Queen music download : A Pic-nic By The Sepertine

Hi!

Well... since today is the anniversary of his GREAT and in some cases UNDERATED concert, and since it seems QP don´t care the anniversary of hyde park and they only have the wembley anniversary on mind... i decided post my version of it...

Initialy i don´t wanted to share this gig... but due the (many) requests that i recived throught the months i decided finnaly share this concert but i want to advert one or two things:

- The quality for much people (i.e pittrek who has a very trained eye ha ha) will be a bit "ghostly" but is almost as my tape looks... i only add a little balance on some coulors wich was very satured...

- I just realize the other day that since i use the highest bitrate possible (near 12 Mps, average bitrate ,3 pass)  the dvd could don´t work proepely on some old dvds players but on all the pc that i tried it works perfect

- The audio is Excelent (for the standards of the common bootleg) as i use the Sir Gh matrix/merge and i udupate a bit with some little parts of the audio from the recently bbc documental

- The dvd authory is mine and of course isn´t the best... the same for the artwork... pero seguro de eso puede encargarse gente como Ale Solan  ja ja (te mande al frente, pero al menos en español)

* Just in case, here i will post on mediafire all the "´39" performance (only a bit compressed to agilize the temporal download) extracted of my burned dvd, if you don´t like the quality of this sample please Do not wast your time and Do not download the dvd:

Thanks Merqry !

I wish I had known you were planning on sharing this, as I would have sent you my updated merge.  There are more bits from BoRhap and Ogre Battle from the Days Of Our Lives documentary, and of course You Take My Breath Away from the ADATR bonus disc..

=========================================================
I obviously have to ask: If you're merging audio from numerous sources, won't it be obvious and therefore off putting to listen to?

It's great MERQRY. To get a new version of the splendours Hyde Park show !!!  :)
 Many thanks !!
 Now let me watch ;)

Not quite correct.
The maximum video bitrate for DVD is 9.8 MBps for mpeg2 or 1.856 MBps for mpeg1 (thank god I haven't seen mpeg1-sourced DVDs for many, many years).
The maximum bitrate for ALL streams TOGETHER is 10.08MBps (video + audio + subpicture streams).

Also I play many DVDs on my PC via PowerDVD and the version I'm using (because it came with my DVD burner) has BIG problems if the max bitrate jumps over 10.08MBps. It actually STOPS the video playback for a short time, but the audio playback continues, so the rest of the DVD has pretty bad video-audio synchronization problems ! I have no idea if other players have problems with it too or if it's just a PowerDVD problem, but my (older) standalone Toshiba player always stops the DVD playback COMPLETELY and returns back to the menu as soon as the bitrate exceeds the specifications

No

How does this compare to the usual dvd with the Roger Taylor menu? Would like the views of someone whos downloaded n watched it on a tv screen as its often hard to tell by a screenshot :)

===========================================

The "usual DVD with the RT menu" was done by me back in 2001. It's from a mono QTV transmission and only has single channel audio (centre channel), because it seemed pointless using two channel audio as TV's back then would still output it to their left and right channels.

Being a fussy bugger for quality (and I'll ALWAYS favour video quality over a PCM soundtrack!), I'll let you know later today how it compares.

Well as you made the original dvd I was talking about you will be the best person to compare it  lol
cheers mate

Enough the first one

QUALITY COMPARISON BETWEEN THIS AND THE 'OLD' VERSION WITH THE ROGER TAYLOR MENU

Okay, I've done an A/B test with this download and the DVD I made 10 years ago and have found the following:

1) The Audio on this 'new' version is better than the audio on mine (no surprise there!)

2) This new version appears to be a generation higher than mine.

However, there are pros and cons with each version:

Whilst mine looks a generation lower than this one and contains the QTV logo, this one still has the QTV logo, though it has been 'cleaned off' by the software that "removes logos". You can see a fuzzy box where the QTV logo should be.

This 'new' version also has horizontal picture wobble (I can't descibe it any better than that) whereas mine doesn't, but this could simply have bee caused during the capture procedure from VHS IF the person who did it has used a VHS player with built in TBC.

