Re: [inthenight] videos

[Adrian James]

Hey Brad (and Vincent). From all appearances, I'm the guy getting these digital versions stitched together into pretty DVDs.  I'd love to get a hold of all of these to add to the collection.  Please keep me in the loop as to when/where these are uploaded - and let me know if I can be a help in converting them or any needs you might have.  Thanks for popping in and offering to help with this, by the way!

I edited out the sparkles and theres a few slight audio dropouts there.. I also have Shining Road from the 1997 Cranes Much Music special, recorded onto a S-VHS deck from DirecTV satellite. TDK tape at high speed, so hopefully still excellent quality . I'm trying to locate the tape and will convert both the whole special and the video.  The format is 704x480x29.97 fps 8000 kbps 384 kpbs audio mpeg-2, and should be good to use for a dvd without any reconversion. I'm using a Matrox G-400-TV for conversion with Virtualdub + Huffyuv + smartdeinterlace with a touch of temporal noise reduction, and the Tsunami encoder. I also have a tweaked copy of Fuse in LAME max quality stereo VBR MP3. I fixed the levels mismatch between songs and did separate parametric eq on each track (original sounds like it's a master for vinyl.. very screechy). I also tweaked the azimuth on my Onkyo 3 head deck for the tape and calibrated the speed with a nortronics calibration tape and frequency counter. I think it's much more listenable than the original. :) If you email me a login (ftp if possible) I can upload them. It's about 340 MB total so far.
