ANNOUNCE: Queen+Adam Lambert: Rock Big Ben Live (2014-12-31) HD1080i

I've uploaded a new unwatermarked HD1080i cap of the QAL Rock Big Ben Live. Download Source: Obtained via LaStupenda, capped by her friend. Confirmed by Source: No form of transcoding has been applied to source file. Notes: Unlike the cap by Rlsff, this is a perfect cap with the complete footage - does not have the audio volume fluctuation issues and missing footage in The Show Must Go On. I've also resynced the audio, adding a delay of 100ms, as the original transmission was out of sync. Please note that the slight video glitches in Somebody to Love and Fat Bottomed Girls were also in the official website video, which means this was a transmission issue, not a capping one. CRC for file verification: 8D2D11C3 MD5: 09ffcac0b891617b9269728979d9ef9ff5cea522 Here's the video stats for the remuxed file (fireworks intact): Here's the stats of the original, unremuxed file. Based on the VID, it should be a cap from Freesat

Many thanks for the 1080!

What's the source for this? It can't be TV since that would have the logo (?), it can't be the web-stream either as that would have the logo as well.
I'm just wondering, because AFAIK, all plausible source should be 720p.

I'm not sure myself. I originally thought it was satellite, but I just spoke to my friend who gave me the file, and it seems this capper doesn't do satellite. Anyway, if you want even higher quality stuff, I might be able to get hold of a MPEG-TS 29-36Mbps satellite source of of this video. Which would make it around 18GB...

Thanks!

Thanks!

Is there any artwork for this concert dvd?

From what I recall, BBC One HD's TV broadcasts don't contain the BBC logo (whereas streaming live on the internet and watching on-demand using iPlayer does). The old BBC HD channel (which showed content from BBC One and Two) did used to have a logo in the top left corner.

However, when that channel operated, the output was never truly HD; it was 1440x1080, again going on memory. That's going back to 2009 or so, mind you, so perhaps they now broadcast content at the full resolution now they have separate HD channels for BBC One and Two.

Thanks for the upload; the even higher quality feed would go down a treat if it's made available, I'm sure!

the full soundcheck and rehearsals have also went live through the satellite feed around 5-7 pm, some satellite feed hunter surely recorded the stream somewhere in the world.

BBC One HD and BBC Two HD are now full 1920 x 1080 on all services (Freeview HD, Freesat/Sky and Virgin Cable). A couple of items mean this cannot be a direct Freeview HD capture however:

i) Freeview HD uses AAC sound, not AC3. The sound could have been transcoded, but if so it should have been done to a much higher bitrate than 192kbps to avoid as much as possible further loss in quality.

ii) Freeview HD encoders dynamically switch video between 1080i and 1080p on a per i-frame basis depending on which encoding renders higher quality / lower bit rate output. On my TV I've seen it change from 1080i to p and back to i in less than 5 seconds. If the video stream does not do this then it is unlikely to be a Freeview HD stream capture, though it's not impossible the encoder decided to stick with 1080i the entire way through.

Thanks for the upload, if u could get your hands on the larger file that would be great, everything shared so far is not as good as that would be.

I've checked the Freeview HD recording on my parents' PVR and there is no on screen channel logo, either during the concert or for the midnight fireworks. I would upload this recording, but it was very windy which caused picture breakup in a few places due to movement of the aerial. My Freeview HD PVRs back at my own house in Cambridge probably made better recordings, my aerial is in the loft and not affected by weather. But I won't be able to upload any of those until next weekend.

If people can wait that long I can upload a definitive raw Freeview HD capture, but it won't be edited it will have stuff on the start, end and the fireworks in the middle.

Thanks for this, but why is it completely out of sync?

EDIT : Alright I checked it in various players - in VLC and XBMC it plays correctly, in every other player, including my TV the audio comes too late.

How did you set the delay? It's obviously not working as I would expect :-)

thanks a lot terraj. i see this is full hd resolution but on my laptop it looks worse than your 720p upload.

Thank you! To be honest, I should have realised that the HD channel doesn't contain the logo long ago, since I've been watching lots of Doctor Who for the past few years :P [QUOTE] [b]pittrek wrote:[/b] Thanks for this, but why is it completely out of sync?

If you want you can just set back the delay to 0 and it should be fine on your TV, but I suspect that it could be that your TV isn't handling the delay setting well, and a better method would be to losslessly add silence to the AC3 using delaycut. I have to admit that I haven't tested this on anything besides VLC, because normally my WDTV player hasn't had any problems with videos synched with TSMuxerGui so far. Is anyone else having problems with this sync? [QUOTE] [b]queenside wrote:[/b] thanks a lot terraj. i see this is full hd resolution but on my laptop it looks worse than your 720p upload. [/QUOTE] Maybe your laptop can't handle the 1080i? It's a H264 encode so requires more processing power. If you mean worse looking because of the lines, that's due to the interlacing (1080i). In VLC, you can turn on the deinterlacing function by typing "D" and it will blend the frames and look smoother. Interlacing is not visible if processed directly by your TV.

Thanks for the info, since I'm the only one having problems I'll re-mux it for myself. Thanks again for the upload
