It seems he is talking about some VCD format. And i have no clue what he means by the 4th version. as you said, he doesn't write much.[/QUOTE]

4th Generation?[/QUOTE]

could be, yes
No - not 4th generation. It's 4th version Earls Court he get: 1. 2x vcd, 2. 4 x svcd, 3. dvd with stills, 4. this one dvd ;)
I want it all
I think Erik might be right. I doubt that a 4th generation copy would look that good. I'm not saying it can't but I really doubt it.
My God... Why so impressed by 352 x 280 resolution still jpegs?????

They're just glorified thumbnails!

Look's like the standard stuff to me as Roy says.
This is the same as my copy. It's pretty good, but it's still a few gens from the master.

Sir GH

Does this version look like it was shot on video (i.e. like Houston, Kampuchea etc.)? I do like the YV version but I am disappointed by the way the show looks like it was shot on film as a result of the encoding process.

Kevo

I am aware that thumbnails glorify the image quality. My interest is that the show was recorded from a PAL 2nd/3rd generation video tape.
I reckon the quality of that screenshots are not better than the average versions that are around..
BTW, does anybody here is close enough to Marijan and Rinus to ask them for a digital transfer of their Earls Court master tape? =)
They have a website however it seems a while since it was updated.

All I can tell you is it's the same version as the YV encoding. This one is a generation or two better. I actually don't mind the "film-ish" look.

Are you sure they have the master?

hmmm I suppose now that we know how the dvd cover looks, we can look for the boot on ebay. I'll try to buy it and upload it for everyone(provided I can get it for a good price :/) :)
[QUOTE]This concert was originally recorded to be released as Queen's first live video, but due to some technical problems with Freddie's microphone it was never released.[/QUOTE]

I don't understand this common belief. This concert was shot in 1977, roughly 5 years before VHS started to take (Beta vs VHS) off. I know that VCRs were about in the late 70s but they were unaffordable to most people. (I have a taped copy of The Multi-coloured Swapshop from 1979 - groovy stuff)
Could you explain to me what you mean by

"I do like the YV version but I am disappointed by the way the show looks like it was shot on film as a result of the encoding process." ?

It's a serious question, I really want to know.
I do not want any google ads here.
The quality is very good and is the best I have seen so far. All I mean is that I love the concert and appreciate the footage but I don't understand why the picture when played on a TV looks like the concert was converted from video to film (We Will Rock You look). Maybe it's my DVD player. I certainly hope I didn't offend anyone.
