We all know this show has only been released on DVD (and not Blu Ray)but has it ever been shown on TV in HD? Can anyone confirm whether it was even recorded in HD?
Luke
As Someone has already stated, it was shown on SkyArtsHD a few times, but sadly this is an encrypted channel and I've never found anyone who bothered to cap.
I emailed Brian about the lack of BD release at the time and his response was that "he" didn't think the BD format was taking off.
I politely replied and told him that BD had taken off quicker than DVD did, which was fact at the time!
I can only assume that sales of Montreal were poor and so they never bothered with Ukraine especially as it's not "Queen" and therefore expected to be much less of an attraction to casual buyers and Paul Rodgers haters!
Hopefully the DOOL documentary has sold sufficiently well enough for future BDs to be considered...
Well that's great I now have the 60min version on my hard drive.
Next question: Chile 2008 ...... was that recorded / broadcast in HD? :-)
Also what about Return of the Champions TV broadcasts? Any HD copies floating around?

Why?
If you intend to reduce the file size, just bear in mind that it's currently interlaced and should stay as such otherwise you are effectively degrading the image.
That's as bad as converting a lossless stereo recording to mono mp3 in my book.

Use tsmuxer to convert to an m2ts file and try that.
It stutted constantly on mine before I did that.
It's just a typical ts file header problem.
If it still doesn't work, download Gomplayer and update your ffdshow filters: all freely available on the net...
