TV recording (1080i) by brianswig. I watched it and I didn't notice any problems, picture and sound quality are perfect. link I had to split it to 250MB parts, you have to unzip it before you can watch it. |

MERCI BEAUCOUP |

Does this version have subtitles on screen? :) -Chin |
| pittrek 23.12.2015 17:29 |
No |

No subtitle tracks but two audio tracks. Thanks for sharing, but what was the original format of the file? |

Thanks to Pittrek and brianswig for this. This is a torrent for those who need it: |

original format was .ts. - recorded directly using my Amiko Alien 2 from the UK Freesat stream. I've simply put the file in video-redo to top and tail it without re-encoding and put it in an mkv container for more compatible playback on a wider variety of machines. Ah yes, 2 audio options. Forgot about that. The first will be the audio descriptive for the blind (don't know why, but stream 1 is ALWAYS that on BBC programmes) and the 2nd stream will be the normal soundtrack. |

Thanks. Is this better than the one in Popy's thread? |

I'm still not entirely sure if either is truly interlaced though, might be Macroblock-adaptive frame-field (MBAFF) This share has ac3 and mpeg audio tracks, ac3 is normal mpeg is narration (if transmitted) |

The BBC broadcast 1080i (25), so that's what it must be. All material delivered to the BBC for HD broadcast MUST be 1920x1080 16:9 at 25 frames/sec interlaced (50 fields) - 1080i/22 Any material that is 1080p/50, must have 2 frame marker phasing for downsampling to 1080i/25. Whether there's any macroblock adapative field rates or not I have no clue! |
| Barry Durex 24.12.2015 08:26 |
I understand the broadcast is 25 fps and 1080i. It was just that some of the ''1080i'' files I compared look like they might not be interlaced. Having said that I have now had time to carefully check this file and Popy's file.They both have signs of interlaced combing, so that's all good. BTW, the additional mpeg audio stream on this one can easily be removed mkvToolNix without re-encoding. |
| pittrek 24.12.2015 09:02 |
I think if bw claims it's interlaced, you can definitely trust him :-) Merry Christmas everybody ! |

I didn't mean any offence to brians wig, my comment a few posts back was only based on an quick visual observation. |
| Ken8 24.12.2015 17:34 |
Yeah Barry, I had to re-encode it to play on my standalone player too. It must be something with the BBC stream because I've had the same thing with recent BBC rips by ELO & Muse. Macroblock-adaptive frame-field perhaps? |
| brians wig 24.12.2015 17:46 |
interesting. Plays back fine through my panasonic smart TV and through a WDTV media player. ts files are strange things and always have been! |

Thanks ken8, what was the higher bitrate you used? |
| popy 26.12.2015 13:07 |
Ken8, and what about image smothness? Is it still the same as the original? You also need to pay atention to the fields per second, frames per second thingy. That is what gets in my nerves when i'm trying to find BBC programs in the internet. If release groups only want to release 720p files, it's ok and fine by me, smaller file size, etc. But when they release 1080, they choose to re-encode to P instead of sharing the original i. And that means "goodbye smooth image". And i never really inderstood why. Example: the last series of Top Gear it was very hard to find the 1080i ts files. But before i found them, i downloaded 1080p files, sometimes with almost double the file size of the original ts ones, and it was like i was been stabed in the eyes because there was no smoothness in the studio segments like the 1080i files had. And release groups think those are good files. And people downloading them thought the same! There are other countless examples of 1080p files from BBC programs, And still i can't see why they bother to re-encode 1080i to 1080p and loosing the original image smoothness. If they are going to release 1080 files, why not release the original ones and let people decide what to do with them? |
| Ken8 26.12.2015 18:02 |
I used 10.5mbps, came out to just under 5gig. More than required but who cares! Plays fine Popy, smooth as the interlaced version. The two fields combine to give you one progressive frame, instead of 50 fields per second you now get 25 progressive frames per second |
| Barry Durex 26.12.2015 19:43 |
Thanks ken8, I'll give that a try. |
| Double-U 27.12.2015 14:20 |
Thank you very much! That's a nice hour of watching new interview sections and behind the scenes material. And at least it's typical that a few months ago I read in the book, that you can find in the studio collection box, that all Top Of The Pops footage of Now I'm Here was destroyed by the BBC, just to see half of the performance today in this docmentary labeled as recently discovered. Surprise surprise! regards, W. |

Thx! Loved it! |
| BETA215 28.12.2015 14:55 |
Hmm... it looks like you finally got convinced of using MKV instead of those old-fashioned AVIs or VOBs. I like it :) |
| Barry Durex 28.12.2015 16:08 |
Vob container can't be used for an HD video. |

I made a little progress whilst messing around with the mkv. It might be useful for those who want to play this on a stand alone blu-ray player and TV. I used format factory to de-interlace the mkv with a video bitrate of 9000 I then used tsMuxerGUI to create a blu-ray folder with the newly created 1080p (3.61GB) mkv (tsMuxerGUI doeswork properly if you try to use the original ''interlaced'' MKV file)I then burnt the two resulting BDMV and CERTIFICATE folders to a DVD5 using nero UDF mode. The disc plays nicely on my blu-ray player with chapters every 5 minutes.It also navigates << and >> up to 100X without errors. |
