Few months ago I started a project to restore some of the old Iranian videos and to make them look and sound better. I have been trying to digitally enhance the videos and in some cases replace the original audio tracks. Here are examples of videos that have been digitally enhanced with new audio tracks, I hope you like them.

You can't make Diamonds from Sh***
by eroonman on Tue Apr 27, 2010 06:40 PM PDTWhile it is a great shame (and crime) that these gems have lost so much of their luster, personally, I'd rather watch the original versions untouched with the original titling, scratches, and bad audio.
You see, they help me remember the old days better that way. Because that's the way it actually was!
While I applaud your effort and concern, your version however, makes me try and fool myself with cheap computer filters, unnecessary animations (fake snowflakes?) and that annoying incessant 9821 tile in the upper corner.
Lay off it already. You're ruining my fast disappearing memories.
Ey vaay Bahram! sniff sniff...

Here is a cleaned up version of Gol yakh with a bonus part that I added to the end.

Thank you Bahram Jan!
by Nazy Kaviani on Sun Apr 25, 2010 11:52 AM PDTOver the years, you have single handedly brought so much joy and nostalgia to Iranians all over the world. Sorry, we can't pay you for all the time you have spent to lovingly put together strands and scraps and pieces of our memories. But we can acknowledge the unique and long-term effort, your labor of love for Iran and Iranians. You really are a very special human being 9821. Thank you.
Merci dostan

by benross on Sun Apr 25, 2010 08:49 AM PDTWonderful job with audio and B&W video.
Colour shift in colour video enhancement is somewhat excessive if you asked me.
Priceless effort
by Bugsy on Sun Apr 25, 2010 08:42 AM PDTBravo, Bahram...
My question is how to find the restored songs? Have they replaced the "before" versions by default, or do we have to search?

Great Initiative
by Darius Kadivar on Sat Apr 24, 2010 11:46 PM PDTI often wondered if it was possible to do this for Iranian clips shot on TV in the 1970's given that much was filmed on Video and not film preserved on negative.
Good job !
And
VIVE LA RESTORATION !
