High-Res Betty Boop

February 3, 2013 1:23 PM

I'm making a documentary by editing together clips from old cartoons. I want to use part of Betty Boop's Ups and Downs, but I can only find crappy low-res versions. Does anyone know where I can find a high-res version either online or on DVD?

The early Betty Boop shorts seem to be in the public domain, and this copy on DailyMotion is pretty good quality, without any DIVX watermarks. You can click "Download" under the video and select "480p [SD]" to download a standard-definition MP4 (which is the same resolution you'd find on a DVD).

Did you try contacting hulakan on Youtube? If he/she uploaded the videos, it is more than likely they have a higher res version.
