Well maybe you can help me babysit my grandchildren! TEEHEEHEE!

Seriously though, the only thing about that video that wasn't quite right was the audio (more so in the speaking parts), so this will be awesome.

Do you have an approximate ETA for this? Under pressure! LOL!

OK, thanks! I'll keep checking in. Can you post here that it's up.... asks the newbie?

[QUOTE] [b]Ale Solan wrote:[/b]
thanks so much Terra again for your help, but in fact, with those specs I can't do even a DVD-9, less with dual audio...
in the next days I'll create a DVD but with downgraded specs, hoping that someone here creates a proper BR disc, I don't have enough time for that ;)

Oh you're right, I forgot DVD video requires MPEG and this HD resolution is too high for DVD too :P I haven't formatted a DVD video in a long time - normally I just dump my videos into my WDTV ;)

Anyway I will send you the audio sometime this weekend. As usual it much longer than I thought it was going to take...

The TALC audio was about 250ms longer than the video's audio, which resulted in the TALC audio going out of sync with the video over time. So I had to make some very tiny snips in parts of the TALC audio to keep it in sync. (I suspect the feature in the Q3HD audio recorder, which prevents clipping, somehow introduces a delay in the audio when the recorder corrects for sudden bursts of volume).

I'll upload the audio after I've QC-ed it.

Thank you! It's finally working.

The quality of this video is absolutely brilliant ! Thanks for sharing it with us.

Six gigs in and they really are gelling well together. This actually makes me wish they'd take this show around the world. I'd happily pay to see the guys rock one more time.

Same here! I hope they come to North America. The mutual love and respect and playfulness between Adam and Brian are priceless... Plus the music ain't half bad! LOL!

Hi there, first of all thanks for your wonderful job and for sharing it here for all of us!, I was wondering that the format (.MTS) I can't burn it using the Nero software, because it doesn't allow that format and it doesn't recognize it as a DVD-Video file, so how can I put in onto a dual layer DVD?, thanks in advance to all the people in the forum!

It has to be converted to DVD format before you can burn it as a DVD (will result in visual quality loss cos a DVD cannot handle HD and files in this format). If yo want to burn as a DVD, wait for Ale Solan's DVD version which he will make after he gets my new audio which i should upload this weekend.

I will be posting instructions here later on how to merge my better audio with the video in a single file if you simply want to play it on your computer or a media player like WDTV or PS3 without burning to DVD.

You really have a weird sense of humor, brilliant hd quality still doesn't make this casting guy a brilliant singer!

This comment seems out of place in a thread started by an obvious Adam fan in the spirit of sharing wonderful footage of a concert performed by Queen and Adam. I am sure that there are many threads in this forum where those types of views can be freely shared.

I have been made to feel very welcome in sharing this video and I find myself quite disconcerted to end my experience here on this note.

Finally! Here's my improved audio for this video recording with instructions on how to merge the improved audio with the video:

Instructions (Windows):
----------------------------------------
1) Download and extract the improved audio here: http://www.mediafire.com/?mnydtt0vy1cute3,3sszsbzwbvygw96
(The audio is a mix of TALC's audio & the video's audio)
2) Load tsMuxerR GUI (download here: http://www.videohelp.com/tools/tsMuxeR)
3) Follow the instructions in this screenshot: http://www.mediafire.com/view/?pjdf4k42fl0mobx

/FIN

Mac users:
---------------
I don't know an equivalent of tsMuxerR GUI for Mac that works properly, but you can use MKVToolNix to achieve a similar effect (output will be in *.MKV, not *.TS).
The steps to join the files should be almost similar to tsMuxer as the interface is quite similar (except "Join" in tsMuxer is called "Append" in MKVToolNix).
MKVToolNix can be downloaded here: http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtoolnix/

Notes:
---------
So the improved audio took far longer than I expected, due to 2 reasons:
1) For some weird reason, the audio by TALC is about 250-300ms longer than the audio in the video, so TALC's audio drifts off from the footage over time and gets very out-of-sync by the 2-hour mark.
2) While the TALC audio sounds great on headphones, due to the way the audio is distributed in the left & right audio channels, the sound doesn't translate too well on TV; the video's audio on the other hand sounds mostly ok on TV but really lacks dynamic range and bass, and is extremely thin on headphones.

Steps I took:
----------------
1) Using Adobe Audition, I made cuts in between tracks to sync the TALC audio with the video's footage & audio. (Originally I tried to simply change the speed of the audio to match the footage but it resulted in a whole series of complications that I shall not go into here.) The audio transitions between the cuts are seamless (Audition has an auto 2ms crossover fade feature that ensures this.) No cuts were made during songs.
2) I boosted TALC's audio's mid to high frequencies using Audition's Multiband Compressor (see settings used here: http://www.mediafire.com/view/?een5ecpel5nhss2), as well as slightly balanced the audio channels using Amplify. Bass was slightly reduced.
3) Mixed the video's audio (-0.5dB) with TALC's audio (ensuring everything's in sync) to create an audio track that sounds pretty good both on TV and on headphones.
4) Exported to WAV > transcoded to AC3 using FFmpeg commandline.

Hope you like the result!
