ANNOUNCE: Queen + Adam Lambert - 2014-12-31 - BBC1 Freeview HD Raw

Queen + Adam Lambert Rock Big Ben Live
Westminster Central Hall, London
31 December 2014

BBC1 Freeview HD raw capture
Humax HDR Fox T2 set top box
Received from Sandy Heath transmitter
Recorded by Owen Smith

Video: 1920 x 1080i50 H.264
Audio: 48KHz Stereo AAC

DVB Subtitles are present and have been successfully displayed in VLC.

AAC Audio commentary for visually impaired is present but I have not managed to play it in VLC. It is supposed to be mixed with the primary audio stream during playback.

These are the raw files from my set top box without any editing. This includes 5 minutes of the Graham Norton Show before the start, and 10 minutes of whatever was on afterwards. The midnight fireworks in the middle of the concert are intact.

Being the raw files, this also includes a lot of additional PIDs which are for the Freeview EPG (Electronic Programme Guide). Stripping these would probably reduce the filesize considerably.

The .hmt, .nts and .thm files are sidecar files for Humax set top boxes. They contain recording information and allow trick play controls to work, including skip backwards/forwards and other such things. They are probably of no use unless you have a Humax box.

Thank you :)

Note this is 4.67 GB in size, so with my ADSL upload speed it will take quite a while to upload. I reckon around 24 hours even if you got all of my upload speed, and there are other things going on which means you're unlikely to get all of my upload speed. I seed 24/7 so please just persevere, it will download eventually.

That was fast, how do you spot things so quickly?

Nice one Owen, your efforts are much appreciated. :)

Two downloading already, which means I didn't screw up the torrent and don't have the embarrassment of having to repost. Great!

Interesting, thanks a lot

Thank you!

Many thanks for sharing this.

Please can you describe how you managed to obtain the files from your Humax machine. I've been looking for a way to do this for ages but without much success.

Thank you.

Go to http://www.hummy.tv/ and ask the same question. Make sure to state which Humax model you have, and post in the correct forum for your model.

Thank you!

Thanks a lot for this Owen. I enjoyed the fireworks, so i really appreciate that you kept it in your share.

Thanks. I'll have a look.

Well this is by far the most popular thing I've ever shared. 20 peers connected, and uTorrent says there are 50 in total in the swarm but I never know whether to trust that.

Anyway, it's at about the 50% mark uploading to everyone, and I have been able to increase the upload speed a bit. Another day and it should be uploaded to most peers.

Initial upload has finished just now. There are currently 26 seeds, so if you were waiting for a fast download now is the time to jump in. In my experience most of these seeds won't hang around long.
