Comment Where can I download an HD version? (Score 1) 1656

by InkDancer (#26539643) Attached to: Barack Obama Sworn In As 44th President of the US

I work at a school, and am looking to download a HD version of the swearing in / speech / anything else interested & related (I've already got a few other inaugurations)

I want to project them on our big auditorium screen (so, the better the resolution and less flash videoish the better) and also hand them out to teachers on DVD for use in class.

Anyone got anything going on?

Making Old Sound Recordings Audible Again 172

Posted by samzenpus from the does-it-work-on-8-track dept.
orgelspieler writes "NPR is running a story on a safe way to reproduce sound from ancient phonographs that would otherwise be unplayable. The system, called IRENE, was installed in the Library of Congress last year. It can be used to replay records that are scratched, worn, broken, or just too fragile to play with a needle. It scans the groves optically and processes them into a sound file at speeds approaching real time. IRENE is great at removing pops and skips, but can add some hiss. Researchers are also working on a 3D model that is better at removing hiss."
