Old school NBL Game Tapes

[Anfield]

A while back, I made a post on here and another forum about getting my hands on old NBL game tapes but didn't have much luck.

I have been looking around unsuccessfully for old NBL game tapes. Being an old Magic/Titans fan, I have particularly been looking for the NBL Grand Finals series of 92 and 96 on tape and also that epic overtime match between the Tigers and Titans where blood was spilt everywhere. With so many NBL fans on this board, I know someone out there has copies of these games or any other NBL games at home somewhere. If anyone can help me out, could you please post what you have on here. I am sure other people are also interested in what games people have in their archives.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks heaps.

I have quite a few from around this time - pls PM me and I'll make contact and start going through the tapes = all on VHS, and most in average condition.

I have all the Wildcats grandfinals on video but they're in storage so to find the box they are in would be like finding a needle in a hay stack.
Maybe one day i'll dig them out.

[Anfield]

Thanks guys for the replies. I'll dig up a few tapes I have in the cupboard and post them on here shortly. I think they are mostly Boomers games.

[Anfield]

I'll get the ball rolling here. If anyone if interested, I have the following on either tape or DVD:
-lead up game to sydney 2000 9/9/00 aus v usa
-sydney 2000 womens gold medal match aus v usa
-sydney 2000 mens bronze medal match aus v ltu
-athens 2004 aus v usa

-the original 1992 dream team games

I am more than happy to trade or even if you don't have any tapes to trade, I'd still be happy to help you out with a copy. After all, sharing is caring!

[Dunkin' Dan]

I'd be happy to do some tape-to-DVD conversion with these videos if people are interested.

[swissboy]

DD your always the Video go to guy for us Cats fans :lol: .. BUt wat do ya have to offer us from your own collection??

[Dunkin' Dan]

Not much, actually.
I was never one for keeping old taped stuff - though I now wish I had done.

[Wild 1]

I have a fair few Grand Final games from 1990 onwards. And many Wildcats games from this time aswell.

I got Grand Final games from 1990 (games 1+3), 91 (1+3), 93 (2+3), 95, 98, 99, 00, 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06 and last season's series'.

Id like copies of the 92, 96 and 97 series too if anyone has them.

[Anfield]

Wild 1, Thanks for posting your collection. If I get hold of 92 96 or 97, I will definitely let you know!

[Madcat]

I would love any Wildcats games. PM me if you have any, so we can sort out details.

Cheers

[Archivist]

Hello all,
This is my first post, so forgive me if I ramble.
I have over 60 separate game videos ranging from 1992 to 2005. Most of the games involve either the Kings or Razorbacks.
I do own, however, some Boomers and Opals games from Atlanta and Sydney.
On an official note, as Official Historian of Basketball Australia (appointed in July) I am looking for any tapes of games you may have involving Australian rep teams (Boomers, Opals, Crocs, Gems etc.) We would borrow them for a short time to make DVD copies to add to our collection.
Personally, if any body knows someone or has copies of the Australia-USSR series from 1987 or 88. I would be very interested in hearing from you.
I can be reached at Nicholas.Way@basketball.net.au

[Poida]

Let's get some Youtube action happening people! 8)

[swissboy]

2nd Poida's post! 8)

[Lisa]

I have heaps of stuff on video but have NO IDEA how to get stuff onto Youtube.

[Dagger]

Ive got pretty much every televised Razorbacks game from 1998-2004... and a couple of Razorbacks games that werent televised.

Lost the first game Vs Sydney though :(

[Madcat]

I would love any Wildcats games. PM me if you have any, so we can sort out details.

CheersSo how do I go about attaining Wildcats/Boomer [especially where Vlahov played] games?

[Clips]

It doesn't help most of you... but I have been told the AIS video library has 1000's of basketball games, including every Boomers game for the last 30 years. If you get membership there you can watch games there or hire.

[Anfield]

Archivist and Lisa, any Magic/Titans games amongst your collection?

Archivist, if you need any of the Boomers games I have listed, I'd be more than happy to help you out with them.

[Archivist]

Anfield,
Would be particularly interested in recieving copies of the 'Dream Team' run in Barcelona.
BA already has a DVD Copy of Dream Team vs Lithuania in its archive and I am certain that we would be pleased to add the rest to our collection.
As to the Boomers games, BA already has all of those games in its archive (it is one of the benefits of working for Australia's governing body). We recieve all those automatically.
In relation to another poster's mention of the AIS library, the National Sports Information Centre has a large basketball collection. I am looking into the possibility of having BA join as a corporate member (if we are not already).
One final thought: Take the time to spread the word. The basketball community knows that we are working on this project, but I would like to see the fan's perspective in our work as well.

[bizzy]

Will we all have access to the BA collection?

[Anfield]

Doesn't the trade of footage recorded off the TV present copyright issues particularly for non-private bodies such as BA?

[Archivist]

I want to make clear that any trades that I may engage in will be in a private capacity. Such tapes will also be from MY OWN holdings, as BA's are not available for sale or trade
Further, there are no plans to allow public access to BA's archive.
Before any agreements are reached, however, I will consult with my fellow employees and ask their advice.

[Anfield]

Guys,
Another one I am after is a Magic 1992 season review titled "One Magic Year". If anyone has a copy of this, I would love to hear from you. Thanks

[Anfield]

This thread has died down in the past couple weeks. Anyone else able to help me out here?

