The DVD is a compilation with best A/V quality from youtube, its sound very good. But this audio has some tracks (3 or 4) with more audio quality than the dvd.
Hi, Last year i shared a Q+AL gig from Las Vegas in MP3, and everybody says : "it's not flac" and nobody says thank you or says something....so i uploaded this gig in flac.
But it's still lossy. You've just unnecessarily made the files 5 times the size. Your heart is in the right place, but you need a bit of schooling. Here:
A lot of quality is lost when you upload something to youtube or convert it to mp3. You can't magically bring it back. Once it's gone, it's gone. It would be like trying to separate coffee from water. If you want water, you need to go to the original source - the tap. If you add a bunch of water to coffee, it's still coffee.
The purpose of FLAC is to take an uncompressed WAV file and make it about half the size, just to make it easier for sending over these internets. No quality has been lost in the chain.
So, the best solution is to have the original source pre-youtube, rip that audio from the video to WAV, and then convert to FLAC.

Thank for your time!!
Yes i know this!! but i thought that in flac the quality was better than in mp3 from a youtube source.
did you understand what i wanted to do? i thought that it will be better, and in mp3 the quality will be less than youtube.

I understand the intention here. But for some of us bootleg collectors this muddles the collecting pool, and it's kind of frustrating to be honest when something is misleadingly passed off as FLAC at first glance until you read what the audio source is.

Your intentions are good, and that's a very big first step. So, to clarify, i don't think anyone is against mp3 here. As a rule of thumb on this site:
- If you go to a concert and you record that concert in mp3, there's no need for you to convert it to FLAC or any other format. We still appreciate that you took the time to record it, and until a better source comes up, your source will be the one to listen to.
We live in the digital era, and so we ALL have to adapt to it.
The problem starts when people take a lossy (some audio information is lost) file and convert it to a Lossless (the audio information is all there) file, thinking that now the file is Lossless. It doesn't happen this way. Think of it this way:
You can take a Lossless (Flac or similar) file and convert it to a mp3 320Kb/s for example. The mp3 file is still lossy, because in the process some audio information was lost. If you take that mp3 320Kb/s and convert it to mp3 120Kb/s you are still continuing to lose information and the quality of the file keeps detiorating.
Of course there are lossy files that have great quality, but once the information is lost, it is lost. You can't take the mp3 120Kb/s and convert it to FLAC again and make it sound like the original Lossless Flac file (try to do this experience yourself). This is a one way road. You can take information, but you cannot put the information back.
The problem starts when many people start to share FLAC files converted from Lossy files, and therefore poluting the pool. So, share as many mp3 as you like, there's not a rule on this site that prevents you from doing it, but don't convert it to any other format.
The only thing we need on everybody's share is a lineage, and people can decide if they want to download it or not.
I like mp3 and i use it a lot on my mp3 player. For space purposes i only listen to interviews in mp3, but i keep all my music in FLAC - just my preference, nothing more.
As i said before, thanks for sharing this concert. And i hope you understand now where some people here are coming from, and don't feel intimidating by sharing mp3 here. Just put a lineage on your file and it's all good.
I am going to say that I am doing what I can with this gig, the audio I have has less cuts, example between Now I'm Here and Stone Cold Crazy, mine does not have that, but I am also using some of my own source I recorded which has not been uploaded anywhere, the big question is IF I get this done, starting off it's more a personal project than anything, meant for me and a friend, but I figure if it goes over good, I might put it up here. Though it won't really be very timely of an upload, having a lot going on right now.
