SOURCE HISTORY / PRESERVATION RECORD

Asset provenance.

Where this collection came from, what survives locally, and what is still missing. This is a readable archive record; playback lives in the linked players.

The original Burst terminal

Source: Holocosmos · U2 Burst Flash demonstration ↗. Retrieved 2026-09-27. The original artwork and first Flash movie are preserved locally. The site uses a local Ruffle compatibility player to run the surviving movie.

First part preserved. Second part missing.

burst.pt1.swf contains 1,385,466 bytes. Its referenced continuation, Flash/burst.pt2.swf, returned 404 at the supplied source during retrieval. A blank or stopped continuation does not mean that the complete historical presentation has been recovered.

The modern HD player is a reconstruction of the buffering idea. Its connection speeds, received timeline and chunk management are a simulation. It does not reproduce the original BurstWare software or verify historical audience figures.

What survived

21 intact assets verified against their stored SHA-256 fingerprints · 4 empty responses · 6 unavailable assets. The missing second Flash part is recorded separately above. Filenames identify the archive contents and are not download links.

The PopMart collection

James supplied 18 local movies from the Mexico City performance of 3 December 1997. Their supplied playlist order is retained. These copies are 1920 × 1080 H.264/AAC, including those whose filenames say “4K”. The collection’s original uploader and release chain have not been independently authenticated.

Individual supplied streams remain preserved. The continuous playback edition is a modern derivative: 1080p H.264 VideoToolbox 12 Mbps target; AAC 192k; constant 30000/1001 fps; six-frame audio/video crossfades. Original individual streams retained. It runs approximately 102 minutes 54 seconds, with 18 chapters. This describes the supplied collection, without claiming a complete historical set list.