[Dunkin' Dan]

OK, inspired by this thread I have now finished converting the following tapes to DVD:

- 1995 Grand Final Game 3 (Wildcats - North Melbourne)
- 2000 Grand Final Games 1 & 2 (Wildcats - Titans)
- "Wildcats Back to back" tape 1: 1990
- "Wildcats Back to back" tape 2: 1991 (these consist of a brief highlights package of each year's quarter/semi finals, with extended highlights of the deciding grand final games)


PM me with your mailing details if you're interested in a copy.

[Anfield]

Just bumping this thread in the hope that new users might be able to help me out.

As previously mentioned, I am looking for old Magic/Titans game tapes. In particularly the grand finals of 92 and 96 and also the Titans Tigers derby on 20/11/99. If anyone has any of these tapes lying around the house and is able to help me out, I'd love to hear from you. I'd be happy to pay for dubbing costs and more for your trouble as well.

Thanks.

PS, if anyone has old NBL game tapes that they are happy to share, feel free to post what you have on here. I am sure that there are others on this board that would be interested to know what you have in your collection.

[Dunkin' Dan]

Definitely!!

Video tapes degrade over time and I would love to preserve some more to DVD, both for my own collection and to share (DVD's are so much cheaper & easier to copy & post than tapes!).
In particular, the more "significant" games like NBL grand finals and international games, plus any other memorable Cats games, would be what I'm after.

I recently transferred the "USA @ AUS" games (the matches played in Melbourne just prior to the Sydney 2000 olympics) - both Boomers & Opals - to DVD. Quality is pretty decent on these. If anyone is interested in a copy PM me.

Hope someone here can help you out, Anfield.
Surely there are some folks here with some Magic/Titans stuff in their collections.

[Kavossy]

1 of my boys has some i will let u all know

[basketballer999]

anyone know of any websites u can download them if it isnt allowed to put them here send me all private msg

[Wallitron]

There's a guy on http://www.sport-scene.net/ uploading torrents of older NBL games.

[basketballer999]

There's a guy on http://www.sport-scene.net/ uploading torrents of older NBL games.

yeah i know that site u can only get like some free or bouus downloads before u get upgraded to full service then if u request if someone has a game u get suspended

u think foxsports or someone would sell or hold a libery of all the old games

[Wallitron]

yeah i know that site u can only get like some free or bouus downloads before u get upgraded to full service then if u request if someone has a game u get suspended


Or you can just logon and idle on their IRC channel:


You can earn upload credit by hanging out on our IRC channel! We are giving out 1.25MB free upload credit for every 5 minutes you're on our channel!

3 days logged in and you've got a free game. There's also "freeleech" games like the 2005 NBL All Star game.

All too hard, or just easier to whine?

[SB.1]

Wallitron is right - I'm a member and get heaps of "stuff" from there (I presume we're allowed to talk about this so long as we don't link those things starting with T or instruct anybody on how to obtain those things starting with T).

EPL, old school NBA, NBL, the place has it all, and at good rates due to the membership system. I maintain a 3.0 ratio, its not that hard so long as you're on a good plan with good speed (me Iinet ADSL2).

I plan to upload some old NBL games from VHS once I get round to figuring it out. My collection is mostly the 1994 season and some finals games between then and 1991. Hopefully they still work.

Any 1992 Grand finals games in that collection?

If anyone has NBL games on VHS tapes that they want to convert to DVD, I would be more than happy to help.

[SB.1]

Any 1992 Grand finals games in that collection?

Given the Wildcats weren't involved, probably not.

[DICKO]

I have a big box of stuff at home, if I get a chance I'll have a look.

I got them from an ex-Magic fan, so there's probably some stuff you're asking for.

PM me, so I don't forget.

[havrilla the gorilla]

I have only just joined so I hope this finds somebody who has dug up this old topic. I am after any Bullets games from 1987-2007, with particular emphasis on Grand Final Appearances, Leroy Loggins Buzzer Beaters and the 1994 Quadrouple Overtime Game between Brisbane and Perth. If anybody can help me out I would love to hear from you at

mcorc13@bigpond.com

In return I can offer: The 1990 NBL All Star Game(converted to DVD)

Season Highlights of 1991 and 1994

Really Rare Michael Jordan/Bulls stuff including playoff games and Noth Carolina Games. A good one for example I have(on disc) is the 1986 playoff game vs the Celtics that went to double overtime where he scored 63.

[SB.1]

maybe we can all upload our stuff to www.sport-scene.net (http://www.sport-scene.net). For example, Havrilla that Jordan 63 point game is indexed there as is just about every other game of note from the past 30 years. NBL on the other hand only seems to have 1 or 2 uploaders.

I may be able to help you with the 94 4OT game when I get round to uploading my colllection of VHS (not sure how to do it exactly).

[DoubleA]

Anfield has been great in helping me out with getting some GF DVD's, time to share the love people.

[Wild 1]

I am currently looking thru my collection at home, and Im pretty sure, amongst MANY regular season games from 1989 to now, I have nearly all Grand Final games from 1998 onwards, plus a few in between from 1990 - 1995. Most are in good quality, but wil have to check them out as they are all on VHS.

If anyone is interested in copies, PM me.

[Lisa]

How do you convert VHS to DVD?

[basketballer999]

How do you convert VHS to DVD?

well i got a vcr to dvd recorder combo so i just press a button to copy from 1 to the other

[Lisa]

How do you convert VHS to DVD?

