This "upgrade" differs from the previous upload in a couple of ways.
There is no short "edit" during "It's A Hard Life".
There is extra footage which features brief rehearsal material and different camera angles for "It's A Hard Life" and "We Will Rock You".

Thank you for this upgrade, you should have made the audio LPCM(lossless), Dolby 2.0 or AC3 is a compressed(lossy) format.
Is it too late to fix it?

My source from Sky HD box doesn't allow me to access the LPCM audio when I transfer to the standalone DVD so unfortunately you are correct in saying the audio could be technically better.....however having watched the DVD and compared it to the original broadcast I can't hear any difference.....then again my hearing may be shot!!!
(Also having made some home DVDs with LPCM audio....I've noticed that the bitrate for the video is reduced to cope with the increase in the audio bitrate so in a way it's a trade off with more info going into the picture which hopefully is worth it)

Ah right, thanks for explaining, as you said it's not much of a differance anyway. The video will be well worth it.
LPCM would not have affected your bitrate btw, it caps at 8.5Mbs.
Thanks again.

Thanks for this. How come there's no short edit during Hard Life? Surely the HD and SD Broadcasts were the same?

Anyone else see some distracting green lines or dots across the top of the video in full screen mode, or do I have a codec problem?

When watching on PC you will see these green lines which I believe are due to the fact that you will be seeing all the lines of the picture (ie 625) however on most TVs these will not be seen because the first few lines of the picture are generally hidden (unless you have manually altered the proportions of the image displayed in a service menu).

Is it too late to fix it? -------------------------------------------------------- Just so that everyone is aware, neither Sky nor Freesat broadcasts an LPCM soundtrack - it takes up far too much bandwidth. All video streams are encoded with an AC3 soundtrack - even on the HD channels.
