Expect nothing! There is no such thing as a VoIO-database (VoIO = Video of Illegitimate/Indeterminate Origin).

However, if enough input from owners of videos is provided we might be tempted to collect entries of Pink Floyd video tapes and set up a VoIO-database.

However, there are several rather significant difficulties to overcome.

• Not all RoIO videos are professionally manufactured. Indeed, I would have to say that the vast majority of them are home-made.
• Because of this, there is a nearly bewildering number of differing combinations (of clip tapes) and sources.
• The general lack of coherent information concerning the source material. Where did this broadcast originate ? What concert is this, really ?

VoIOs are more like audio tapes. They are "floating" around and no one knows what is available in which quality. There are no VoIO manufacturers. To make things even more complicated, we have two different video standards: NTSC (america) and PAL (europe).

To give you an idea of what is floating around I picked up two "trading" lists. Don't even try to ask me whose lists they are. I have long since deleted the original files and forgotten about the originators.

This is the first and this is the second.
