- What I wanted to do?
Oh well, originally I wanted to make a "high-tech" DVD out of that
low-quality source, with:
a) original file as main video,
b) audience videos as kind-of multi camera option,
c) 3 audio streams (original video audio, audio remastered and
audience tape),
d) adding 2 other tour bootlegs, as DVD-A material,
e) putting the ORIGINAL Walls video on it (long version from the
"She's The One DVD")
- What was done?
Unfortunately, the source file I worked with had 3 big errors and some
smaller errors, which made it very hard for me to encode the DVD. At
first I ripped the WMV to MPEG to have something to work with, but the
converting stopped 3 times (around 40, 54 and 59 minutes) and I had to
start from the point it has stopped, which made 3 breaks from 3-11
seconds, where I added a "test picture", but the audio goes on. I
accidentally converter the last file too high, which made it not
possible for me to add the extras, because that would reduce the
quality already low-bitrate material....and reconverting was simple a
pain in the ass, that's why I couldn't do it again. I also found out
then that I couldn't do multi-audio options, that why I made a matrix
out of both recordings (lossy soundboard 70% and lossless audience
30%) which sounds pretty good. There are three breaks 2 seconds breaks
on the video file on "You Don't Know How It Feels" where you can only
the the audience tape. I also added small names on the tracks at the
beginning of each tracks, but somehow my TV cuts that off.
This DVD was actually the best that you could've made out of the file
I had, but I am still not satisfied with it, but the problem it that
making the DVD took more than two days. So if I may have some time
(and maybe a better source file) than I may post a "Bonnaroo Festvial
Rev. 1" DVD. But anyways, the DVD is fun to watch and for most
Fleetwood Mac fans the really first time (and maybe the last time)
that they are seeing Stevie and Tom on a real concert video (without
the President in the audience), so please purists don't don't blame me
for mixing lossy with lossless stuff and spreading DVDs created out of
low quality files, post something better if you have and I am going to
delete this forever and break my DVD.
