Hey guys. After watching the original DVD a few times, I thought I could have done a much better job. So, I decided to re-do the whole thing from scratch, and I feel the new "product" is a lot better. The links for the new one are edited into the original Megaupload links.

The main reason for converting the video into 16:9 was because of the video noise in the bottom, but it lost a lot of the picture. So this time the video is in 4:3, without the stretched dimensions of the last attempt, and the picture quality is much, much better. Also, the last DVD had Get Down Make Love and Bohemian Rhapsody's endings out of synch, so those are fixed. The last video also had contrast levels that were too high, and that didn't help the picture in spots where the lighting was prominent.

The screenshots of the new video are here. Hopefully you like it more than the last attempt:

Also, the High Quality Japanese broadcast on the last DVD was compressed a bit. The new version I put in is in much better quality.

Lineage of the video is (I presume):

Video > Master Tape > ??? > High Generation VHS > "Live Crazy 1979" DVD > Synchronized with audio > Chaptered

The audio is the pittrek matrix. So due credit goes to him.

Overall, I like this version better, and I feel this is closer to what my original vision was.

Hope you like it!
