Yes, I read that on this board and found it to be silly. I don't film much these days, work, marriage, and just plain getting older, has zapped quite a bit of my desire to stealth videotape shows. I videotaped my 1st show in 1987 and did hundreds after that on a regular basis up until 2003. I don't have a master video list online anymore and I rarely trade these days. This "American who doesn't know how to record a show" has lost count how many times over the years people have told me that "x" video I filmed is the best video of "y" tour, which is always nice to hear. :)
In 2004, I was the primary filmer (center camera angle) of what became the 3 camera angles mix of Rush : Radio City Music Hall 8/18/04, and was downloaded a quadruple number of times from dimeadozen.org, along with tons of comments from people saying it was the best Rush audience shot video ever, etc.
man, this is awesome! This is honestly the best amateur-shot concert I've ever seen! Could you please...PLEASE share this video with us?

If you decide to put up a download of a couple songs for us that would be wonderful :)[/QUOTE]

I just made a NTSC region 1 DVD-R of Fat Bottomed Girls, Take Love, and Dragon Attack, for you guys to download. It's from the Hi-Def master videotapes down converted to standard def, onto a Panasonic stand alone DVD recorder hard drive, in highest quality 1 hour video mode, with LPCM 48kHz 16bit 2 channel stereo audio.
The DVD-R is just under 1GB in size and is 15 minutes long.
I'll upload it here as soon as I get it figured out, i've never uploaded to this site before.
and we all cheer together "THANK YOU!" :D
[QUOTE][QUOTENAME]coops wrote: [/QUOTENAME]What great shots. Most of us would give a limb to have the video. Pity you cannot burn it to dvd without losing most of the clarity. HD dvd burners are coming soon though, so keep that tape safe and I see Ebay in your future.[/QUOTE]

Viewed on my Sony 36" Hi-Def TV, yes, you can see quality loss going from Hi-Def to standard def but, it's not as much as you'd think, definitely not "most" of the clarity. I've filmed on many cameras and formats since the 80s, starting with 8mm, then Hi-8, then Digital8, and now Hi-Def, and since the source tape is so good originating with Hi-Def, the DVD-Rs I make when down converted to standard def, look better than any video that was filmed in standard def to begin with.
As for ebay in my future, ebay is my past. I did that for awhile and there was a lot of headache. There are a lot of non-taper resellers who bid on your videos just so they can sell it, and what's worse is that they're so impatient. They'd want the video overnighted "for a birthday present" (I read that in e-mails so many times that I lost count). Some of them would list their own auction, with the stills I originally put up, along with a lower price to attract more people, right after bidding on it, before they even had it. It was real cut throat stuff, based on the better a video looks, the more they'd want it from me. It just got to be such a pain that I stopped a few years ago. That is my biggest issue with this stuff - i'd be fine letting all the fans who want it for free download have it, but I know that within days, there will be a few sellers on ebay. Additionally, i'm not aware of ANY Hi-def audience shot sourced video for any band even existing yet on the internet so, that makes for an "exciting selling point". It's a shame because i'm sure 99% of fans would just watch it for their own enjoyment, but all I have to see is 1 person on ebay making hundreds of $$$, and my blood will boil. In my opinion, those people should go buy their own $2,000 Hi-Def video camera, and film the show on their own. Let them put the $$$ and effort into doing it. As I mentioned earlier in this thread, stealth videotaping shows isn't exactly stress free. One of the e-mails I received tonight from someone on this board says - "ps. beware of another 'trader' from the Netherlands, XXXXXXXXXX (name removed). He usually trades rare footage and then sells it..." That's exactly the kind of grief I don't need.

I appreciate the thought, and you of course mean well but, i'm afraid it wouldn't matter in the end. Even if I put a watermark, or something to that effect into a portion of the picture, resellers on ebay and elsewhere would still sell it. They would just "forget" to mention it.
Although I find it a damn shame that I can't see this (full) video, I totally understand your point.
But from what I can see, you did an amazing job, I'm very jealous ;) , but you can be very proud of yourself! :)

Looking forward to the 15-min footage :D
Hi NY fan. To share the DVD on Queenzone you need a programme called maketorrent and a BitTorrent client. I recommend ABC. Both are free on the net.

Create a torrent file with maketorrent, it's easy and self explaining. Make sure you enter the Queenzone tracker as the chosen tracker

http://queenzone.no-ip.com:6969/announce

Store the torrent file in the same folder as the DVD files you want to share.

Now upload the torrent file to the Queenzone tracker via this upload link

http://queenzone.no-ip.com:6969/upload.html

Now load the torrent file from your hard drive into the ABC client and start seeding.

If you have a problem, contact me. Thank you very much for sharing, we are all dying to see and hear the new material in good quality (no offense, Ms Fahrenheit)

Btw, your Brian May in New Haven 1993 is the best audience video I ever saw, we already owe you for sharing this one for free.
I do not want any google ads here.

The fact that you've made the effort to put something together, which you are willing to share, is great. Many wouldn't do that.
I hope your generosity is appreciated by the many inevitable downloaders.
Very impressive you have one nice camera there, great job

[QUOTE][QUOTENAME]queenfanNY wrote: [/QUOTENAME]I'm leary of posting the entire video for download because I know some people will sell it on ebay and other places. I didn't pay $2,000 for a Sony hi-def video camera, so that whoever can profit from what I filmed, particularly for a video like this which is so above the norm of a typical lower quality audience shot vid.[/QUOTE]

So why don't you sell it yourself on eBay? Thanx for sharing Take Love and Dragon Attack!

It's absolutely amazing queenfanNY. Did you use a tripod?
Yeah, sell it yourself on ebay on "buy it now" for $20 or so for a 2 disc set.
I'm sure if you put loads on you'd sell a lot.
Just don't send the DVDs out for a week or two to maximise sales and reduce the chance of someone else selling it while you're still selling it.

Even a CD copy of the entire show would be appreciated by all the fans if you decided not to release the video....

Thanks,
David
WOW! This looks COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!
It all has been said before, but I would love to have a copy of this show. But I understand your reasons why you don't want to share it in complete form.
Still, if it is possible to get a copy somehow it would be great.
One problem that I have at this moment with all DVD-video's shared here, is that I don't have a DVD-burner, so I can't burn them and see them, and have to stick with MPG/AVI/etc at the moment. Still, would love to see it.
If you even consider a share or sell, please count me in.

grtz
