Then what needs to be done is to sync the audio with the video. Most (all?) of them are badly out of sync. Any idiot, myself included, could do it with Final Cut or whatever, but it would take some time.
In the DVD set, there were occasional spots where the video did not match, but in every case it was because the video re synchronizes at some point. I assumed that this was “lesser of two evils” situation due to the analogue audio tape stretching vs the silent film reel. Since the video is more important (argueably, meaning you don’t want to splice out or leave black screens where there is no correlating audio) I felt that who ever did the work had to compromise at times, but did the best thing they could have done in the situation. The worst one was Maria Vargas where the audio is so damaged at times the pitch jumps up or down. I really think they did a super job. But if you think you can take the original film reel, clean it up, splice it exactly to the audio tape distortions and stretch marks, have fun with that.

What irritates me is some episodes are exactly the same as rito y geografia series for example Melchor de Marchena. I think the list is not complete because I watched the one with Paco Pena on youtube yesterday.
Don’t get irritated, understand something. Years ago this stuff was archived. Somebody got out their VHS recorder and converted the material of Rito y Geografia, which soon after got converted from VHS tape to DVD, very poorly. This series as we have discussed, was a feature on the CANTE, and always ONLY ever was. However 4 guitar players were chosen to feature (Pepe Martinez, Melchor de Marchena, Diego del Gastor, Paco de Lucia), and there were two episodes of nice guitar solos including one by Sanlcuar. Both Sanlucar and Manuel Morao where huge contributors to the project as it was about CANTE, but you see them accompany several singers. That is ALL there ever was. Whoever it was that converted them originally was not satisfied to so thought to personally choose stuff from other TVE programs and interviews, combine them with the 6 programs above, and call the whole thing, erroneously “Rito y Geografia del TOQUE”. Not having ANY Baile featured in Rito, they had to go and pick a bunch of dance stuff as well so they could make a 3 volume set that included a fake “Rito y Geografia del BAILE” as well.
Years later they finally got around to cleaning up the ORIGINAL Rito y Geografia (the creators made a joke that the previous attempt was so low budget the VHS tape was redone on top of some old porn 😂), after which 72 programs were mastered beautifully and painstakingly with love and aficion, the economy hit and the project was not completed until a few years ago, long after DVD packaging was obsolete. So be DAMN THANKFUL for what you actually do have and please stop your whining and contextualize the amazing amount of material you have for FREE at your finger tips, and maybe go spend the equivalent of the amount of money I have spent on those material over the years (before all this free access) on feeding the hungry and solving world problems you know so much about.
