Live at the Budokan, Tokyo, April 25th 1979 ---------------- I got an idea to tinker a bit with the Tokyo gig. This is my source link There are 2 versions. One is the full DVD. The other is a compressed H.264 MKV encode with only 1 audio stream. It is 1,06 GB which is almost 3 times smaller size than the whole DVD. And quality loss is very minimal (if any). It's exactly the same, only differences are that it is progressive unlike DVD and has slight artificial grain added, partly because I like it that way and partly because it would tone down compression artifacts if there are any. Notice that there's no added grain on the DVD. So you can download either this version or that version, that's up to you. ---------------- Features: * Full Japanese TV broadcast enhanced (only video) * Re-created song titles and credit texts (see here: link * Motion menus * Pittrek's audio merge as secondary audio stream * Tokyo missing footage compilation by Pittrek DVD specs: Format: DVD 5 Screen aspect ratio: 4:3 Audio: 2 PCM Stereo streams Running time: 32 minutes approx. File size: 3 GB Lineage: For DVD - Pro master > ? > Japanese TV broadcast > VHS > DVD > Uncompressed AVI > DVD For MKV encode - Pro master > ? > Japanese TV broadcast > VHS > DVD > Uncompressed AVI > DVD > H.264 MKV Correct me if there are any mistakes before the AVI step ^ Track list: 01 Intro 02 We Will Rock You (fast) 03 Let Me Entertain You 04 Killer Queen 05 Bicycle Race 06 I'm In Love With My Car 07 Teo Torriate 08 Keep Yourself Alive 09 Don't Stop Me Now 10 Bohemian Rhapsody 11 We Will Rock You 12 We Are The Champions Video specs: Duration: 32mn 21s Bit rate mode: VBR (variable) Bit rate: 6 467 Kbps (I would have encoded it higher than that if I didn't need to include 2 PCM audio streams. But I think it's more or less OK with this bitrate, don't panic :-) ) Maximum bit rate: 6 800 Kbps Resolution, aspect ratio, FPS: NTSC - 720x480, 4:3, 29.970 fps Scan type, scan order: interlaced, top field first Screenshot comparison: The first is "Before", 2nd is "After". The MKV version looks exactly the same as the DVD of mine, but with 3% grain which I explained above. link alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us"/> link alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us"/> link alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us"/> link alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us"/> link alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us"/> link alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us"/> You might notice that my version is 2 % "blurrier". That is because I tried to attempt to reduce the black outlines a bit. It overall makes it look bit softer, but cleaner and nicer, in my opinion. These are resized. In full resolution they are available on Skydrive link Artwork: I'm no designer so please experts excuse me :-) They are available in full resolution on Skydrive link Notes: Please don't re-compress or convert this. Otherwise this enhance is pointless. Don't sell or trade this. It's made for fans and specifically for QueenZone.com. It's competely free. If anyone is willing to create a torrent, feel free. I would do it myself, but my ports won't forward therefore I can't seed, therefore there's no use in creating a torrent. Special thanks to Pittrek for various advices, help and providing the missing Tokyo footage. Thanks to YourValentine for sharing the original source. Please excuse me for writing so long, but I think this was all really important :-) DOWNLOAD: link There is also a torrent made by Bokkepoot. Scroll down the page for it. You can also watch this on Youtube here link Please notice that the audio in Youtube version is slightly out of sync. It's not that way on the DVD. Cheers! :-) |

Thanks for all the effort you've put into this mate. Looking forward to giving it a bash. Downloading now. |
Marknow 23.07.2013 13:37 |
Are the screen shots you posted above from the source DVD and the new DVD you have made? Or are they your DVD and your MKV? The colour correction looks nice in the samples if it is old v new DVD. Thank you. :) |
bokkepoot 23.07.2013 13:59 |
Sounds and looks good to me what you have done with these recordings !! Thanks for sharing your project with us. Can't wait to watch the DVD. |
moonie 23.07.2013 14:03 |
The download keeps failing for me. Anyone else having problems? |

But I can assure it looks just the same as the "new" DVD, but with like 3% grain added. |

I really don't want to split this into 200 MB Rar chunks and upload on Embedupload or somewhere because it's very slow for me, for some reason. I've found out that Mega has the fastest upload speed. Any suggestions? |
moonie 23.07.2013 14:10 |
Don't worry mate. Hopefully It's just me.. I'm sure someone will create a torrent at some point. Cheers. |

Any suggestions? After registering there I have noticed the fast downloadspeed for all the files. The sizelimit is 7 GB (an account can have 7 GB in it). I'm choosing normally for 1fichier.com because I have there a lifetime account (=until 2028; I hope that my life will not end that year ;) ). Mega has fast upload and download speed and you can put in there files up to 50 GB. When people use a downloadmanager, they can download all the files relative easy. |

