which one has the best picture quality? I'm only worried about visuals here, nothing else.

"Definitive Houston" is awfully compressed in some spots. Also the aspect ratio is strange (if I remember it well).
Visit my YT channel. I restore Queen footages. https://www.youtube.com/user/Bob8Harley

The version shared by YourValentine is a raw transfer of the best leaked VHS tape. The TommyGun version comes from the same source, but has different audio - the video might be re-encoded or the same, I don't remember. Definitive Houston is a Japanese bootleg, it's the same source, but it's converted to NTSC. The original tape was already converted from NTSC to PAL, so this DVD is actually NTSC -> PAL -> NTSC, plus it's a lossy mpg2 reencode of a lossy mpg2 encode. If I remember correctly they also made it darker, but I'm not sure anymore

Okay I downloaded what YourValentine shared and its the same version I had before where there's a skip every 5 minutes. Isn't that the Digital Queen Archives version? I thought there was supposed to be a better version than that.
