 | I opened the file with another DivX player on my computer, and I have now the whole thing.
Sorry and thanks !
P.S.: the file being 4.7Go = regular DVD, simple layer ? I wonder if I have space for the iDVD menu ;-) |

 | @mog This can´t be a DVD.
It is a HD-ready file, resolution much higher than DVD. And the codec is xvid (a free version of divx), a much better codec than the MPEG-2 codec DVD´s have (which was invented somewhen in the early 1990´s I guess)
Either your DVD player can play xvid files (most can), then you simply burn that file onto a DVD, or the 2nd best way would be to play it on your computer and connect your TV or whatever with a HDMI cable. A media player would do it also.
Making a regular DVD out of it will be hard. The best free software is Tmpgenc, anyway the resolution will be around 576 lines after that in PAL (or 480 lines in NTSC).
I maybe make one...but only PAL, because the frame rate is 25 frames and I do not want to insert 4,7 extra frames to make it a NTSC format DVD.
Quality of the picture will never be as good as now. |

| I will try making a DVD
Just to give you an impression, look at this picture..I only made the first 10 seconds now
left is the DVD, right the HD vide. The text is hard to read on the DVD... |

| forget it...computers only make strange things, screenshot did not work (showed me the right picture in photoshop, but when I save it, the HD file screen is black. Anyway, you know what I mean if you watch the first 10 seconds of the file, ARTIST PLAYING IN is sharp and clear. thousands of details in the sky (around the lamps) are lost on the DVD... It is really incredible how big the difference is. |

That a common windows / direct show / direct X.
You could disable hardware acceleration in your windows setting or just use another tool to take screenshots (like fraps) as far as I remember VLC should have its own screenshot function that should work too ;) |

| @Patata - yes I was aware of that, but the strange thing is: I could copy the screenshot to photoshop, there the picture was visible. Even when I minimized the VLC window..it was there. Normaly I would expect to have a black screen in photoshop. Anyway...I just realized when I saw it uploaded here, so I gave up.
I am producing a DVD at the moment, will take another 7 hours because I set Tmpgenc to highest possible quality (2 times encoding). |

 | @Patata Thank you so much! This is a great concert! I just Love the sound of Hearts & Bones, SOS sounds sublime and I love to see Paul getting into it on Late In The Evening :-) All the new songs are becoming fast favourites... Questions for the Angels is just stunning. I´ll enjoy this for years to come.
Just for info, I grabbed the dingle file, and used VSO ConvertX2DVD for brilliant results on my HD TV (all things considered). Thanks again :-) |

| Did anybody catch the short interview with Paul? I didn´t know if it was shown on the original airing as I didn´t watch it, i´ve just caught it ow on ITV2. It was nothing to write home about really just another awkward interview with a interviewer who knows/cares very little about his music. |

 | Bodo, please let me know about the quality of your dvd. Just found out that there isn´t a dvd-burner in my computer, so I am considering purchasing one, but if the quality is really bad, I might not. |

| Well, what should I say about the DVD. It all depends on the size and quality of your TV.
4-5 years ago I would have said this is the best DVD we ever got - just now compared to the 720p file you see how much details you loose.
If you have a good HD TV and want the best quality, you might have a BlueRay or DVD player wich can decode the divx file, so go with this file as it is (but you can not select a songtitle).
Most new Computers have a HDMI out, if your TV also has a HDMI input then connect them, and you have the best quality.
If you have a smaller or older LCD TV the DVD is fine enough, as you can not see more details anyway on your screen.
I will test now if my Old DVD player can play that divx file. |

| I saw the interview on ITV2. She seemed to be very clued up to be honest (she knew about the Jay-Z reference in Questions for Angels) but it was awkward because she was very embarrassed for some reason and I thought Paul was a little bit sarcastic. |

| But...strange question...the .avi is a compressed format...even in the HD dvix, how could be better that real DVD/blue-ray with full quality files ? Unless you tell me that HD dvix files are lossless...
Anyhow, I am creating my own 4.7 Go now with new Patata file on iDVD with a fancy menu. I used 4 songs from SBOSW as background for menus. The thing is iDVD can only create chapters with a certain frequency of minutes. That is my sole imperfection I think of my project. I would have to create my own song chapters in iMovie, but then this guy does not accept .avi...
I guess commercial DVD have still a life before them ;-) |
