Tokyo 1979-04-25 - DVD by Chief Mouse

Hopefully you use good PC DVD players. As far as I've experimented the Windows Media Player is pretty bad, in a way that when it deinterlaces it looks sort of like painting, It looks more sort of smeared than it actually is and loses detail. VLC is pretty fine, but it often displays buttons in wrong colours. Looks like as if WMP adds some more automatic denoise and sharpens. I've noticed that only with interlaced sources.

I'd suggest this way for PC -
1. Burn the DVD VIDEO_TS folder into ISO image with ImgBurn.
2. Then mount it on a virtual drive, for example Daemon Tools.
3. Watch with Cyberlink PowerDVD.

Can't wait to watch it. Thanks a lot for your effort Chief Mouse and many thanks bokkepoot for the torrent file. Great upgrade I think...

thank you for this upgrade

Couldn't agree more with what you said, vlc is the best standalone media player for PC I think, but not perfect. Steps 1-3 above are the very best option for watching DVD on your PC without burning a DVD disk, it's the method I always use and I highly recommend it. If you don't know how to mount a DVD .iso with Daemon tools check out youtube.

I have no words to describe your work!!!

Thanks a lot!

Thanks a lot for this!

Thank you for all the work

This is amazing! Many thanks for all the work and sharing!

Thanks so much for this wondrful job!! *bows*

Best way to watch DVDs on a computer without mounting or burning?

Install Combined Community Codec Pack (freeware), it features Media Playe Classic

once you installed that one, just go to the folder where you have the DVD files and open "VIDEO_TS.IFO"; that opens automatically the root menu, that's all ;)

This is out of topic but how did you create "animated case" view of DVD cover. Is there any software or any website to create them?

Sorry for my ignorance :-)

I used IMANDIX CoverPro.

Thanks a lot Chief Mouse for share your amazing work. Also thanks to bokkepoot for making torrent.

I have just watched it and a few things ...

Things which I liked
- the colour correction
- partial noise reduction
- recreated japanese texts
- the disc menu :-)
- 2 audio tracks (did you do something to "my" mix? It sounds better than the original TV mix, which is surprising :-) )
- The Show Must Go On video - great editing man !

Things which I didn't like
- removing the texts - in some places it works great, but in some parts it's a blurry mess
- the "alternate footage" has pretty bad quality, I wonder who gave you it in such a bad shape :-) Unfortunately I have only NOW noticed that Sheer Heart Attack has audio from one night only, but the video features parts from probably 3 nights :-( I AM VERY SORRY about that man!

Overall impression - great work and thanks for the share !

No, I didn't do anything to the audios. At least not on purpose. The original I think I stretched for like 1 second longer or something like that, to sync better. Vegas automatically makes it louder for some reason when stretching. So I matched up the loudness of your audio as well. That's pretty much all I did to them. I didn't stretch yours. I just aligned it to original by tracks.

I removed them only for that reason that I couldn't be bothered to re-create all those Japanese subs or credit texts whatever they were (apart from song titles. I was already fed up creating those, lol). And there probably are better and more clever ways to remove such stuff, but I haven't got further than just making a red blob in paint and blurring it out with DeLogo. I'd need to learn to use that filter better.

Thanks. Hopefully fans find it useful :-)
