I found out that even though all the episodes are on Youtube many are missing segments for copyright reasons(either music videos are removed for copyright reasons on Youtube or certain music is replaced in reruns)and some episodes had technical glitches, notably episode 10 has a third of the episode in French due to the original English capture having technical issues and other episodes have intros missing and some have out of sync sound.
So I decided to make this thread to propose a sort of project, I was thinking there could be a similar thing to the Ren and Stimpy dump where various sources are used to piece the episodes together uncut: sites.google.com/site/renstimpydump
This is the channel that has uploaded Kidd Video on Youtube:
I know some episodes did get released on VHS and they are on Youtube without certain parts due to copyright reasons, so if we could get rips of those tapes on Internet Archive that'd be great and if anyone finds uncut or superior versions of episodes on here with known issues please do let me know.

LMW user M_Acrlic has the entire series uncut in Spanish, me and him are eventually going to do a restoration project once he gets his 16mm print scanned of the first episode.

Ah cool, is there also English audio for all of the episodes?

Isn’t that the same guy who posted that rare Pogo MGM logo on Twitter? Haven’t seen an actual scan of that either despite many people asking.

He's a Zoomer with a film hobby, getting stuff scanned costs a shit ton of money and time. Be patient.

I think so? It's been a while since I knew all he had. I just know he probably has the most Kidd Video stuff out of anyone here.

That's cool to know, we've got some good news on the Kidd Video front-a recording of the Wolf Rock Power Hour(an hour-long block that aired in syndication in 1989 with Wolf Rock TV and Kidd Video bundled together presumably since both of them heavily focused on popular music) surfaced a couple of months ago and after Wolf Rock TV we got a better quality version of the episode "The Dream Machine" as it's fully intact while the original version had a few bits missing here and there. All of the original songs appear to be intact as well thankfully(as I know some reruns changed certain songs). hopefully more recordings of Power Hour turn up.
More interesting finds, the guy who runs that Youtube channel also appears to have a website dedicated to the show: kvflipside.org/news/merchandise.html
I learned some more interesting facts from that site-apparently there might be a potential lost VHS release as well as Euphonius The Melodius Dragon was listed as one of the six videotapes released but no pictures or info about that tape have been found let alone any listings for it(BTW surprisingly couldn't find a single Kidd Video release on Ebay only Amazon) so it may have been cancelled at the last minute. If it turns out there is a tape of that lost episode that would be amazing as the versions on tape are the same ones that aired on NBC(except for missing the popular music videos but that's not too big of a deal)so having a complete English version of it would be a big step forward.
