The Other 'Arf (1980) Lorraine Chase

[Beswad]

Does anyone remember this show? I'm trying to look for the end theme song. I think was sung by Lorraine Chase.

[Francis Asis]

I remember this. I liked the song so much I have it on a video tape - recorded off the telly. I was very young at the time!
Not sure what you're asking though. i could send you a copy if you want.

Thanks Francis for your reply. I remember this show on the weekends. Although I was too young to appreciate what the show's storyline was about, only the end theme stuck in my mind. I just thought it would be nice to hear the song again, just to bring back memories.

If it's not too much trouble you can send it to me at 'snippet.at.mail dot com'. Or even better, if you can upload the end theme onto YouTube, that would so nice of you.

Ihave already transferred the video to DVD. if you can tell me how to upload it to youtube i will certainly do that for you.

[Beswad]

I confess I never uploaded any video onto YouTube before. But I just had a quick fiddle and have a vague idea. I think you need to convert the DVD content into AVI or MPEG file. Google 'DVD to AVI'. Once you have converted to AVI, import to Windows Movie Maker and edit the length of the clip you want. Then save it and in YouTube click on Upload and follow the instruction from there. I'm sure someone in the Technology section will be more precise on how to do this.

Here's hoping you'll upload it successfully! Cheers!

I'll have a go but it wont be today I'm afraid. I'll let you know when its done.

[Francis Asis]

I've had a go but I cant get the DVD to copy to the hard drive. Not sure what to do next.

[Beswad]

Francis, you need to convert the DVD content into AVI file first using and then you can import to Windows Movie Maker.

You're a star Francis! Many thanks for your effort and thanks Ethel for the link. Brings back so much childhood memories...*sniff, sniff.

You are most welcome. I'm glad all my years of videoing Top of The Pops have paid off.
