Hello, Queenzoners!
I've found the "Queen in Buenos Aires 1981" show WITHOUT logo in my video collection. I'm curious, whether there is a better quality version in the circulation?
Attached is the screenshot of my copy.
The only logo free version of the complete broadcast I know of is this one, so I guess it would be a good comparison.
Is your copy the full 118 minute broadcast?
If you're willing and able to share it, that would be great.
We'll never truly know if it's better until we can compare it.
How would you capture it? into PC and then encode or straight to a DVD recorder?
do you mean no logo as in just no QTV logo? Cuz the 9 and QUEEN are still there and show up even sooner than on Kurgan's copy. The picture quality is also significantly worse.
The ''9'' and 'QUEEN'' are shown intermittently throughout the complete original canal 9 broadcast.
The ''no logo'' refers to the added QTV information on screen.
TTD version is a direct copy from QTV cable.
It looks like antiden's copy may be a generation or so more down the line.
I do find it interesting that they show up at different times. the 9 and QUEEN show up pretty soon on antiden's share but on Kurgan's video it doesn't show up til 1:40 This could still be worth sharing because maybe it could be used to splice into the better copy and reduce the amount of time the 9 and QUEEN are visible.

Not necessarily. You can use small bits and pieces to mask out watermarks or logos.
Chief Mouse has done something like this on Michael Jackson videos (albeit, those weren't 1½ hour long concert videos).
If Antiden's version (not talking only about the snippet, maybe it happens in other parts of the video) or other versions shows the 9 and QUEEN logos in different times, we could make a mix with all the versions: Rare Live clips, Kurgan copy snippets, REC (TV program) stream, and Antiden version.
I see where you're coming from, but I think you will find that antiden's copy is in fact from the same (original) source as the one at TTD.
The only difference probably being is that it's an inferior copy (back in the day of trading actual tapes this was the drawback).
Both versions probably come from the same full canal 9 broadcast shown on QTV.
Therefore the on screen 9 and QUEEN should appear in exactly the same places.
Possible, sorry about this. I wanted to say that YouTube compressed the thing I uploaded in second post, so I uploaded raw file. It's file which wasn't compressed by YouTube. BTW it's interesting to watch non-QTV version, thanks for uploading.
Lagarith compression for AVI is indeed lossless. You can use it to preserve the footage.
I'm not saying that this was processed with Lagarith, but you could use it.

It would be like sharing a WAV file from an MP3 source. MPEG2 encoding isn't lossless, so converting it to lossless would be a waste. But I digress :)

Extremely interesting, almost paranormal, considering the two copies are from the same source.
