The original video was uploaded here - http://www.queenzone.com/forums/1423475/1978-04-20-rotterdam-ahoy.aspx
I didn't want to do anything with it but when I did some tests I found it's a very good video for stabilizing. And thought - why not?
There is some cropping due to stabilizing but I believe none of the important information in the shot is lost.
I also reduced the heavy grain and removed the duplicates and made it real 25 FPS with interpolation so that it looks a bit smoother in motion.
What I ended up with I believe is almost as good as a pro video now. Maybe not really, but now it looks smoother and more steady and a bit cleaner. Some of you might prefer the original though - it looks more like a handheld camera and makes you think you're there, it's more raw (obviously).
This is a slightly different representation of this amazing super 8 mm source. I hope you will find it as a good alternative.
The grain is still there although it's not nearly as strong. The youtube video is not an accurate representation due to compression.

By the way, I took a look at the 2 youtubes in your signature, and they are beautiful.

It's exactly the same. VLC doesn't display it correctly.
For some reason there are glitches with MPEG-2 files in VLC, for example Antiden's files which skip and according to VLC run about 5 seconds.

Both VLC AND format factory are showing your mkv as 7.02 but the original vob share was 6:48