Didn't realise it was that easy. What about the quality?

[Anfield]

I copy old VHS tapes to DVD using my DVD recorder. The quality of the DVD can only be as good as the quality of the VHS albeit negligibly worse. But to the human eye, it's the same as the source VHS.

[Dunkin' Dan]

Yeah, and for that reason it's important to use a good quality VCR when doing the conversion. For fast-motion stuff like sport it's also important to find the optimum match of recording quality on the DVD recorder for the time of the recording, to minimise compression artifacts - i.e. use up as much of the disc as possible.

The most important factor though is the quality of the original recording.
Poor TV reception, poor-quality video tapes, recording in long play, recording using a mono or poor-quality VCR, poor storage of tapes and the passage of time can all make the recording less watchable.
That's why I'm spewing that I was never a hoarder of games, because I've always been blessed with good VCRs, lived in areas with good reception and used good tapes. The few games I have kept made for quite watchable DVDs.

[illusiv]

I have the 97 grand final game 3 on VHS. I will look at converting.

I have a bunch of NBL and NBA games on DVD and VHS.

Djmenow sent me the 95 season review, which I converted to DVD.

I have the NBL '91 Season review on VHS, The Wildcats '91 season review "Hunters to Hunted", The wildcats '90 & '91 back to back VHS.

I'll make a list.

I know I have a 96 game Magic vs Wildcats in Melbourne, where Litchi hits that left handed leaner!

I'm really after games 1 & 2 from the 1990 grand final, games 1 & 2 from the 1991 grand final, games 1, 2 & 3 of the 1993, games 1 & 2 of the 1995 series, and any pre 1990 wildcats games.

[illusiv]

yeah thats the issue I have. I have a panasonic DVD revcorder, which has 3 modes for recording. 1 hour, 2 or 4 hours.

As games go for 2-2.5 hours, it makes it hard. If I use the 4 hour record, it's pixelated, and looks crap in fast moving scenes. If I use the 2 hour one, it's fine, but then won't fit on 1 DVD.

[Dunkin' Dan]

Ooh, that's a bummer.
I can choose the quality in 10 minute increments, which makes things pretty easy.

The other obvious advantageous thing to have is a DVD recorder with a hard drive. As well as making it easier to watch, editing out the ads saves more space (= better quality).
Most NBL games will fit into 2 hour mode once the 10-12 minutes of ads are eliminated.

[illusiv]

Yeh I'll be on the lookout for a new one!

Other option is to record onto my computer, then convert to DVD.

Have you done that DD? and if so, what programs & formats do you use?

No, I haven't done it that way.
I've got a USB capture device that can do it, but I tend to only use it for small clips like the ones I post here. Not sure how it compares to the video quality of my DVD recorder.

[T-Rich]

If only all these old games could be put into some sort of media file and shared across the internet without the need for dvd's or vcrs. My what what a dream world that would be. Oh well, back to reality...

[illusiv]

I have all of Jordan's 60 point games on DVD, as well as alot of early 50 point games, and the 1982 NCAA title game between North Carolina and Georgetown.

[Lisa]

Well I will have to look into this because I have HEAPS of Wildcats games in good to excellent quality on VHS.

Hey mate,

I collect Jordan and have what you have above. Do you have anymore?

I am happy to trade. Everything I have is on disc, let me know what you have and I will do the same. I only have about a dozen at the moment.

Thanks
Havrilla/Matt

[sledgeross]

I have a heap in my garage I think. Mainly when the Kings were good in the early 90's, and I used to get air time because I waved my flag near that old dude who used to show at the EntCent in a purple suit.....

[illusiv]

I will post up a list of games that I have.

Maybe others can do the same?

[wildscooby]

[illusiv]

[Anfield]

With the big derby looming and with a bit of traffic on the boards, I was hoping that someone might be able to help me out. I'm still yet to find someone who has a copy of the 1992 GF series (Magic v Tigers), 1996 GF series (Tigers v Magic) and the 1999 overtime epic (Titans v Tigers). If anyone has a copy of these games on tape, I'd love to hear from you. I'd be more than happy to pay for the cost of copying and some for your trouble. Appreciate it!

[bballfan]

Plenty of old school NBL on this site for you to check out.

Go nuts

[havrilla the gorilla]

Marco the Wildcats fan, can you please PM me for your address. I have your games but lost your details and have forgotten your alias. Cheers mate

[Anfield]

I have already checked out that Youtube page. Thanks for that bballfan. There's some good stuff on there. But it is the full game tapes that I am after of those big games.

[illusiv]

OK, I have finally finished encoding all the VHS games that WildScooby game be on VHS to my computer. Now it's just a matter of converting from MPEG to DVD.

Each game will fit on a Dual Layer DVD. They can be shrunk to a Single Layer, but it really looses quality.

This is the list of games that I have converted from WildScooby, and I still have my own collection to do!

If anyone has games on VHS (Wildcats preferred, but I'm happy to convert any Basketball games), and would like me to convert them to DVD, I'm more than happy to do so. PM me if you would like... I'm really wanting Wildcats games from 87-1991 reg season / finals, but anything else you might have.

I'll keep updating this thead of games as I convert more and more.. I still have about 30-40 VHS tapes of my own at home to go through and convert.

Cheers,

[Anfield]

Thanks for posting those illusiv. I eagerly await to see what else you have in your collection. I'm still on the lookout for those Magic grand final videos.......

