Here's the cleaned up audio in FLAC:

Enjoy![/QUOTE]

Can I ask how does ac3 end up in flac?
There will not be enough room on a DVD-5 for LPCM, and is the flac actually any better sounding than your mp3?


[/QUOTE]

The audio editor I was using couldn't open the ac3 file, so I had to transcode it to FLAC. I've shared a FLAC version so that people can have a version without loss of quality from compressing it for a second time. There's probably not much audible difference, here's a FLAC sample (https://mega.co.nz/#!NBskWKCa!05YW4ogHdHxeoeFDV42kl1w-jzxOMT946dNHw6vlYR4) to compare with an MP3 sample (https://mega.co.nz/#!cAlwAJIY!doIsXNjOKhLau2EcPaazokVCGryimbHhW6WpPOV-GCs)

It's got hiss reduction artifacts, so it's still not a perfect audio track, however it's much less distracting.[/QUOTE]

Yes I'm afraid I used quite an aggressive setting, I was really aiming more for listenability rather than preserving the details, but perhaps I went a little too far. You could always use a mix of the two versions to try and balance the original problem and the artifacts. The problem's much more complicated than simple clicking, I wouldn't know how to deal with it properly!

Thank you :) A couple of days ago( in a different thread) I`ve said we will have it sooner or later...The sooner the better !

I can make a DVD-9 with PCM audio if there's enough interest for it?[/QUOTE]

It would be great!

If someone is interested in obtaining the original DoRo VHS tape with this unreleased documentary, please drop me a PM. For serious collectors only.
P.S. Just for information: the original tape has the same sound problems.

Just sent you a PM

Just one question:

How can the original DoRo VHS tape have the same sound problems when Pittrek admited that it was his tranfer that messed the sound?

Does your tape has this quality?

That clip has noticeable audio problems as well - although the uploader has tried to filter them.

The uploader didn't do anything with the sound. It's just the same as on the DoRo VHS tape.

I´m interested. Thanks for doing it (in case you do this project).

Alright, I'll do one then. Just give me a few days, been in the middle of doing a lot of household work throughout the weekend for my family, so haven't had time for any side projects!

Looking forward to your improved version ;)

Thank you sooooo much for your sharing. I love Freddie sooo much as well as Queen. :-)

By the way, did someone make a cover or DVD art for the documentary?

Any news about the fixed audio version? Can´t wait to download the DVD.
