Announce: Cross Meltdown alternate version

Sometime back I shared a PAL DVD version of this, but I quite like this version too.

Lineage is unknown but the video quality is about the same (trust me) however the audio sounds better.

It's also about half the size at 813mb

Pro Shot - 4:3 (Full Screen) NTSC - 29.97 fps

Single Vob file (MPEG2) 24 mins 13 seconds (slightly longer than PAL version)

I inserted a few subtle AV fades

12mb sample

NB. I also created an MP4 file for ipods - see below

Went down like a lead balloon then LOL!

I downloaded the sample last night, but I forgot to look at it. I'll watch it tonight and I'll post some feedback.

Cheers,

This was 1987.
Unless someone got hold of a master tape, it will be mono.
Nicam Stereo didn't start to be transmitted until 1988, and even then it was the London area only for a while.

Thanks,torrent anyone?

Thanks a lot.

Was there ever a rebroadcast? Could it be from cable or Sky?

I think this is possibly a mono HIFI recording, but I really don't know the story on it.

Not sure but I think it may have only been shown in the Thames Tv region.
I dont think cable was  in stereo back then so your probably right in saying its a mono broadcast recorded on a stereo vcr as they would of been around at that time.

Perhaps we get the Miklos version soon?

A wise man once said that patience is a virtue. I bet you 10 bucks that we'll get the Miklos version of Meltdown at least two years before the box set!

So what do you reckon on this version bigV?

Miles better than the last one. Very watchable and listenable! 

The previous version is still on my hard drive - as soon as I download this one I'll delete it and I'll keep this one as the definitive version... until Miklos' version surfaces ;)

By the way, would you mind if I YouTube a song or two from your version? (cool how I used YouTube as a verb there, innit?)