[illusiv]

From memory, the only Magic games I have is 97 Game 3 of the Grand final vs the Tigers and a 96 game in Melb vs the Wildcats....

I will be going through my collection in the next few days, so I will let you know!

[angry ant]

Hey ever thought about making highlights out of the matches and putting it on YouTube?

[angry ant]

how do you watch vids on sportsscene? (ive made an account)

(am i allowed to say that)

[wildscooby]

Firstly I must say Illusiv is a legend!

I do have more videos but unsure what they are as don't have aVHS player anymore. Will borrow the folks when holidays commence and see if I can add to the list. I only gave Illusive about 1/2 of the videos I have.

I know most of them are wildcats games, but may have one of the magic/tigers GFs.

Cheers
Wildscooby

[illusiv]

Heheh Thanks Wildscooby, sorry about the length of time it's taken me to do them though!

If you want, I'm happy to do the rest of the VHS tapes you have... I've got it all setup now, and the process works easily... it took me a long time, and alot of hours with testing and burning to get the end result!

1993 Perth Wildcats Season Review - A FISHERmans Tale

If anyone has games on VHS (Wildcats preferred, but I'm happy to convert any Basketball games), and would like me to convert them to DVD, I'm more than happy to do so. PM me if you would like... I'm really wanting Wildcats games from 87-1991 reg season / finals, but anything else you might have.

I'll keep updating this thead of games as I convert more and more.. I still have about 30-40 VHS tapes of my own at home to go through and convert.

Cheers,
Craig

Cool, now I've got my 'what to do on annual leave' plans sorted.

[illusiv]

I have just converted another 2 tapges to DVD:

1995 - Wildcats vs Giants Game 3 - Grand Final
1997 - James Crawford Testimonial Game in Perth. JC's All-stars vs Perth Wildcats

[SB.1]

how do you watch vids on sportsscene? (ive made an account)

(am i allowed to say that)

you need Bittorrent.

1995 - Wildcats vs Giants Game 3 - Grand Final
1997 - James Crawford Testimonial Game in Perth. JC's All-stars vs Perth Wildcats

nice, maybe you could upload some dvdrips of these to sportscene? Not sure how the quality would go though.

[Reality Bites]

This thread has died down in the past couple weeks. Anyone else able to help me out here?
I haven't forgotten the promises made some time ago - just haven't had the time to go through the tapes.

That AUS-USSR series was an interesting one. We didn't win a game, but that was the one where Drewie hit a 3 at the buzzer in the 6th Test at the Glasshouse to send the game into overtime, and uttered a line about really feeling like a Whopper in the change rooms straight after the game. May have earnt the NBL-Hungry Jacks sponsorship on the back of that one statement!

The AUS-USA pre-Olympic event was the one in Salt Lake City with the infamous faceoff between Barkley and Heal.

I should have most of the Grand Finals involving the Sixers, and a few World Championship snippets.

Got one almost entire game from 1986, the USSR-Yugoslavia semi-final, where the Yugos blew a 9 pt lead insude the last couple of minutes to lose. Fantastic game from the predominantly Baltic-powered Soviets.

[illusiv]

Oh, I also have these on DVD:

BIG thanks to Wildscooby, who lent me most of the ones that I have converted already!

[rjd]

If you can manage to torrent them, I'm sure you'd be automatically rewarded with legend status around here. (Particularly Boomers games)

[illusiv]

They are a bit too big to torrent... But the Boomers games I might, as there would be a bigger interest in them, and they are actually all the smallest of the ones I have done.

I'll see what I can do!

I'll see what I can do!

Sorry to repeat myself (I already mentioned this via PM), but you could convert them to a more accessible format (.avi, .mp4) via Nero or similar software. You should be able to get it down below 2GB per game.

RJD is right... I would consider you royalty if you could manage it!

As for the jordan 63 point game, I already have that on DVD, but I'm keen on the boston/detroit games and some of the others you have.

Yes I can, but it all takes time, and upload quota! at 2gb per game, to convert every game I have would take a while.

I'm happy to do the boomers games as there is only a few of those ones, so that won't be too bad.

I'll start one right now... the 1996 USA vs Boomers game.

[illusiv]

I also now have (thanks to Dunkin Dan!) these in the collection:

1988 Bullets vs Wildcats Elimination Final
1990 Year of the Cat - Channel 7 TV Special
1990 Wildcats Season Review - Against all Odds
1990 -1991 Wildcats back to back finals fever (1990 & 1991 Grand Final Game 3's)
1995 McDonalds Championship - Wildcats vs Houston Rockets & Real Madrid
2000 Titans vs Wildcats Grand Final Game 1
2000 Aus vs USA at Melbourne Park (Sydney Olympic games warm up)

[illusiv]

I've just converted to DVD:

1996 Magic vs Wildcats
1997 Tigers vs Magic - Grand Final Game 3 (Missing most of 1/4)
1999 Wildcats vs Newcastle (Newcastle's last game in the NBL??)
2004 Wildcats vs Tigers - Summer Jam @ Burswood Dome
2003 Wildcats vs Hawks - Semi Final game 2
2003 Sydney vs Wildcats - Grand final Game 1
2004 West Sydney vs Sydney - Grand Final Game 2

[Dave Marshall]

1999 Wildcats vs Newcastle (Newcastle's last game in the NBL??)

Is that the OT game won by the Falcons? If so, yes, that was their last game (the owner had his assets frozen days later, if I recall correctly).

