So you will end up with the same if you want to convert it to DVD.

It all depends. The YV copy is from a VHS and one which was obviouslly not new - thats all! A transfer from a new VHS may not necessarily have the flicker etc of an older one.
Would the best course of action be to transfer it to DVD as soon as I get it? I can rig up the VCR to the recordable DVD player and tape it in HQ. I don't know how much a prefessional transfer would cost?

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.[/QUOTE]
You do of course realize that the picture quality of the WWRY dvd is superior to anything QP has released, right?

Don't be so condecending. There is a distinct difference. WWRY was originally shot on film.

My encoding came from an original miracle.nl tape that was lent to me by frank39. That was about 4 years ago and I am not sure they have better copies now.
They were all put on film - thats how cameras work :s
Right I understand I have somehow p1ssed alot of people off by my continuous posts on this topic. It is simply that since the 1990s I have had various incarnations of this concert (easily 5). I will not post again on it until I get the VHS. My ultimate aim was to somehow convert to DVD and upload it to rapidshare.

Some on film, most on tape!

You definitely did not annoy me, Indy77. I understand your ambition to get the best possible quality of EC 1977. I share this ambition.
I got the Miracle Express VHS of the Earl's Court concert (yes this topic again). The quality is reasonably good (3rd generation) but the picture is extremely grainy. I recorded it to DVD (on 2 discs) but it didn't really solve the grain issue. The source is obviously from an old battered video tape from the 1980s. Would taken it to a professional studio help?