I am downloading right now. I will probably watch it tomorrow. But what I've seen until now, seems a very nice upgrade. |

Many thanks for this Chief Mouse. Can you advise if the mkv version has single or dual audio streams and, if single, which one? Thanks again, downloading and can't wait to watch |

Thanks again, downloading and can't wait to watchIt has only 1 stream - the original, not Pittrek's merge. I think I already mentioned that. If not, I'm sorry. It's sort of "fast grab and go" version only to watch on PC. DVD is recommended :) The DVD also includes extra such as the missing Tokyo footage. |
moonie 23.07.2013 16:20 |
I managed to grab the mkv to watch while I'm waiting for the dvd torrent to finish. I'm really enjoying this.. It's been a few years since I last watched it. I'd forgotten how good it was, even though Freddie's obviously suffering a bit. The band seem to know this & raise there game.. Even John's singing backing vocals. Good job his microphone is probably switched off...And from memory, this does indeed seem to be a decent upgrade, even this mkv version. Looking forward to watching the dvd with Pittrek's audio. Cheers again to Chief Mouse and bokkepoot. |

Well I can't wait till my internet connection gets fixed and I can watch this :-) |
Chief Mouse 24.07.2013 01:33 |
Hopefully you use good PC DVD players. As far as I've experimented the Windows Media Player is pretty bad, in a way that when it deinterlaces it looks sort of like painting, It looks more sort of smeared than it actually is and loses detail. VLC is pretty fine, but it often displays buttons in wrong colours. Looks like as if WMP adds some more automatic denoise and sharpens. I've noticed that only with interlaced sources. I'd suggest this way for PC - 1. Burn the DVD VIDEO_TS folder into ISO image with ImgBurn. 2. Then mount it on a virtual drive, for example Daemon Tools. 3. Watch with Cyberlink PowerDVD. |
rhapsody8 24.07.2013 03:16 |
Can't wait to watch it. Thanks a lot for your effort Chief Mouse and many thanks bokkepoot for the torrent file. Great upgrade I think... |

Couldn't agree more with what you said, vlc is the best standalone media player for PC I think, but not perfect. Steps 1-3 above are the very best option for watching DVD on your PC without burning a DVD disk, it's the method I always use and I highly recommend it. If you don't know how to mount a DVD .iso with Daemon tools check out youtube. |

Install Combined Community Codec Pack (freeware), it features Media Playe Classic once you installed that one, just go to the folder where you have the DVD files and open "VIDEO_TS.IFO"; that opens automatically the root menu, that's all ;) |

I have just watched it and a few things ... Things which I liked - the colour correction - partial noise reduction - recreated japanese texts - the disc menu :-) - 2 audio tracks (did you do something to "my" mix? It sounds better than the original TV mix, which is surprising :-) ) - The Show Must Go On video - great editing man ! Things which I didn't like - removing the texts - in some places it works great, but in some parts it's a blurry mess - the "alternate footage" has pretty bad quality, I wonder who gave you it in such a bad shape :-) Unfortunately I have only NOW noticed that Sheer Heart Attack has audio from one night only, but the video features parts from probably 3 nights :-( I AM VERY SORRY about that man! Overall impression - great work and thanks for the share ! |

Overall impression - great work and thanks for the share !No, I didn't do anything to the audios. At least not on purpose. The original I think I stretched for like 1 second longer or something like that, to sync better. Vegas automatically makes it louder for some reason when stretching. So I matched up the loudness of your audio as well. That's pretty much all I did to them. I didn't stretch yours. I just aligned it to original by tracks. I removed them only for that reason that I couldn't be bothered to re-create all those Japanese subs or credit texts whatever they were (apart from song titles. I was already fed up creating those, lol). And there probably are better and more clever ways to remove such stuff, but I haven't got further than just making a red blob in paint and blurring it out with DeLogo. I'd need to learn to use that filter better. Thanks. Hopefully fans find it useful :-) |
DepeX 26.07.2013 01:50 |

Dunno. Something is wrong with the rendering settings. |

Bumping this good old thread for mega links, if anybody want it: Download from both links, then put the files together in one folder https://mega.co.nz/#F!ilklAQQK!Pt_oA2J9AF93WGwccugD7w https://mega.co.nz/#F!KxkTTRxQ!f044wjoMlBFI33u-PuSNkw Also, tip for playing it like a real DVD on your PC, without having to burn/convert anything: open VIDEO_TS.IFO by Media Classic Player (or by other players perhaps), it leads you directly to the main interactive Menu ^^ There is no artwork covers in my links, you can download them in the OneDrive link in the first page. Thank you Chief for the tremendous work. This is one DVD people should definitely download. |
