I re-discovered a video library on an old laptop (lemmy.ca)

I turned on an old laptop and found a fairly sizable library of videos I accrued between 2013 and 2019. It contains 329 hours of content across 38 movies and 464 TV episodes (of 29 different shows), and that's even after removing 42 corrupted video files (about 14G). There are also 64 standalone videos, mostly stuff I downloaded off YouTube for the purpose of watching on the road (but that's just 10 hours of the content).

I'm kinda wondering what I should do with that. It's 230G, so not really small, but I'm not short on storage space.

A big chunk of the content is current events, like The Daily Show and Colbert Report (including an interview with Bill Cosby from 2014, yikes...) Would you re-watch that?

You should find out if any of it has been deemed lost media. You might have struck gold for some historian or archivist somewhere or there

Whats the quality like?

If its high quality, any other current footage is garbage, it could be really good to share.

If its garbage quality and other copies exist, why bother keeping it
