A/V Geeks

adviews_home_logoThe A/V Geeks have been chugging along digitizing thousands of TV commercials held at Duke University’s Hartman Center for Advertising. We’ve done 6000 so far! Another couple thousand are online for your viewing pleasure! You can watch them online at this awesome site – adViews. You will need iTunes to view and download the commercials – although the content is free. Tell your friends!

  1. danno!

    At first I was thrilled by this. But then I found out you can only access this collection with iTunes. I can’t use iTunes. I wont’ use iTunes. So, ultimately I can’t access any of this. Very short sighted.

    I hear your concerns. For right now, iTunes is the only way to access the material, but Duke is looking to find other ways to make the ads available.

  3. danno!

    Let us know when they do. Don’t get me wrong. It’s great news that they’re making these available to the public. I guess I’ll just have to wait a little longer. Or find away to access it without iTunes.

    I concur entirely. You’ve done God’s work by digitizing these ads, but I refuse to be limited by viewing these in Itunes only. Whatever happened to good old MPEG 2? It’s an open file format and good quality. Until these become easier to view and use, I’m sorry but they will sadly remain unseen by me and many others.

Soc Eng 101

Why aren’t you popular? Finally a video tape that answers the
tough questions: How can I be popular? Why is my family shunned? What can I
do to fit in? Funny, awkward and sometimes downright insulting… Nearly ninety
minutes of films pulled from the A/V Geeks Educational 16mm Film Archive: Getting
Along with Others, Are You Popular?, Mirror Mirror, Shy Guy, Psychological Differences
Between the Sexes
and Social Acceptability.