[illusiv]

Is that the OT game won by the Falcons? If so, yes, that was their last game (the owner had his assets frozen days later, if I recall correctly).

Don't think it's OT, but Falcons win on a Pat Reidy jumper, and Vlahov missed a layup at the buzzer from point blank range that would have won it.

[illusiv]

I also just converted Adelaide vs West Sydney - Game 3 of the 2002 Grand Final.

[illusiv]

If anyone has any of the Magic Johnson's Allstars vs the Boomers from 1995 let me know. I have the 5th game in Perth when Magic hits a 3 at the buzzer to force OT, but it jumps all over the place, and isn't watchable at all.

[illusiv]

Another 2 just converted:

2001 Townsville vs Hawks - Grand Final Game 3
2004 Athens Olympics - USA vs Australia

[illusiv]

Thanks to Dale10, I have these

All 5 of the Magic Johnson all star's vs Boomers games from 1995.
1992 Wildcats vs Tigers - Elimination Final Game 1

And there is a few more to go thru.

[illusiv]

Thanks to thepontiff, I have a bunch more that I am about to convert:

1988 Wildcats Season Highlights tape (locally produced)
1989 All Star Game (Fisher with the buzzerbeater)
1989 NBL Season Highlights (Offical Channel 7 season review)
1990 Wildcats v Adelaide (First ever game at PEC, Ricky Grace's first ever game, Kmart classic)
1990 All Star Game in Perth
1994 Fast Break season highlights
1995 Grand Final Game 1
1999 Wildcats awards night, JC's farewell.

[illusiv]

I just found on the end of the 1990 NBL All star game, Boomers vs USA from the 1990 World Championships!!!!!!!

Gaze, Longley, Bradtke, Vlahov, Borner, Stenstock, Smythe, Keogh etc.. Alonzo Mourning is on the USA team.

So just converted that one too.

[Alex_Traitor]

Gun.

[illusiv]

Cal Bruton has seen this thread, and is going to send me a bunch of old cats games on VHS to convert! I'll post up when I get them!

[Alex_Traitor]

Black Pearl FTW.

[Wild 1]

Hey Guys,

as Ive had a few requests, Im in the process of sorting through my collection of game tapes and making a list of what Ive got. Most of the games are in very good quality on VHS.

I trial copied Game 1 of the 1991 GF series to disc and the quality was excellent, so once I get the list out, feel free to PM any requests U have, or if you're after a specific game, or team/year/player, let me know now and I can start copying as I go. The list is pretty large as I have games going back to 1989. Alot of NBL Allstar games and Finals/Grand Final games, aswell as regular season matches throughout this time, so hopefully have the list asap.

[Wild 1]

Here is my list ppl - its not everything as it was a pretty tiring and time consuming process writing everything down ; )

If U want more info about a particular game - such as venue, date, players involved etc just ask and iLL go and have a look.

Some games from around the 2000/ABC telecast days are obviously the 1hr highlights versions.

Most Grand Finals from 2000 onward also have news footage and reports of games and previews.

I will post the 2000 + games later as Im just at work. I have alot of finals, Grand Finals and reg season games from this time onwards. PM me so far any requests U might have or further info U need.

Wow, few there that I don't have. Quite a few that I have already converted to DVD.

I will post my complete list tonight, as I have done a few more.

Great to see so many old cats games!

[Julian]

That list is so hot.

[Wild 1]

I always used to look at the 1995+ games as being part of the more 'recent' games on tape, but its now 14 years gone.

Would be good to have people who arent Wildcats fans on this thread to get a more varied compilation going.

The most time consuming thing is when I do put a game on to see whats on the tape, I tend to get stuck watching the majority of the game =D

[illusiv]

I am after these games:

Any games from 87-1991, but specifically:

1987 Grand finals games 1 & 2 vs Brisbane
1988 Semi Finals vs Nth Melb
1989 Semi Finals vs Nth Melb
1990 Semi Finals vs Nth Melb
1990 Grand Finals games 1 & 2 vs Brisbane
1991 Wildcats vs Geelong (my 1st cats game at PEC)
1991 Wildcats vs Adelaide
1991 Wildcats us Adelaide - Semi Final game 2 (my 2nd cats game at PEC)
1991 All Star game

I am happy to convert these if anyone has them on VHS, or swap for any in my collection, or buy them.

[Bring back the Bullets]

Great lists across the board..if a little Wildcat heavy.

If anybody(particularly Wild 1) is keen on trade or profit I would gladly take any all star or Bullets games(yes surprise surprise the name isn't ironic) and throw something your way

Cheers

The last quarter of Grand Final Game 1 in Sydney 2003 is also very difficult to watch.

Apart from the obvious, I think 1993 was the best season in terms of being the most memorable for mine.

Yes it was a close second for mine. Heal's 5 point play was abosolute BS. Ultimately I was able to come to terms with that loss though as the Kings were the better team that season (see Game 2 and their 2-1 split overall). In '93 however we were 21-5 for the year (vs. 16-10 for the Tigers) and got reffed out of the second half of Game 1 in Melbourne.

'95 for me. I think we won something like 6 games that came down to the last shot that season.

Heal-Stiff tandem. Stiff pulled it off again last season during the Dragons-Tigers Grand Final Series. Disgusting.

I have already converted all of those NBL ones to DVD. If you haven't converted them already, I'd be happy to trade for some of the NBA ones you have.

