My Milton Keynes DVD Project

Very impressive Kev. Quality looks great, menus are well constructed and seem easy to use.

Now, how can I get a copy :-)

Is it Region All?

Im interested in a copy too :D

"Is it Region All? "

I've no idea, i assume so. I'll try it out tonight on diff regions.

For the record it's PAL

Will this be put on the hub?

And if you burnt it yourself, then there shouldn't be any region coding. We consumers aren't as dumb as the studios!

Peace,
Adam.

I know it's PAL already. If it is Regions 1 thru 6 (or 1 thru 8, or R ALL), it will play fine on my PC.

I am interested in a copy if you can make one cheap

Just tried it and it's region free.

Ah, good!

I have converted these recordings now
to DVD. Using a dvd-recorder in 2 hour mode. No quality-loss compared with the
original VHS tapes :-)

Roger Taylor: Cyberbarn concert (from original VHS tape) / Queen: Champions of the World (from the original VCD)
The Cross: Geneva 1990 (from VHS tape)

Brian: B.T.T.L tour South-America 1992 (from VHS tape) / VH1 1998: semi arcoustic performance (from VHS tape)
Brian: Guitar Legends Sevilla 1992 (from VHS tape)
Brian: Barcelona concert 1993 (from VHS tape)
Brian: Brixton Academy 1993 (from original VHS tape)

Queen: Rare Live / Rock in Rio (both from the original VHS tape)
Queen's Day Amsterdam '02 (from original TV recording, 66 mins incl. backstage footage and interviews)/Milton Keynes 1982 (from VHS tape)
Queen: Hammersmith 1975 (from SVCD)
Queen: Greatest karaoke hits (source: vhs tape?)
Queen: Budapest 1986 (from the original VHS tape)
Queen: Freddie Mercury Tribute 1992 (from VHS tape, the 4.5 UNCUT BBC TV broadcast!)

my following project will be converting the 1981 Argentinian
concert in Velez Sarfield stadium, about 1 hour 45 mins
in lenght. :-)

How did you transfer SVCD to DVD?
I would appreciate any uselful tips on this.

Is your Ham 75 PAL?
What's the quality like?
Maybe we can trade. Please email me.

What recorder are you using?

I'm using a Pan E100 (DVD-RAM) in conjunction with my LG 4040B DVD Writer on the PC.

I've just done the Argentina concert to DVD (from SVHS) and it came out really well.

I use the Pan to add chapters and then on the PC I import the files from the RAM disk and author with TMPGenc DVD Author to create menus and sometimes thumbnail images from the chapters.
I then burn to DVD-R.

I use MS Word to create Amaray DVD covers.

The finished article looks very professional.

I second that about seeing the full uncut FM concert.

"How did you transfer SVCD to DVD?"

Well, since you mentioned using your PC to record to dvd, you can just copy the mpg from the disc to your HD.

SVCD and DVD use the same compression. And if you put the mpg from your svcd file onto your dvd software, it'll re-encode it to dvd specs.

Peace,
Adam.

I don't know what software you use, but TMPGENC DVD author does not accept SVCD resolution, also SVCD has not the same resolution as DVD!
SVCD NTSC = 480 x 480
SVCD PAL = 480 x 576
DVD NTSC = 720 x 480
DVD PAL = 720 x 576

The solution is to alter the MPG files with a patcher programme so that the
DVD author programme thinks it gets a DVD resolution, then after making the
DVD vob files, the same patch has to be run again to set the files back to svcd resolution. Works perfectly!

TRIBUTE: it depends on the songs, some are good, some aren't! The Extreme Queen medley is great for instance.
But Innuendo is not good, mistakes in
the lyrics etc.

Anyone interested in the Tribute, my email addy is in my profile, just contact me :-)

Proton, did I not say, "And if you put the mpg from your svcd file onto your dvd software, it'll re-encode it to dvd specs"?

In other words, dropping it onto the dvd software creates all the correct settings for dvd, e.g. resolution, altered compression, etc.

Some software will do those things automatically. Some don't bother.

Peace,
Adam.

I'll third the tribute

How does a ntsc SVCD look on a large (40") TV?
