Um, so we have that ever lengthy thread on classic Y&R articles and discussion, I was wondering if we could do one for B&B? I mean the whole show is a hot mess and has been well at least since 2007/2008 and unwatchable but I'd like to think back to when I loved the show 1991ish-2006. A lot of stories liked and/or remember well have now been long forgotten like Ivana's murder and the mystery around it, Macy vs. Karen, Connor(someone mentioned him recently!) Dylan and Michael, CJ/Becky, Sly, Grant. Hell Macy was my favorite character right after Sally of course.

Guys i've bough Adobe premier and started making automatic captions for the german episodes. That the wonderful @rsclassicfanforever uploded. Then I put them in automatic translation tool and get English subtitles for the episodes. Its not the best but its like 70-80 percent of it is translated. Are you interested for me to upload these srt files? I can just add them so I dont lose them.. but if nobody wants them... thereis no point.  I am doing them since episode 2065 and onwords

Yes! Definitely interested for any episodes not available in English. I didn't even know this could be done through Adobe. I always thought YouTube was the only way, which is a problem if they block the video from being uploaded.

Yes. And it's times better transcription in terms of quality and when it's translated... it's very good. I will add the first 10 srt files today

Working just fine to me, it's just that I wish I could see November and December 2022 soon 🙏🙏

I'm sorry, I can't upload the current episodes anymore.

I just uploaded November 1 to November 15. But the tool I was using to download CBS episodes doesn't work anymore (starting the November 16 episode). The last episode I could download and upload to the vault has the number #8895 (2022-11-15). But #8896 (and the following ones) were impossible to download for me. Really sorry about that. I hope some other angel will be more lucky than me and uplaod these episodes. There is always this Dailymotion channel ( bit.ly/3Vw7Dhv ) but the quality and the sound are awful.

 

On another note, I had no idea there was a German version of recent episodes (#7800... in the vault). I always thought the last episode dubbed in German was the number #5992. That's when Tele5 stopped showing them in March 2016. I'd never seen anything in German after #5992... until today. Thank you to whoever uploaded them.

And 10000 thank you for the 1994-1995 episodes, the quality is so much better than on Youtube.

Thank you so much for your tremendous work with uploading these episodes, pity it is the end but they manage to introduce so many blockades all around the web, CBS, videoland, etc. They act fast, I must admit that

Thank you so much, you are a life savior. One question though. Is episode #36 of the Season 36 the episode #8896  ?

 

Edit: Okay, now I see. #36 is #8895

1 file for 2 hours , sweet lord,  this is gonna take awhile now ... But there are other ways. Good site, thank you

Thanks for your efforts @Jennybold1974. Perhaps an angel could grab recent episodes from 10play (same pace as US), or Videoland (3 week lag)? Both have the longer international edit.

#5992 was the last episode to be broadcast on ZDF in June 2011. Tele5 then repeated a bunch of episodes until 2016. This year, pay-tv channel Warner TV Serie bought the rights for new episodes, but they skipped nearly 2000 episodes, starting with #7800. Currently, they are around episode #7950. Also, a new dubbing studio took over, so none of the characters has their old dubbing voice from the RTL/ZDF days (IMO, the new dub is horrible because it sounds very sterile and wooden).

Ive started to add English subtitles in the Full episodes folder. Episodes provided by @rsclassicfanforever.

I will be adding 10-20 episodes a day... because it takes about 2 hours to make them. I hope you enjoy. Its a way to watch the entire German episodes collection before videoland.

I just added the first 20 - starting with episode 2065 and what follow. We have up to 3400 in german and I will try to transcribe and translate everything. 

I decided to do this that way because I managed to start uploading just the audio in youtube to get the automatic transcription but its very low quality transcription... its like 60-70 percent and I didnt like it. And the other sites that transcribe are so much expensive... they want like 2-3 euro for episode and it's absurd. So Adobe premiere is doing the job perfectly. Weve been watching with the subtitles for 1 day and it's great. Of course its not made by a human and some parts are odd and wrong... but it gets it right most of the time and you understant pretty much everything.