[Kings Fanatic]

Can anyone please tell me where I could find any videos or DVD's of any games in the Grand Final series in the Kings threepeat seasons.

The one thing that was a major bugbear of mine even before the Kings died was that there wasn't a DVD set of the threepeat.

Considering it remains one of the only threepeats in NBL history you would think that there would be a DVD of it.

I have all 10 of their Grand Final games from those 3 seasons on tape.

I'd be interested in Chicago versus China if anyone's got tapes.

Heard a lot about it over the years, but never had a chance to catch the game.

Would've been a cracker.

Sydney Pete, you may have missed them on Wild 1's list of 200+ games so I have cut it down for you. As you can see he can also help you out with the semi final series from those years.

1987 Wildcats vs WA Allstars at Perry Lakes (Pre Season, JC, Tiny, Cal etc all play)
1987 - The final countdown
1987 Season review
1989 Wildcats vs 36ers Elimination final Game 3 at Challenge (Superdrome at the time)
1990 Geelong vs Wildcats

[Anfield]

Since changing jobs, I have struggled to find time to do anything including visiting this site! I've seen there's been a bit of activity on this thread...

I am still on the lookout for old Magic/Titans game tapes in particularly the grand finals of 92 and 96 and also the Titans v Tigers derby on 20/11/99. If anyone is able to help me out, I'd be greatly appreciative. Of course I would pay for the costs of copying, postage and some more for your trouble.

Thanks.

[Silencer83]

Will the people in this thread be recording all the NBL finals games this season?

[Dunkin' Dan]

I only record the Cats games, and the grand final series.

(Might record the others for the purpose of watching them, but wouldn't burn them to DVD)

[paul]

Anfield, I am pretty sure I have G3 of the 96 grand final and the 99 Titans v Tigers game. Send me a PM.

[Wild 1]

Just thought I'd post a quick message to everyone that wanted copies of games - I still have all your lists, and will get around to it as soon as possible. Been a bit busy lately, but will hopefully get time soon.

[BellBivDevoe]

Once I get a DVD copy of some games, I intend to convert them into .avi then upload to either RapidShare or Hotfile.

Would it be appropriate to post those links here or at least advertise that I have said links (with a view to PM'ing the links)?

I know there is a rule against t0rrents.

I want to share the joy but don't wanna get booted, the thing is its clear what people are doing already, just only it requires physical changing of hands Vs digital sharing.

Thoughts appreciated.

[SB.1]

don't post links (even to the sites homepage) and I think you will be OK, in my experience.

I'm currently scanning slides and negs from 1986 for the Hawks and I have one undated set. It is Hawks vs Westars at the Snakepit and it looks like the Hawks won 98-97. I did some searching on the net and I think the result was disputed and the game replayed later in the season. I believe it was the second game of the season and sometime in May.
I didn't know what thread to put this in, hopefully someone knows the answer.

It would be awesome if people were able to upload games to a Vimeo account or something like that.

I remember something like that... they replayed the game the next week I think it was a 1 point game again, but this time it was correct and the Hawks won it again.

Not a tape, but I just upped some highlights to YouTube of the classic Wildcats-36ers game at the PEC from 2000 where Stewie hit the 3 at the end for the win.

Any of the people who posted in this thread still offering games?

1990 Grand Final

2000 Grand Final
the whole series for those four, including any losses the Wildcats incurred

Bullets-Wildcats from '94 (4OT)
Wildcats-Giants EF G2 '93
Tigers-Titans 20/11/99
The game where Vlahov set That Screen on Mark Dickel

Any of the sellers want to set up iOffer accounts? There's only the one guy on there I've found so far selling NBL DVDs.

I don't have PMs yet, but my IM and email address are both available in my profile, or you could post a link to an iOffer store here if you have one, I guess.

I'm also after any other good games, including non-Wildcats games, and games where the Wildcats lose. I'm a fan of the game first and any given team second. Only started following the league in 99/00 (the grand final was the third or fourth game I ever went to), so I've never seen a lot of the older players and obviously won't remember any of the great games that took place even a couple of years after that season.

Games involving Leroy Loggins, Larry Sengstock, Bradtke-Copeland-Gaze, Mark Davis, Darnell Mee, Brett Maher, and any other players in that vein in their primes would also be appreciated.

ETA: Why does the forum say there's a seventh page, but not show it?

It's a bug which I'm sure DN will get round to fixing. I think when a page is full, another one is created, but you can only go there if it contains a post (which it does now).

EDIT: Or doesn't.

IMO we are better off converting these to avi files (or equivalent) and sharing via a bittorrent using a private tracker (which shall remain nameless). A lot easier to distribute that way, and just as illegal. If I had the time I'd convert my collection. DD has my tape of that 94 Quad OT game, so may be able to help you out.

[Swish83]

This is probably a long shot - but would anyone have on the tape the entire match between the Kings and Crocs, from season 2000/2001 when Rose hit the 3 on the buzzer to win? It was the second last game of the season if I recall - so sometime in late March 2001 and was televised on FOX.

Alternatively, I'd be very interested in any games featuring Pat Reidy? :D

S-S already has an NBL section, though it's just recent games. I'd certainly consider uploading anything if I had it, because uploads don't count towards my quota, but others may not have the same arrangement and games do have to sit on the drive for that to be feasible.

[SB.1]

Likewise, I am sticking with one of iinet's uploads not counted grandfathered plans. S/S is what I had in mind.

