Lineage: TV master > Top Pop DVD 5 & 6 (EMI 5099923418592) > SolveigMM Video Splitter (just cutting, without re-encode) > vob

The Dutch Awards video from 1982, which was included in new "Queen Forever in Nederland" documentary, was taken from the same DVD. I've uploaded it here a couple of years ago, but someone re-encoded and widened it to the 16:9 resolution.

No we had direct access to the "Avro" archive. In fact the studio I was working for is the caretaker of the whole Avro archive.

So we did direct transfers of their masters.

Thanks Greg, but the KQ version you uploaded is the same i put on torrent yesterday, but these two versions are inferior (in my opinion) to Pittrek's video. Thanks anyway for uploading :-)

There's one little difference - your version has fade-out at the end, when my version hasn't, I've just made a cut before Baccara video starts, exactly the last frame. But the source is the same one, you're right.

Hey Ghostwithasmile - interesting to hear that - do you know how many Catapult (1974 - 1979) performances survive in the archive?

Hope this will help. Are you Dutch ? I never heared of Catapult before sorry..

Ah thanks. Those performances are all up on youtube, but interested in the interviews.

Not Dutch, just like awsome dutch glam rock!

I am quite sure those interviews will be in my language...

True, but certainly of interest to me.

Thanks Pittrek :)

Thank you!

Can someone upload the Pittrek file again? I missed it.
Thanks to Pittrek for the upload.
