyone. Full complete episodes (with closing credits) if possible

Thanks again.

Just watching the latest Videoland episode (#1293). Enter Sheila. Let the fun begin

Found two episodes on YouTube from a 1995 Network TEN Australia broadcast. 

Episode 1995 - Lauren tells Eric about Sheila’s past. 

Episode 1997 - Sheila & Lauren’s infamous Jacuzzi fight.
This is the best quality I have seen of this fight anywhere.

This is good that you bring this up, I never realized those episodes from the official YT were incomplete. That's so weird.

Episodes 5127 and 5128 are also missing from the official YouTube channel. These being the episodes where Andy assaults Brooke. I often wonder does the official YT channel deliberately skip episodes because of sensitive content? If that is indeed the case, the entire scene is replayed during a flashback in episode 5174. Makes no sense really. 

That fruitcake who is profiteering on selling episodes also has an Instagram account and blatantly advertises he has the episodes. Such an idiot.

Episode 1272 marks the introduction of landscape/aerial footage on the closing credits. This coincides with the first episode taping on location in St. Thomas. Taylor has just arrived in St. Thomas and Ridge is hot on her heels.

Was it 1992 when the show turned into landscape credits?

Yes. Episode 1272 to be exact. The beginning of the St. Thomas storyline with Taylor & Ridge.
