I stand with the "Lost Media is NOT stuff you don't remember" statement. As a member of the Latin Spanish Lost Media Wiki, I'm fed up of constantly seeing discussions of 10-14 year olds asking about a show or movie they used to watch as kids but don't remember the name. I swear, the discussion page for that wiki is slowly but surely going to become a poor man's r/tipofmytongue.
You're not wrong. Personally, the most effective way on which I can find out of print books I'm interested with, is by going to those places. Additionally, the infamous Americanized Sailor Moon pilot was found in the American Library of Congress. To paraphrase a certain aardvark: "Finding Lost Media isn't so hard when you've got a library card".
Thats an optimistic way to think about it, though personally I disagree. There are those out there who find "the hunt" to be almost as rewarding as "the discovery", and in cases like that, by all means, drive library to library, cause even if you can't track something down, you will find other cool stuff along the way. My reason for thinking that in our current age, going to libraries for this is almost always less likely to yield desired results compared to the world largest open access library, the internet. I tend to doubt that anything truly not findable on the entire accessible internet, then its probably not anywhere you can find it, and thus might as well not exist anymore. The OPs video was also incredibly optimistic in his suggestions to call personal phone numbers of people to find lost media, but I find that hard to believe its a good method. I just cannot think of scenarios where something only exists on a dusty vhs tape in an old ladys attic, which you can get by calling a stranger and inquiring about something that they may possibly think exists somewhere in their storage. I think it seems a little cruel to even expect someone to do that for a stranger, request them to find it and digitize it? For what reason? Are you gonna road trip across the country to aide them in searching throgh boxes in their attic? Unless you are literally a detective trying to solve a cold case, it just seems like a pipe dream, and a bit intrusive.
Really good watch! The atmosphere in terms of the visual format and the music accompanying the video was very comforting, in addition to your tone when conveying the information.
This video is amazing, it explains what is Lost Media in a way that makes it understandable for people that may not know or have a hard time understanding what it is. Again, pretty good video!
As I’m watching this, I will say that my experience in finding some stuff was just Very patient. Years of patience and finding the right person to talk to
I enjoyed your lost media video! looking for a lost Dub for nostalgia purpose and is from an American show I used to watch dubbed in Hebrew that aired on a kids Israeli channel around 2006-2008 but the thing is the channel that use to air it and the dubbing studio that dubbed the episodes say they no longer have the rights and don’t think anyone in isreal has the rights anymore which makes the search hard to find I found The name of the producer of the dub but am unsure whether to ask them about the license and who has the rights and if the episodes are still able to be obtained? Would you agree it’s still worth it and may still exist ?
i like this video, but this completely excludes many other forms of lost media such as internet lost media that are RAARELY ever found through these methods u showed here
Internet lost media is just another form of a picture (this includes video), audio, or text. Also, besides FTPs, I can't think of a method to look for that I didn't mention.
@awesomeanimations3485 those are all very specific to internet lost media. I meant this video to be as broad as possible and simply an introduction to it regardless of what you're looking for.

Just started watching, but I want to mention libraries are VERY underutilized for this kind of thing.

Great video, thank you for going over etiquette and ethics, feels like a lot of folks need that in this day and age
Very good explanation. I learned some stuff!
Cool to see this turned into a video!
(again) Very nice, I actually needed a guide-
Hey, I loved your vid and was wondering what the term for lost foods and toys(n stuff like that) would be?
To my knowledge, there isn't one. I haven't seen many people conduct serious research on those subjects and properly categorize them.
@@okso... ah okay
oooh a methods class 😊
I just realized this is the Ziggy Cashmere guy
Just a tip, reupload this in 4:3, not 16:9 with pillarboxing.

Hopefully now my family can become found media. Thanks Ok So guy!
DOREAMON IS LOST MEDIA!?!?! I Know so many shows that exist, how could I not see this...
It's the original 1973 version of Doraemon, Doraemon's first anime adaptation which is considered lost media.
