MEGA: Queen - Live Aid Video + BBC FM Audio - Synchronized

Title pretty much says it all - I've synchronized the video with the radio broadcast audio for the ultimate Live Aid experience :)
The audio is the stereo FM broadcast originally shared by Owen Smith and pitch-corrected by Ale Solan. I had to alter the pitch even further (half a semitone) for it to run at the same speed as the official audio mixes of Live Aid - and to match the video.

Some video details:
Video; 720x576 AVC H.264 6Mbit

Enjoy!

For those wanting a preview, a slightly older and more rough mix can be seen here

Thanks much for your work and the share here.

Question:
What program do you use for pitching the audio in order to make it match the video?

I do my video editing on sony vegas and audio on Audacity/sony vegas.

Kind regards,

Thank you. :)

Hi Nitroboy .

Thanks for share !

Did you forget to include ITTWWC?

OK Sorry but I have to ask :-)

1) Why PAL resolution and NTSC framerate?
2) Why mp4?

1) I have a 25fps render here https://mega.co.nz/#!gYdCSSZb!In6ABuW8P-fVewwJ7hll-pVRJEFxsQ9B9qG7QA4KcZ0 but I think it looks better with the original framerate.

2) What would you have used in place of MP4?

amazing original broadcasts are the best imo , cant believe i was at knebworth some 28yrs ago tomorrow , wish that was broadcast on FM !!! anyway many thanks i will enjoy this at full volume and a few beers tonight.

I'm just asking :) PAL resolutions and NTSC framerate are a weird combination and some devices might have problems playing it (standalone players, TVs etc.) I can't unfortunately download the PAL version to compare - mega gives me an "temporal error"

MP4 - that's just a personal - what's the English word for the opposite of preference? I learned to hate the format after some bad experiences in the past. I personally prefer mkv which is free, allows lossless audio (unlike mp4's AAC), chapters, multiple audio tracks etc. But that's just my personal preference.

Thanks for the synchronization, I had something like that planned for a long time but never got to it.

BTW could somebody reupload the lossless audio? I was pretty sure I have it but I don't :-(

Thanks again

Thank you very much!!

Thank you ! The gig that makes me fan...and when my mind went back..clearly an upgrade because I have to watch it on a tiny black/white tube in my older brothers room back then.

Thanks!!