The colours on this 'new' version are more stable, as though they were played from a VHS recorder with built in "Time Base Corrector", either that or it's been run through some additional software like "Neat Video" - something which wasn't available 10 years ago.

So. It's a toss up really between a 'clean' looking picture that suffers from horizontal 'banding' wobbling, or the old picture that doesn't wobble but isn't quite as good.

Mine is the original recording onto VHS from the QTV 'broadcast', so they're both form the same master-tape effectively.
It's all down to which convention venue the 'new' one was recorded (It's pre-2000, I can tell you that because the picture doesn't suffer from Channel 5 interference!) and where in-line from the source the chalet was! I'm convinced that the chalets at Prestatyn were all connected via cable and the further down the line you were, the worse the signal was.
Of course,being recorded on a new machine, an old machine or even an SVHS recorder will also make the difference between quality!

=================================

Unzip the first one and it will automatically unzip all of the others in sequence to leave with  video_ts & audio_ts folders which you can then drop into 'Nero' (or whatever you use) to burn the DVD.
Be warned. It probably won't work in a DVD player because of the high bitrate of the video, but it SHOULD work in a bluray player. (though don't quote me on that!)

Thanks! Is nero the best software you would recommend for this purpose?

I've been wondering how did you manage to deal the fact that you are joining a 16:9 source with a 4:3 source and your method is very "original" :-) The professionally released bits were 16:9, so they now look stretched, but otherwise it looks pretty good. Thanks for the share

Where do you have this list from ? It reminds me on a very very old (and very bad) VCD-sourced video which I created many, many (> 10) years ago, if I remember correctly

Many thanks everybody for your comments! and sorry for the delay...

i´ll try to answer some questions! but first of all i would like so much if some kind of moderator could delete the messages of rocknrolllover (Anton) that has nothing to do with my post of hyde park (he´s always repetitive and annoying)...

Bob: Don´t worry! although your merge probably is 100 times better than mine i made a kind of merge with the bits from the documentary and of course i added You take My Breath away from Hyde Park (i used a .wav rip from my own cd)

Brian Wig: Thank you so much for the info! very very useful... indeed i used a Vhs player with built in TBC so that´s why these horizontal wobble apeared! And yes, i forgot to say i remove the QTV symbol using a kind of filter (as you can see i´m not good with filters!)

Pittrek:Thanks! i worked so much with the 16:3 "official" footage trying that it looks and fits as well as i can... so i´m glad you like the result!

Dodger taylor: yes, so i think the problem is only in the old dvd players... in the blu ray players or even a new dvd player you won´t have no problems!

Wollshocks,time june,guitarmay,bokkepoot,etc: thanks again for your comments!

Javier Torres C: you don´t speak english,right? well i´ll speak you in spanish then: El torrent ese no lo hize yo... lo hizo un usuario que es muy Inconsistente y molesto asi que no te aseguro nada, ojala alguien de aqui pueda hacerte algun torrent sino baja los links con algun gestor de descargas como el Jdownloader, que te va a solucionar un monton las cosas...

vivaqueen: il n'y a pas de quoi! salut!

Cheers!

Dear, I don't care about your desire

Thanks again for this mate. Watched bits & its to me an improvement on the original ( which I also love by the way)...Good job on joining the sources together......I'm having problems with a couple of corrupt files though. Always seems to happen when I download from file sharing sites. It's probably my pc's ram on its way out.....I was wondering if anybody was thinking of making a working torrent ? Would be much appreciated. Cheers.

Currently downloading, waiting (impatiently) to watch it. Thank you very much!

Thanks so much for this dvd MERQRY, you've did a great job! :)

Hi again, Merq !   I must add, if you can work out how to merge in the new, excellent quality footage with the correct aspect ratio as the time-coded footage (so the band do not appear too tall and thin), that would be great ! You could call it version 2 or version 1.1 or something ! Well done for your efforts so far - your enthusiasm and love is touching .... Please continue with this work of love !

Thank you very much!!

For now, yes :-)