The problem with these in my experience is that as they are from VHS and analogue, they are very large in size due to the frame rate that VHS used. Most of mine convert to about 10-13gb per game. I haven't taken the adverts out, as I have that many!

[SB.1]

ah righto, I've never tried it myself. Current stuff is no more than 700mb a game or so, so easy to torrent.

1991 Season Highlights
1994 Season Highlights(two different ones)
Perth Wildcats Season Highlights 1990
Brisbane v Melbourne Grand final Series 2007

plus numerous old school Michael Jordan games from the 80's and 90's, including the NCAA final 1982

He has a couple of non-Sixers things listed at the bottom, and obviously the Sixers play other teams, so people outside SA could well find items of interest. He also has an iOffer store.

[koberulz]

That screen. Not sure which year it was, though I think Mitsubishi were gone by 02, so it's unlikely to be that. Uniforms make it post-2000, so it's likely to be 00-01. Wild 1 has two Cats-Titans games from that year, though hasn't got back to me yet with whether or not either of them are the game in question.

I don't have that game. The one I have is from the same year, but the Wildcats vs Titans rather than the Titans vs Wildcats as shown in the youtube clip.

[koberulz]

Did anything of note occur in the game you've got, or did you just bring it up because it had the right two teams in it?

[illusiv]

I don't know if anything of note as you put it occured. It is the same year and the same teams, and the fact that you put Wildcats vs Titans infers it was a Wildcats home game, which the game I have is, but the youtube clip is actually Titans vs Wildcats.

[koberulz]

'Implies', not 'infers'. The speaker implies, the listener infers. Sorry, pet peeve.

Anyhow, guess I just wandered into Wild 1's habit of listing the 'Cats first. The game shown in that clip is the one I meant. I really know nothing about it except that screen, and that screen is about the only pre-2003 memory I have of the NBL (the only ones from then to 2005, from which point I have games on DVD, are the 2003 Grand Final and that 25-point lead the 'Cats gave up to the 36ers at Challenge in the playoffs, which obviously interest me far less).

The '86 Grand Final just showed up, so I'm going to go watch that. I'll let everyone know what the quality is like when I'm done, if anyone is interested in purchasing from the link I provided earlier.

[koberulz]

The Vlahov-Dickel game was Feb 16, 2001. Went through all the old game programs and found a mention of it.

The '86 Grand Final was great quality, I'd definitely buy from that guy again if he had anything I wanted.

Also, I have hard drive space and unlimited uploads, so if you have a look around the internet...

Alright, I've decided that I might get myself into gear and convert all of my old VHS NBL/NBA/International games to DVD. Who can recommend the most hassle-free process to do this at home?

I have a USB capture device, and plug my VCR into that. It takes as long as the game itself to capture it as an AVI file which is about 10gb. I then run it through a conversion program to make it DVD files, which also makes it fit on a dual layer DVD. That takes about 1 hour. Then burn the disc.

It's the only way I have found to get the same quality that the original VHS has. Works well for me, a bit time consuming, but it works.

Do I? The name of a device you're using isn't much, is it? And as far as dates and whatnot goes, I have no idea how Wild 1 has labelled and stored his stuff. It could take anywhere from five minutes to several days. The former is reasonable, the latter obviously less so, which is why I asked.

If Wild 1 can get me dates, for 99/00, 00/01 and 01/02 I can get venues and final scores. I'm not exactly opposed to contributing here, I just lack the resources a lot of other people have.

ETA: Just to emphasise this (and continue what has so far been a rather subpar day), I attempted to capture the Wildcats vs Great Mates tape (the only NBL tape I have). The VCR ate it. I managed to get it out of the VCR and back into the cassette, but there's no picture any more when I play it. Even the normally blue default screen is white now, which leads me to believe the tape may be okay but I've screwed the VCR trying to recover it.

Not sure how feasible buying a new one is. Do they even make them anymore?

That screen. Not sure which year it was, though I think Mitsubishi were gone by 02, so it's unlikely to be that. Uniforms make it post-2000, so it's likely to be 00-01. Wild 1 has two Cats-Titans games from that year, though hasn't got back to me yet with whether or not either of them are the game in question.

I only have the two games played in Perth of Wildcats v Titans. No go with the Dickel screen.

[koberulz]

Alright, thanks for checking. Have to make do with the YouTube footage, I guess.

[koberulz]

Got the Great Mates tape to work. Evidently I'd damaged the old VCR, as the tape played fine.

I put it with the '86 Grand Final. Y'all know where to find it.

[wolves_fan_82au1]

Ive got the 06-07 finals around somewhere and aaround 15-20 games from the same season including joe Ingles debut vs nz

If you look at the dates of the posts in question, you may have noticed that the post you're referring to was made in February 2008, around 22 months before the current forum rules were introduced (December 2009).

I'm selling the 1996 NBL Grand Final series match and other random highlights from the GF and reg season. x 2 DVD Discs.

Pm me if interested.

Also have the 1991 NBL Season in Review too.

[koberulz]

Just got the Tigers-Titans 20/11/99 game (1-hour version) and Tigers-Razorbacks 3/12/99 (full game) from paul. Again, thanks a ton for those.

Both are you-know-where, if anyone else is interested in catching them.

illusiv, how are you progressing with the games I asked you to do for me? Been a while since I've heard from you, and your inbox is apparently full. It's fine if you're not done yet, just wondering what stage you're at.

