This DVD here IS NOT LPCM audio.
It is uncompressed AC3 audio to LPCM.Therefore it's still AC3 ...lossy.
The version i am doing will be pure LPCM.Real LPCM.
Basically when i'm done,it will be the definitive of Houston 77.
EDIT:....sorry Tgunn,you told of the AC3 while i was posting this.[/QUOTE]
Why wouldn't I tell? It sounds great, better than any other version so far.
If you have the LCPM why don't you up just the audio?
Then I'd like to see if you can squeeze a full LPCM audio file onto a DVD5.

928 has stated before that he has two options:
Double layered DVD or 2 DVD´s.
I still don´t know in wich format he will upload it (in case he does), but i only asked because after he stated what he was doing there were some people loosing time trying to do the same thing. I apreciate all the work (and you already stated that you didn´t knew about his work), but since this type of work is time consuming -and i hate doing it myself ; ) - i was just wondering why people are still doing it when he has the best audio source avaiable!
But let me tell you that i apreciate you efforts to make a better version avaiable in the Queen comunity. Thanks for sharing!
Take care[/QUOTE]
I wasn't sure if anyone was authoring a DVD with the lossless audio. I waited for a while to see if anyone would post the LPCM here, when I saw nothing I simply authored the DVD with the decompressed AC3, which I reduced to mono and then doubled the volume, as Bob had suggested.
It was an easy process, the menu took some time, but I kept the Tsunami project file, and if I need to, I can make another DVD easily with lossless audio, or download 928's "ultimate" version. If I reauthor mine, I will look for some high res photos of the Houston concert on this site.
Once I had added the chapters, it took about 30 minutes to build DVD files and then 15 minutes to burn a copy to a DVD-RW so I could see and hear how it turned out.
I was blown away. I have the other version, with the vertical lines, and I thought that DVD had the best audio until I played this. It's LOUD, sounds great, and LOOKS great, the video is beautiful. So, I thought some people here might want a better sounding version, and one with chapters and menus.
If 928 or whoever else decides to author a better version, wonderful. I would definitely download it, for trading and sharing purposes, but I honestly don't think the audio will sound that much better. I will make a big difference in that it will be lossless, while this is lossy, but for now I can live with this version.
I played it three times over the weekend, by the way. It's the best Queen concert I have seen on video.

Hard to believe, isn't it?
I think the original audio was mono.
Do you know of anyone who has stereo audio, or if it exists even?

Perhaps QP has the multitrack, but as far as we know there isn't one. Every documentary and even Rare Live has a mono soundtrack (assumingly the video feed). This DVD shared here is just as good as any of these official sources.

Thanks, Bob.
How can you tell is an audio source was originally mono, even if it was later made into pseudo-stereo?

Honestly, I came across this solution by sheer chance. All I can suggest is you randomly try this on various recordings to see the result!
But to tell you the truth, the only time I've ever seen this kind of thing is with Houston 77... two different versions, several gens apart. Who knows how it got that way...

OK folks,
The audio discs finally arrived(thx Dennis).
They are lossless.
They are not stereo but mono on stereo(not fake stereo.....yet).
Work has begun but i want some opinions from y'all on something before i go ahead & do this idea.
Here is what i want to know>
Would you all prefer that i leave those still photos between songs......or.......would you think it better if i replaced those with audience footage instead..you know,to keep the whole show moving.
Let me know what you think.If the yes to no ratio is higher...i shall commence with the idea.

Do you have any good audience footage ? If no, better leave there the photos.

I think he means footage of the audience, the camera is on the audience, not the band filmed by someone in the audience.

Someone at TTD told me that if you run the audio through cool edit pro you should be able to tell if the audio is stereo. Can you tell with Goldwave also?

Audience footage is audience footage,it doesn't even have to come from the same show or even a Queen show..it's audience,people having a good time.
I just feel that those stills break the enjoyment flow down a tad....like gaps on a CD.You're sort of left in limbo waiting for something.You with me?

I agree and cast my vote for audience footage rather than stills.
