What fetish?  |  NFB/ONF Images < on 7/9/2010 7:42 AM >   The history nerds are going to love this site. Tons of historic video of Montreal. E: http://images.nfb.ca/images/pages/en/ F: http://images.onf.ca/images/pages/fr/ They're stock shots, so most have no audio. You can preview the small versions online, but to download the high-res versions you have to sign up for an account, "order" the video, go through the checkout procedure, then wait a couple hours for them to retrieve and process the video and send you an email with the download links. It's free and it's well worth the wait. Here's a short sample from 1957 showing Phillips Square, the Turcot Roundhouse, and the Laurentian Hotel. It's a 200 MB QuickTime file and the server doesn't stream the large size files, so you have to "Save As" before viewing. http://download.nf...9a6f7a5b/35603.mov This one's a flyover of the Lachine Canal in a helicopter from 1991. 170 MB. http://download.nf...9a6f7a5b/18535.mov The links are surely going to expire eventually but I don't know when. If they don't work, the "Shot IDs" are the last part of the URLs. And sorry, but I don't know how to get rid of the watermarks and the time codes. Much thanks to snowman323 for turning me on to this site.
