My Milton Keynes DVD Project

"Is it really complete?"

It isn't the complete concert - But it's longer than the edit frequently shown on VH-1.

It also contains interviews with fans, Rick O'Brien (Stage Manager) and Brian & Roger.

Ah, the "Long Version" concert. Thanks :)

"are you keeping it in OAR?"

Lol, I don't butcher my DVDs ! :)

Thank sfor the info on the disks.
I was going to try a branded name like Panasonic, TDK or Verbatim.
I'll probably do it again with better media.

How do I found out the compression used?

The bit rate of the final DVDR varies from about 6 to 9.9mb.sec if that's of use to you.

The South American Concerts (full) next (Brazil & Argentina), which I have in SVHS and better quality than MK.

Well, the compression is ALWAYS mpeg2, as you probably already knew. However that variable bitrate (6-9.9MB) seems more akin to 6MB constant. I made a 6min22sec featurette at 6MB constant bitrate that was 302MB. After a little multiplication, the number was similar to 4GB when I tried 80mins.

I usually get (analog) video into the computer and then make a constant bitrate project at 8MB. Then cart it off to software like Dvd-architect (Sonic Foundry). Once it's there, it gives further options for bringing the size down, e.g. bitrate (Very customisable), sound type (PCM or AC3) and the overall size of the project control.

Nice software. I'm pretty new to the software that has to be used. I'm still waiting for a professional piece of software, i.e. Sonic Scenarist. That's the one to get PRO results!

Peace,
Adam.

Just wondering if you've managed to do any screen grabs Kevo.

i was at the elland road gig (leeds) Great show so i was delighted to see the Milton one filmed. The tube was a great show back then. Do you recall the altered opening credits to the programme using red and green colour tinting of Rog and Bri from the concert.I was impressed by that back then!

soz if this has been mentioned in another thread somewhere but anyone know how many times Channel 4 has shown the Milton Keynes show?

'The tube was a great show back then.'

It ranks alongsidecOld Grey Whistle Test, as one of the best UK Music programmes ever.

Not yet, but will do this week. Just haven't had time to get round to it.
I'll post 'em here.

The 80 minute Channel 4 version has only been shown once (the version I recorded).

looking forward to it Kevo. please include your menus too.

Yep. OGWT was tops also.The tube was never dull. I think they also had the first full screening of Ga Ga if i'm not mistaken...

To Ogre and anyone else who is interested, I've made some screen grabs.

See them here....

Nice one Kevo, it looks like you've done an exceptional job on it.
