Hi all,

I only recently downloaded some of these great videos, but can somebody explain to me why I can hear sound on some of them (NY '76, Hyde Park '76) and one some (Rainbow '74, Earls Court '77, Rio '85) not?

Thank you for your reply!

Because they have different audio streams. Through the years I've added everything from WAV, FLAC, M4A, AC3, AAC. All of them play fine for me and for many others. Install some audio drivers you might not have and try and use VLC player.

Thanks! Installing VLC Player did the trick.

I used to be quite good at this computer stuff when I was still in university, but since I got work, wife, kids, house, dog, etc. I simply can't find the time anymore to keep up to date on this stuff :)

Could you restore I Want To Break Free from the Greatest Flix DVD?

Thanks sir!

I have a question for Chinwonder and Chief Mouse.

I want to capture my vast collection of promo VHSs. I will do this in an uncompressed V210 10-bit YUV AVI file. Of course, I will maintain the frame size and rate of the original format, and keep everything interlaced with the proper field order.

I really cannot leave this as uncompressed because of the file size (+100 GB/hr). On the other hand, I want to share this stuff with people to use it for their open restoration/remastering projects, so I wouldn't want to lose too much information.

Which video codec do you recommend me to encode this stuff for those purposes?

I’d use Handbrake to encode to MKV and that will also compress the file size, without losing quality.

What videos do you have? :)

-Chin

But MKV is just a container, not a codec.

I don't have a list, but most of the VHS (and some Betas) are from the '90s. So there are a lot of Innuendo video clips in different versions, Made In Heaven promo clips, Rocks/The Eye stuff, EPKs, sales presentations, TV ads, DoRo trailers, etc. From memory, I think I have 3 VHSs including the full BBC2 broadcast of the Freddie Mercury Tribute, taken from a Japanese TV station.

Oh my mistake but yeah, that’s what I would do.

That’s awesome, would be great to see!

-Chin

I intend to share these in mkv - including waveform audio in 48 kHz/24-bit.

But I am still undecided on the video codec. Should I use a lossless codec, or I would encounter compatibility issues? H.264 at a high bitrate is enough?

My expertise is mainly on audio - not video.

Lagarith is pretty good! It weighs a bit, but far far less than uncompressed.