[Clips]

There was a Boomers game vs Croatia sometime in 92 or 93 played at The Palace as it was then known. Has anyone got any details/video of it?

[Dunkin' Dan]

If one were to rip some basketball games for ... let's say ... personal archiving purposes, what would be the optimal file format, resolution and bit rates to use to get a good compromise between quality and file size?

[koberulz]

I've been using TMPGEnc to convert games to mp4 files, 720x576, and fiddling with the bitrate to get to about 1 GB an hour or so.

[paul]

Ive got Pert @ Victoria 2001 and Adelaide @ Wollongong 2001 G3.

To who?. I dont think Fox sports was around in 1994. If thats what you mean.

He's some poster boy.

On an unrelated topic, they used to have posters in NBL magazines. Whatever happened to them?

PS Is this the J-Foxx you're talking about?

[gangsta boo]

Does anyone have tapes/dvd of games feat Isaac Burton ?

He's looking for some where he hit 39/40 points

[fan since the old snakepit]

I might have a few where he shaved 20 or 30 points.

[Dunkin' Dan]

This might interest people without the ability to do it themselves. Today's Scoopon is an offer for the conversion of 2 VHS tapes to DVD for $39
Pretty good deal compared to what I have normally seen.

[koberulz]

Just picked up Wildcats-Titans 16/2/01 (Vlahov's screen on Dickel), Hawks-36ers Game 3 2001 (Damon Lowery's free throws, missing most of the first quarter and some of the third quarter), Crocs-Titans Game 3 2001, and what looks to be most of a Fox Sports 2001 Season Recap from paul.

The first two are up now, the others should follow some time tomorrow.

That's daylight robbery. But if you can get that sort of money off people all power to you

[koberulz]

If anyone's wanting to put any of this season's games on DVD, and gets One through their Foxtel, this (http://www.hauppauge.com/site/products/data_hdpvr.html) works really well. Might work with other PVRs, but I can't guarantee that.

You'll need to pick it up from the European store if you want to record in SD, and when capturing 5.1 audio fast-forwarding/rewinding causes the sound to get out of sync. Captured Psych in 1080i HD with 5.1 surround off One the other night, just leaving it to run for the full hour, and the resulting m2ts file imported into Adobe Premiere Pro with no problems whatsoever.

[Dunkin' Dan]

^ You're still better off keeping everything in the digital domain by recording on a PVR that allows you to export the Transport Stream file (eg. a BeyonWiz) straight to a PC.
Going to analogue and back is only ever going to reduce the quality.
But yeah, if you only get One via Foxtel then that's a nice option.

[koberulz]

I put a Taipans-Wildcats game I had from 2010 still on the IQ hard drive on DVD, as well as Tim Minchin's show that aired on ABC2 a while back, and didn't notice any drop in quality. Which isn't to say it wasn't there, but unless you're massively anal about that sort of thing it shouldn't be a problem.

It's certainly far better than VHS, which was my prior system and looked absolutely awful.

How're you coming along with those games you were planning to rip, anyhow?

[Dunkin' Dan]

Not well. Just recently got back from a month overseas so the progress meter is still at zero. I'm sure once the season is up & running my motivation will improve though.

Melbourne @ Brisbane, 1994 (biggest comeback in Tigers history)

Destroy it.......I'll make you rich;)

[koberulz]

Why would I track down a copy solely to destroy it? That seems inefficient.

Just in case it wasn't clear, that was a request list, not a 'games I own' list. And yes, I realise it's absurdly long and I have little hope of getting all of them. But better to request 50 and get 10 back than whittle it down to 5 and fine out only 1 of them is in anyone else's collection.

[illusiv]

I'm chasing any games from the 1991 or 1990 seasons. I have the 1991 grand final series and 1990 games 1 and 3, but I would like:

1991 any reg season games, especially wildcats vs Geelong at pec
1991 semi final series wildcats vs Adelaide
1990 reg season games
1990 elimination series vs tigers
1990 semi finals vs north melb
1990 grand final game 2

If anyone wants these I would be more than happy to convert them from VHS to DVD and supply games in my collection.

[Julian]

Distributing the way koberulz has been would be way more efficient.

[illusiv]

Distributing the way koberulz has been would be way more efficient.

Maybe, but you have to get the games first, which he got from me.

The amount of games that I have would take a long time to upload also.

[Julian]

Keep feeding the boy!

[Hoffa]

Distributing the way koberulz has been would be way more efficient.

Could some kind soul please inform me how I go about finding this? :p

[illusiv]

I'm happy to give people games for free if they send me a USB HD (or give it to me at a cats game). I only want payment for DVD's as they obviously cost me and take time to burn etc.....

[koberulz]

Distributing the way koberulz has been would be way more efficient.
Efficient for everyone else, perhaps, but not really for the person doing the distributing. Takes time to convert everything, hard drive space to keep it, and a whole lot of upload allowance. My uploads aren't counted against any sort of cap, so I'm in a better position than most people would be with regards to that method of distribution.

[FaceAndBum]

Where can we get these videos?. Im ready to go now.

[Hoffa]

Thanks heaps to illusiv for giving me a whole lot of old Wildcats/NBL games!

I am chasing the following if anyone can help me?

1990 Wildcats Season Review - Against All Odds
1990 & 1991 Wildcats - Back to Back Finals Fever (both tapes)
1990 GF Game 2
2000 GF Game 1
2010 GF Games 1 and 2
