Yeah, and it's brilliantly intelligent people like you who are helping the lossy files circulate, because you don't know the difference between good and bad quality.

This is very true. But still, this version should be taken down, and shared as the 2-SVCD set it originally was. Passing this off as a DVD is like painting a silver necklace gold, and saying it's a gold necklace.

First, please learn to speak English. I had to read that one word at a time to confirm that it was actually some form of English. Second, if we're going to improve the quality standards at this forum (and the reputation of Queen collectors in the wider collecting world), then we need people like 928 to speak up. I'm sure he's a very nice person. He has just established himself here as being the litmus test for what is lossless and what is not. Thanks for once again being the voice of reason, even if you're still the voice that few of us want to hear. Keep it up, man!

Indeed.

Right listen up guys The same thing happened with your education of lossless audio. You slammed me ,& others for shitting on your mp3s this way.....you didnt see it. I/we were up front the same way with that and in time you all came around and saw the benefit of flac,shn and lossless & now this board has never seen so much lossless audio since the time of the dinosaurs...Yes?...true isn't it? You learned how to keep the integrity of the file,how to rip losslessly,how to convert to a lossless format.. so that in years to come "that show" would not dissapear into the abyss of obliterated quality how so many have already done. No-one would upload or share anything because they were afraid that some QZ member would lossy it up and pollute the trading circles with it.Again true yes? These were mpegs..they should of stayed mpegs. You know it! So don't bash the person that says the truth and if you take offence for me being direct ,to the point and not pussying about when i say it................gets some balls,it's not me who needs to grow up. You didn't listen if i/we was all polite about it on the audio front & if you can't read up about it yourselves 1st,it seems we have to do it the hard way for the video as well. I have no problem with sharing of formats ...as long as they were what they were originally and that there are no better known versions freely available. THIS ..has gone through another stage of lossy & i wonder how long it will take before someone rips this "DVD" to VCD and shares that. Then that will be made into a "DVD". Eventually you will see just blurs THEN you all fooking whinge that there are no good versions about....i wonder why!! See the cycle yet PS:...manuel Pratt isn't a swear word..its sort of what one of your friends would call you when you were not being clever.Would you take offence at that? Trust me...i know a few swear words...lol

Manuel Benes wrote: First of all thanks for your nice words. you make me feel really welcome here. heard a lot of rumours about queenzone and the always nice people here yelling and swearing to each other all the time. but after some years now and some very funny, sometimes disturbing post i saw here this proves again that the rumours are more than true. So, i'm no expert on making a dvd. And i really appreciate your comments about my work on the original files. I know now that i did it wrong. All i wanted to do is that the files can be watched by everyone with a dvd-player. I never posted a torrent here before. But i downloaded a lot in the last years. I never converted flac-files into mp3. I always keep my torrents online as long as my bandwith allows it. i also made some covers for everyone to use. and now i wanted to post something new here. And if to bluster is all you can understand here - stick your pratt where the sun don't shine!

Sir GH<br><h6>ah yeah</h6> wrote: But if there was a sticky in the announce forum explaining the differences between lossy and lossless audio and video, with pros and cons of each, then people could decide from the beginning which is the correct way. It seems that most people aren't aware of these things when they first come here, so I think that would be a great starting point. After a while, we wouldn't even need to ban lossy recordings, because the majority of people would find it unacceptable.

Manuel Benes wrote: OK. Let's forget about the swearing and yelling-thing for a while. I said it before and i will say it again - thanks for the critics - they are really welcome!! I will not convert any mpeg-files to DVD in the future again. I learned that now! Thanks for the tips - i really mean it! But i have one "technical" question now for all you experts out there. I have a Hardware-DVD-Recorder where i can record my old VHS-Tapes on DVD. Always heard about "saving" the Tape to DVD, not "convert" it. So if i record my VHS Tape to the Harddisk of the DVD-Recorder - it is one big mpeg-file! Than add chapters and a menu and save it on DVD - is it as good as the VHS-Tape or "lossy"? As said, i'm no expert in this and with my own eyes i can see no difference between the VHS-Tape-quality and the one on DVD. Of course it depends on the original quality. But i saved some old Queen-VHS like "Magic Years" on DVD and it looks great, in my opinion the same as the VHS. No dramatic difference! Thanks - Manuel

No... he's one of the most intelligent people on this forum, but he just isn't one of the most diplomatic ones.

Manic wrote: An intelligent man would get a point across and educate without being so arrogant, rude and offensive to a person who is atempting to share something with others.

"You know how I work" is not an excuse for putting off other potential uploaders who wish to be part of what is becoming a very divisive community.

Not all MP3 and other lossy formats will pollute your precious trading pool. Some people just want to hear the music and enjoy it for themselves.

I fully support sharing lossless only and am delighted to see that mp3 has all but disappeared from the sharing forum

YourValentine wrote: @ Dr3amsl33p - you can always email Richard and tell him you do not like the way he runs his forum - from experience I know it won't get you anywhere. In the past he has added various forums (Request forum, Serious Queen forum) to defuse some tension but you can add 20 more forums - as long as people do not play along it won't help. The "mods" issue has been discussed to death, too - there won't be any mods. And yes - we do not move all the wrongly posted topics all the time and immediately, so much is true :)
