Is no-one uploading using torrents anymore?
I can't download this due to traffic limit (I won't spend a single dime on MEGA)
Torrent anyone?
Thanks.

Still no torrent.
I don't feel like sharing anything anymore at this pace...

Although recorded in the UK, I think you will find this version has the US narration by Henry Rollins as opposed to the UK narration.
Can I ask what TBC you have used to make your SVHS transfers, or is it just part of the deck circuity?

It's been a while since I watched and recorded some of these old Queen docs. I didn't realise that there were two narration versions. I think I have two versions of this, a SVHS source and this one a DVR source ( I corrected this in a previous post on this thread). This 'Legends' doc was one of many tape>DVD conversions I did back around 2002/3 when I bought my first Panasonic HDD/DVD recorder.
As regards SVHS and TBC in general, I think it's part of the VCR's circuitry. There are further options called 'BEST' and 'EDIT' mode along with TBC which you can turn on and off during playback. I sometimes find having TBC in can cause slight 'jumpy' playback. It's a JVC HRS8880(?) which I bough from John Lewis in the mid/late 90s and still going strong, although I only use it occasionally for tape>digital conversions like this.

For VHS & SVHS transfers I recommend TBC off and Edit on using an s-video cable.
The result being that more information is retained as the ''softening'' circuitry is disabled during play back in edit mode.
Not important unless you want to process after transferring.
Are you certain your SVHS recordings are actually SVHS?
No disrespect intended, but they actually look like VHS.
My Panasonic VCR has a switch to record in either SVHS or VHS, and the difference is quite apparent.

I've been using SVHS since the mid 90s. I started with videoing weddings and events semi-professionally and have been through 3 x SVHS VCRs since, so I am quite familiar the techs (inc s-video, TBC, 'EDIT' mode which i use by default) and since then HDD/DVDRs, HDD/Blu Ray recorders etc.. Nearly always Panasonic gear apart from my last SVHS VCR which is JVC, which I agree was a cheaper model compared to my previous Panasonic HS1000 which was more for editing than just simple record and play.
I disagree, I think they clearly look like SVHS, you can notice the extra resolution (less fuzzy and basically more 'punch').
Im viewing my clips on a 55" 4K TV and the SVHS stuff looks very passable where as the VHS stuff looks (obviously) dreadful!
Which clips do you think look like VHS? (I'm a bit offended TBH as I have always gone to great lengths to produce the best quality in terms of picture and audio with my videos. This goes back to the early days of VHS to present with HD and now 4K
The VH1 legends is a DVR recording and clearly at DVD SD quality

just wanted a verification, and you've done that now thanks.
Sorry you took offence, and thanks for the uploads.

Ok, np. Can confirm that from my recent uploads, Queen Phenomenon, Killer Queen Doc, Rock Shrines, Freddie Met Kenny are all SVHS 1st gen off air recordings. I converted them all from the original SVHS tapes to DVD-R just last week apart from KQ which I already converted back in 2002.