Thank you to you, and whoever uploaded the rest of 2022 ❤️

 

I had the same issue with Y&R also as of November 15 (using yt-dlp). FYI, Pluto TV uploads the new Y&R and B&B episodes a week later and my program doesn't have a problem with those. I actually was always just waiting for your B&B upload cause it was so much easier. 😁

Thank you! To you, and to @rsclassicfanforever of course. These are really much better than YouTube's! YouTube is just a gibberish of words. These actually have punctuation and look much more professional. Did the program do all this, or did you clean them up yourself? They do look like a human being worked on them. YouTube just translates the words but they don't seem to mark where a sentence begins and ends, so it can be difficult to know who is talking. I'm very curious about this, if you have a tutorial or anything that you used. Did you buy the program or do you pay a monthly subscription?

Hi there. It was my father that bought it and set it up since I am not good with computers... But working with the program is easy. After I import the file I just pick Text and make an automatic transcription and then save it as a srt file. I then upload all the files in a site that translates them automatically in english. I think it cost about 20 euro a month. I have to ask my father since he added the subscription. Its very easy and here is an article to explain more.

If you decide to start doing this too.. maybe we can decide which one of us which episodes transcribes. We can do each a different year.

Its really very good and I tried like 20 paid sites before that and they wanted so much money.... in the end I read in google that I can do it in Premier and asked my father. 

I havent translated from german to english or edited the episodes... if someone has time maybe he could do it. I am ok with the automatic transcription and translation. I get 99 percent of everything and if something is not translated from time to time... my partner tell me what it is.

I will be transcribing and putting english subtitles for every episode after 2065 till 3200. If someone has more in German and uploads I will transcribe them too.

I havent done any editing. The program magically does it.

Our sweet angel is again uploading episodes in 1994 folder! Thank you!

The last 10 episode ive translated using a DEEPL translator that is better than google. So the quality of the english subtitles will be even better.

Great info, thank you! I will look into this and if I do it, I'll let you know.  I'm always impressed with how this community comes together, is so ingenious and manages to figure everything out. One person uploads, another translates... it's just wonderful. I always have faith that if episodes aren't uploaded for a while, someone will come along and add them. Happy New Year to everyone! I consider everyone here friends. 😇

First and foremost: Thanks to everyone who contributed to the Vault this year and special thanks to @ChickenNuggetz92 for building this treasure trove.

I have reached #1800 (end of May 1994…) and wanted to share my comments: the show is still interesting to watch, but not that different from one of the better 2021 or 2022 periods. The actors and some episodes are wonderful, yet this edge of your seat feeling from 1993 is missing. Some stuff is indeed repetitive and the focus on Ridge and Brooke’s love live is showing wear and tear. (In all honesty, I felt the same about 1988 and 1989 episodes with Ridge & Caroline!) Plus, some stories or directions for characters come out of nowhere. E.g. I don’t buy Stephanie & Eric in whatever kind of relationship status they are now. She harps about being sooo lonely in her house, yet she is still with Jack!? Eric issues all kinds of accusations at Sheila, yet at this period it is him who is showing his wife the cold shoulder and spending all his time with Stephanie. This leads to some far-reaching events like James’ fascination with Sheila and her zest to take more extreme measures. The build up to what is to come is good (I always pictured Dr. Garvin to die muuuuuuuuuch sooner and the Houdini dungeon wayyyyyy later), but the initial switch of positions for all these character was rather sudden.

 

Seeing the first episodes of Dylan (what a 80s DYNASTY style hairdo!) and Jessica (sheesh, what a green “actress” and out of this world characterisation!!!) made me realise that I was watching B&B fulltime by then. I must have started right around Taylor’s plane crash because a lot of these scenes and episodes look very familiar to me all of a sudden. As a new viewer (of young age no less) who had previously only watched occasionally, I was absolutely spellbound by these episode. Now my verdict is way less favourable. The entrances of Dylan and Jessica in particular are already super boring and I’m dreading their romance.
