Information------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Five short films from the early days of the Nuclear Age, all of them sourced from the Archive.org files. Archive.org offers free downloads and online viewing for a multitude of media items, including those classic shortfilms.
The rips in this package were made by converting the best available source (mpeg-2 files) from archive.org, and transcoding to XviD in GordianKnot.
