ANNOUNCE: THE FREDDIE MERCURY VIDEO (DORO 1995 DOCUMENTARY

Thanks dave76 for the share, can't wait to watch this properly!

I've run the entire audio through a high-quality declicker, and the results are much more listenable (though there's probably some loss of detail, I haven't done a proper A-B comparison).
Here's a sample:

MP3 Link (As the original audio is only 128kbps AC3):

I can upload in FLAC too if wanted but that may take some time.[/QUOTE]

That would be amazing. Placing it under the video and it would be an amazing improvement.

Great documentary . Lots of unseen footage.

Big Thanks.
But why it was not released in those days?[/QUOTE]

They never finished it. There are some spots suposed to have Brian and Roger interviews inserted. I don´t know if the interviews were made, but they were not inserted in this version.

But it´s a great documentary, so i don´t know why it was never finished and released.

Can someone youtube it please.

Edit: Ah, already there.

"Beautiful!"

I'm not surprised. It was just a matter of hours.

Thanks for the youtube sample, so now I'm sure. It's MY transfer. As I wrote before, I have transferred a couple of other tapes that day too and only this one ended with this annoying background noise, not sure why. Also, I was recording in stereo, but both channels have the same content.
There is one another version available, made from a DIFFERENT copy of the tape. From what I've heard it should have much worse video quality, but better sound (and stereo). Before you ask - no, I don't have that second version. I wonder HOW did this copy "leak" but the owner of the tape isn't very pleased about it all.

Anyway, since it's out already, enjoy it guys.

Thank you very much!!!

When did you first acquire the tape?

I don't have the tape, I have only done the transfer, image remastering and DVD authoring. It was done in 2012 if I remember correctly

Has it been investigated if it was something Dave R. Fuller had access to?

Thank you very very much for sharing this gem! Thanks to all the people involved.

But do you think it´s possible for that person to let someone rip the audio so it can be synched to this version?
I think it´s a win-win situation for everybody.

This YT user seems to have the definitive version (both audio and image are great)

I don´t know if he posts in Queenzone, but it would be great to have some help with this issue. It´s a great documentary, and it would be great to have the best sound possible.

Great job !

Indeed, someone just needs to synch your FLAC version to the video and we'll have a much better copy.

I'd be willing to do the synch work.
