Dayton Warbirds and Bulldogs Video Recordings (SC-390)
Scope and Contents
The collection consists of digital videos (DVD originals, captured as *.VOB and *.MP4 files) featuring game footage of the Dayton Warbirds and the Dayton Bulldogs indoor football league teams. Most are recordings from the footage captured by the Nutter Center video board; one is marked "CQ" footage. All are substantial in duration (a total of 6+ hours of footage).
There are recordings from two Warbirds games: the first game against the Beaumont (Texas) Drillers (Warbird loss, 48-40) and second game against the Montgomery (Alabama) Maulers (Warbird win 48-42). The first game footage has two separate source DVDs, one marked "CQ" footage, which is better quality, and the other being the video board footage, which has some issues with timing (slight skips during video and audio). The footage from the first game includes quite a lot of fanfare at the beginning, introducing the team and each player. The is one recording from the Bulldogs' game against the Cincinnati Marshals, which the Bulldogs won 52-34. All of the recordings include many segments of copyrighted music played between the plays and the commentary.
