I'm sure some of you guys remember earlier this year when John S Stuart mentioned he was attempting to put together a DVD of rare Queen videos.
Well, now that I've got a job, I'm thinking of taking over this project and going around to collect as many videos as possible, starting in January.
I was wondering, both John and you other guys, what kind of videos WOULD you guys like to see included on such a DVD set? Or what could you contribute?
The reason I say January is because hopefully by then, I will have saved up enough money to get enough new parts for my computer (RAM chips, video capture card, 40/80 GB hard drive, multi-system VCR for both NTSC and PAL tapes), and start paying people to send out the tapes for me to transfer and use on the DVD's. (*Also, if anyone would like to help me out with those 4 things I need, whether with monetary donations or actual parts donations, I would really appreciate it, as it would help me out to get this started as soon as possible!)
And I would also like to know how many of us Queenzoners around the world have a DVD-R burner, and even then how many of us can make DVD's for people to share with for free, because the point of the project was to distribute the DVD videos with as many Queen collectors/fans as possible, while doing it for free at the same time.
Anyone who would like to help, please write here or e-mail me at [email protected]
Please and thanks!

Yep.. I have a DVD burner and would be willng to help distribute / burn them.
Ive been involved in a few Pink Floyd trees and vines in the past. Ive been converting a lot of my Queen stuff to DVD recently, I wouldnt bother spending out all that on capture cards etc tho, its not necessary, you can get a DVD recorder for less than 200 quid now and you can fit 3 hours of video at seemingly lossless quality and none of that messing about converting files, authoring etc, all you have to do is hit record! Heres what Ive managed to convert so far, I probably have around another 4 discs worth if its any help...

It think you idea is great. But I don't have a dvd-burner... But somday, when I't ready, could I download it from this side or and just watched it in my computer?

No worries about the delayed response. The items I have are already on DVD which Im happy to provide for your weed, if you would like to make any changes all you would need to do is rip them with say ''smartripper'' for example and put together the discs you have in mind for your tree. I do have a lot of other Queen footage too, mostly 80s stuff on first generation tapes, to give you an idea.... my first ever video tape that I ever started recording on has Hammer To Fall shown on Top Of The Pops in 1984 (actually the second track on the tape!), admittedly that was just the promo video but it should give you an idea of what I have from that era onwards in flawless first gen quality, all of which Im happy to contribute to the tree, the only problem is that I have over 400 video tapes of music videos recorded from that period so time would be a factor in my digging out all the Queen stuff but it is not out of the question and is doable, you can mail me at [email protected] if you have any questions or anything specific that you are after from this period.

The idea of a tree/vine/weed is really to eliminate the many problems caused by downloads and try to bring the purist quality possible to the masses. Given that Christmas stands between now and the initial weed date, a DVD burner could be something worth putting on your Xmas list! They are available now for less than 30 quid so theres no harm in asking. From my own personal experience of distributing in this nature what happens is... Someone has a disc/s that they wish to distribute amongst the community, they then make a master copy of this disc which they send out to the first person in the (I'll choose the vine option for the sake of this explaination) VINE which the first person to receive makes a copy of for themselves and then sends on the master copy to the next person in the list, very simple, very straightforward and if we all work together we can have every piece of Queen footage thats worth having in no time and at almost no cost! I hope that helps, as Ive said in the previous post, if you have any questions please direct them to [email protected] and I will do my best to help you.
Cheers

Hello all,I've got a very good earls court on dvd and an excellent tokyo 79 one.I'm going to buy a dvd recorder soon,so i'm quite happy to share these.Shame Tokyo's only 33mins though.I am after a good quality Hyde Park and I'll be a happy camper.This is my first time by the way(ooeer!)
Yeah, I've a dvd burner, and I'd be keen to help out people in New Zealand/Australia.

Well, actually like I said earlier, I'm looking for both tapes (first-gen or second-gen if possible) and DVD sourced video material - I'm not picky.
I think I will hold off on this project until July in terms of beginning the video transfers and edits, because by then I should have a new PC, depending how much I can save up between now and then.
For that, I plan to get a PC with the best video capture card possible, and for that I am going to get a multi-system VCR from a store in West Edmonton Mall, which can play both PAL and NTSC tapes, as well as variations of PAL.
*THEN* I will start asking people to send me tapes.
I estimate that, if I should get maybe 15-30 tapes, it will take me a few months to get all the tapes viewed, transferred, and edited or spliced. Then I will make the final DVD masters, in both NTSC and PAL format versions.
OR! If someone were to locate for me a stand-alone DVD-Recorder that can input both PAL and NTSC signals, while still able to be used in North America (eg. with NTSC TV's, and American/Canadian power supply outlets, etc.), that would be awesome! (And not to mention a time-saver as well!)

I will certainly get back to you once I've come up with a list of the rare Queen videos that I know of that I want to try and have imported into Canada for usage on my end!
Thanks!
Why wait til July? :( Stu, by himself has got enough material to start a tree. Excellent material by the look of it. Of course, the more the merrier.
I'm very, very interested in any case. I also have a dvd burner and I'm in Australia.

I have a DVD burner and can help people in North America. but, I don't have a lot of rare DVDs so I would need someone to send me DVDs to burn either by email or snail mail so I can send them to other people.
