Announce: Cross Meltdown - kurgans vault edition

For the record I think it's 1st or 2nd generation as I can't remember if I edited out adverts during transmission, or edited to second VCR at a later date.
(I did have two betamax machines for editing purposes back then).
Unfortunately these were only domestic VCRs with linear audio.

Lineage is either

Analogue mono TV broadcast > Sony betamax C9 > Verbatim DVD+R Dolby Digital 2.0 (256kps)

or

Analogue TV broadcast > Sony betamax C9 > Sony betamax C9 >Verbatim DVD+R Dolby Digital 2.0 (256kps)

Approx 1.6 GB (23 mins 42 seconds)  PAL with chapters (no menu)

Vob 1 file
Vob 2 file
Remaining Bup and Ifo files (4 files in VIDEO_TS folder)

Copy the two vob files into the VIDEO_TS folder (making six in total) and play with power dvd or burn to dvd with nero etc

Screen shot

A nice cover

I created chapters for each song.

NB - Betamax only lost the battle against VHS for one reason, and it certainly had nothing to do with quality.

For Dodger

I bet a lot of  "young" people, or at least not old enough will search for it so here is the link ;)

Thank you very much Kurgan!

Thanx Kurgan,the screenshot looks top quality.
Im dowloading asap lol

Thank you.
I didn't have Betamax. As far as I remember it was like a tape, turn it around and it played another 4 hours or so?
8 hours wasn't possible on a VHS back then.

No mate. That was video2000.


Thanks for the Beta copy Kurgan.
Hopefully it's better than my VHS!

Thanks Kurgan, just finished downloading, looks great!
I's say the Beta copy was direct from TV.

Finally finished downloading and burning to dvd.WOW what great quality.
Unless its re-broadcast (which is highly unlikely) I doubt theres a better copy in existance.
To me this has to been one of the best finds on Queenzone [img=/images/smiley/msn/teeth_smile.gif][/img]

thanks a lot kurgans! ur star of QZ!

Does this DVD have a "normal" menu or the blue DVD recorder-created "menu" ? Because the screenshot looks similar to one of my versions

kurgan100 thank you very much for sharing your copy with us!!!
Cheers!!!

OK I've just started the download and the first file wants to be downloading 20 hours, which I can't afford.
Could somebody please do a torrent ?

Thank you very much!!

It has no menu. It has never been shared and only traded once, so very unlikely to be my version.
