A preservation-focused viewer for recovered video archives.

Dead Videos catalogs Archive.org video collections without rehosting them. The app stores metadata, creators, comments, and admin corrections while compatible video playback streams directly from archive sources.

That means the project acts more like an index and restoration layer than a mirror. When a playable archive copy exists, Dead Videos points you to it. When only metadata survives, the catalog can still preserve the title, creator, and context around a lost upload.

New community comments, tags, and curator edits stay attached to each record so the archive remains searchable and useful even when the underlying source is fragmented.
