3181 (Season 13) that just "aired" on YouTube is quite glitchy around the 15m mark.

Just when I thought they are done with the surprises they add this to the wonderful cocktail of errors haha.

If anyone has May 28, 1998 episode in English, could they upload it? Brooke & Ridge get attacked by a group of kids when they questioned them about seeing Bridget, who had run away.

Yep, I have made a record of it, just to add to the ever growing list of problems with this channel.

You know what's really getting on my nerves? The constant frame rate fluctuations from video to video. You have some episodes in 24 fps (Frames Per Second), some in 30 fps and some in 60 fps (Bold was recorded in 60 fps I believe). I know it seems like a minor detail, but it can have pretty disasterous affects on motion and smoothness.

If you want to compare, look at episode 3179 which is in 60 fps, 3180 which is in 30 fps and 3181 which is in 24 fps and you will see the difference.

It was never revealed. Yet, the universal consensus always seemed to be that the intruder is Russel Todd as Jerry Birn - the somewhat strange neighbor introduced in episode #2102.

[Troppo]

That's good to hear! I'm really enjoying S13 a lot. Despite a few issues, the episodes look amazingly crisp. It was well worth the wait!

[BoldKara]

So are you saying that from 2506 where this is no background music for at least 40 episodes (on YouTube), that VL have them all WITH music?

[BoldKara]

Thank you to the Angel for the latest Season 10s! Gratitude for much better picture than what is on YouTube. I've noticed #2471 though has the beginning bit including the opening titles missing. Can that please be replaced if possible?

Again, the two latest episodes (3185 and 3186) are in 24 fps and they look jerky. You can't unsee it.

[BoldKara]

It's interesting to compare episode 3186 that just aired on YouTube with the old British copy that's in the vault (Dec 2 1999). It appears the British broadcaster has re-jigged the scenes. I think I've come across this before and just thought it an error. Now it seems deliberate on the British broadcaster's part. Anyway, it's great to have an in-order, much higher quality episode available on YouTube now.

This is why we can't have nice things.

[Troppo]

Haha yeah. That voiceover lady's remark during the credits: "Taylor's clearly been in some sort of spat, too. Most unusual to be punched in the upper lip only, though". Referencing the actress's obsession with cosmetic procedures. We never got voiceovers like that.

Probably just as well. It wouldn't fly nowadays! Not should it ever have.
