thanks a lot frank. just watched this one and indeed it's better picture quality than rein's  version, but thanks a lot to rein too, you guys are great! on frank's version there is no ghosting as someone says it's the issue on rein's version. this is probably ultimate edition (quality wise) until official release. too bad it's edited but that's to be expected from QP cos they're going to officially released it one day. maybe someone will put this 2009 edition with old room 101 edition to make it complete (pittrek?)

I don't think it's worth such a work to make a completer version since the official release is next to pop up.

Yes!!!! Thx so much. I was so hoping someone who knew how to do it right would have done it. 1000 times thank you!!!

Not the finest words to choose, after my attempt. (if I read correctly between the lines - forgive me when I'm wrong)
I can only say I did the best I could while there was no other share available in the short time after the BBC broadcast. (presuming lots of fans would have recorded this show).
Hey buddy, you got it for free you know. I come from the time where you had to wait a year or more for a new Queen album to hit the shops and had to save money for it or to see their shows.

Believe me, I think the internet is one of the greatest things of our time, considering how we can share precious stuff like a lot of us do here on Queenzone. It often amazes me what brilliant stuff people come up with. But it also makes us want MORE MORE MORE even before we have digested what has just been offered to us.
 
But sure, enjoy what's given to you. You should.
I certainly do and really appreciate the newer (sattelite) version. Thanks to the uploader!

Thank you very much.

I liked so much: it's great quality

MERCI BEAUCOUP

Thanks a lot for this one. Can't wait see how it looks.

Thanks so much for this newest effort and the quality that it represents. Its a very clear recording and thanks for the effort to preserve its quality.

Thanx for this.I did record it from freeview myself,but just wanted to see if this version is any better :)

Sorry, I forgot to mention but as you can see Frank's share has MPEG-1 audio, not AC3 but still, picture quality is better ;-)

A question - is the MPEG-1 compression a limitation of the equipment used by Frank? Could he have recorded with better audio quality?

Regarding the audio on this DVD: this is also the exact audio of the BBC broadcast, so no loss, re-encoding or anything.
The audio is MPEG-1 Level 2 (often named MP2), which is similar in quality to MP3.

Greetings,
Frank

Thanks a lot for this.

Is there artwork on the horizon?

One question for the recorder: Could you have recorded this with LPCM audio?

Thanks again.

Many thanks for taking the time to do this.

Thank you very much, Frank!!! [img=/images/smiley/msn/teeth_smile.gif][/img]
