Hey people! I'm going to try to remake the Snow Producciones DVD. If something good comes out of it, you're gonna have it. But before that, I need to find the sources of the videos. Till now, I have: Canal 9 broadcast http://www.queenconcerts.com/queenzone/1239623.html REC TV Special http://www.queenconcerts.com/queenzone/1397857.html Press conference which I found in YouTube: If someone can enhance it or find a better looking source (or at least, without that fuckin' watermark), I'm open to receive that version. I'm gonna update it if I manage to recognize more sources (since I'm starting to download the Snow's DVD, it will take some time). If you can recognize some sources and send them to me, I'll be very thankful. Thanks to everyone who is willing to help. I want to make the "definitive" DVD version of the Argentina concert until some new source appears (like the The Kurgan one). PS: BTW, I'm not going to cut the announcer's comments. If it's part of the tape, it stays there, whether you like it or not. But since I'm going to divide (not cut) the video into chapters (which will be songs, as usual), I think that the people who don't like those comments gonna jump them. |

Sounds interesting. I hope you find whatever you're looking for. |

Just keep in mind - try to re-compress your sources as less times as possible. That is of crucial importance. However, if you do need to convert something, convert it to uncompressed AVI file. A full uncompressed concert file might take up to hundred gigs. An example of possible lineage - Source -> Sony Vegas - editing, conversion to DVD-compliant MPG files -> DVD Architect (choose 'no-recompression' settings) -> DVD. |

^Correct - Although I do believe Vegas Pro has the ability to do DVD stuff similar to programs like DVD Architect |

Chief Mouse: Thanks for the help! Since I use Sony Vegas, can you tell me which format is more DVD friendly? I have a salad with all those formats, NTSC and PAL. I'm not a newbie in video editing, but usually I don't deal with DVDs. |

I've never used it hence forgot about it :P I thought OP might have wanted to create menus etc, and DVD Architect is good for that. |

And usually I make up trouble for myself when I start creating some motion menus in After Effects. And proper authoring also takes ages. That's why I prefer proper H.264 codec and x264 encoder. |

I'm not a newbie in video editing, but usually I don't deal with DVDs. Firstly, you gotta check frame rate of your source(s). You can do that with a free program like MediaInfo. If the program tells you it's NTSC, go to Sony Vegas and set the appropriate settings (take a look below). About composite gamma and bits, I can't remember now for sure but some of these settings by default caused video to look much darker when rendered than it did in your editing preview screen. So maybe just change all of the settings to match mine. When you are ready to render, choose MainConcept MPEG-2 - DVD Architect NTSC (or PAL). You can then set the settings to something like I have (below). Render it as MPG file and later DVD Architect should recognise it and offer a choice to avoid re-compression (re: no re-compression setting). Notes: * also set the field order so that they match with your source. In the end uou don't want to screw up the interlacing for whatever reason. * when you edit your video in the timeline, right-click on the video stream -> Properties -> Disable resample. You do this because sometimes videos with this resample setting have a very slight motion blur sort of. While still in properties, click on Media tab and see if field order and pixel aspect are correct. There are plenty of tidbits you must know and other general things as well. Have you made a DVD before? Have you authored one? If not, it will probably take a while to understand this stuff and make everything the right way if this is your first DVD. Anyway, good luck. http://i1273.photobucket.com/albums/y418/MouseRapist/vegasdvdsettings_zps6e33e3ca.jpg" border="0" alt=" photo vegasdvdsettings_zps6e33e3ca.jpg"/> . |

Using Two-pass is also better for the end result if you have enough time. As for the project settings, when you drag a video onto an empty timeline, Vegas Pro asks you if you want the project settings to match the video settings - just click yes, and there should be no problem. |

^ Thanks Nitroboy for those tips. I already know them 'cause of dealing with a cheap mobile phone and 240p mp4 videos (which should be optimized). And about the project settings: I'm going to use various sources of various sizes and fps, so I prefer to choose the right resolution for the whole bonus part instead of using the first video settings, but thank you for your help and interest in this. And thanks to Chief Mouse for those also really helpful advices: I'll keep in mind everything you said. Now I only have to wait for the Snow DVD to finish downloading. If someone can seed it (actually it's downloading at 2.6 KB/s), it'll make the process faster. I'm going to keep my PC running until the download finishes, so seed all the time you can. |

2.6kbps is faster than the internet from Cuba. Oh, wait... |
