Re: The Beatles and Blokker - new documentary (with new footage?)
I managed to grab the documentary and the trailer with a Firefox add-on. Thanks so much for the alert!1822 wrote: ↑Fri May 24, 2024 6:31 am Dutch regional news outlet NH (NH referring to the province of Noord-Holland) will broadcast a documentary later today (May 24) at 17:10 local time (CET).
I won’t translate the whole article (link below) but the main attraction (to me anyway) is new footage; it seems secretly taped audio though the piece also mentions visuals in a subhead (by mistake I think).
Article:

Hope someone can grab this (I lack the skills to do that).

Re: The Beatles and Blokker - new documentary (with new footage?)
As with the 50th anniversary Blokker special, I have no idea what anybody is saying! I was dismayed that there aren't even Dutch subtitles on the web player. So much for accessibility! Clearly there are no deaf people in Holland.
Can somebody run the audio through Whisper and give us a translated script please?

Re: The Beatles and Blokker - new documentary (with new footage?)
OK, so I had a go at getting Premiere Pro to transcribe and create Dutch subs, then got Google Translate to translate those subs to English and then added the subs to the video. I have hard burned the subs in, purely because we already have a Dutch language version. There is a spot where the original video has subs in Dutch and I'm afraid the new subs are on top and may be hard to read.
I speak no Dutch, so how accurate these subs are I do not know, but I'm optimistic. I made a few corrections based on sight (it was citing Duvel Mania, and while that's a fine beer, it seemed unlikely). I have also uploaded the Dutch and translated .txt files the captions are from, so if any Dutch speakers want to update, please do and I'll reburn.

The Netherlands were very important for the career of the Beatles. If you want to know more, watch this clip (in English!!!).Lord Reith wrote: ↑Sat May 25, 2024 11:01 pm As with the 50th anniversary Blokker special, I have no idea what anybody is saying!

Yeah, it's because it's was broadcasted on a local television and not national. We do have subtitles on most programs.
