I have authored a couple discs before, but they were very simple ones to do. This wasn't that hard, but it was a learning curve to get it ALMOST right. I need better DVD authoring software in the future, what I used was pretty basic low-end consumer software. The menu track selection pages are a bit wonky but they work. I could have made motion menus with sound and all that jazz, but I would have had to either compress the audio or the video or both. The program doesn't have those features anyway. As it is there isn't much space to go around, but the audio is LPCM unaltered from the camera, and the video is also basically untouched. The program performed the capture from the master tapes and was used to track and edit the show. Too bad about the LP record speed and the unfortunate tape flip in Roxanne, but it's not too bad at all, really. Would you rather not have this to watch? I thought so! I had to edit about 6 minutes of footage before the show starts - the Clarchivist filmed the stage, crowd, and general hype of the pre-show. He also filmed personal greetings and such that need not be shared here. I also cut out the post-show wrap-up footage, also featuring private messages. The whole concert is here end to end except for the tape flip during Roxanne, where about 20 seconds is missing. The PowerProducer program cut the 90 minute video segment of tape #1 automatically at the 60 minute mark as I was transferring the video into the computer, rudely chopping the last 30 seconds off of tr10 Wrapped Around Your Finger. I did my best to re-attach it, but there's a slight hesitation where the cut is. You probably wouldn't notice it if I didn't tell you it's there. The capture of the 2 master tapes made 3 large files to work with in PowerProducer. I marked the songs and encore breaks as chapters, and made menu pages from some video stills chosen by Clarchives and some stolen coverartworx from the audio release. As I said, the menu pages didn't turn out exactly right. The frames of the thumbnails of each song should light up to select them and they don't. Also those thumbnail pictures aren't the best - I later learned how to select a new picture for each one instead of the first picture of the clip. I could've made the thumbnails in motion and added sound, but again I think it all would take more room I didn't want to use. I think as it is the video is rendered in basically its best quality, and the audio is the same as the master tape. Clarchives did a pretty good job of filming this show, considering all the facts. There was (in)security busting heads all around. The section he was in was not "into" him filming, and the crowd wasn't making it any easier. Although he went with friends that want to get copies of the show, they don't appreciate how hard the work is to produce something like this. His buddies that didn't help him film in any way don't know what it's like, they just want gimme gimme now! It does suck to watch a show through a 2-inch screen when it's happening right in front of you. I know, I've filmed shows before, too. Clarchives was still getting used to stealth videobooting concerts and the finer details of roio videography after audiotaping plenty of shows. He also wanted to enjoy the show and not just watch it through a viewfinder. This means there might be the occasional line of lyric sung along, or the sporadic bad camerawork. This is where the cameraman was having a good time - so lighten up on the harsh criticism. There is another audio source available for this show, recorded row 2 in front of Andy. I chose to let this camera sound be as is, instead of replacing with the other audio. Neither one is all that good, IMHO, not bad, but one doesn't win over the other. This means if YOU want to demux this edition and matrix the two audio sources, or make some 5.1 surround of both sounds or multiple audio channels, go for it. Just make sure to share it out with us, okay? In fact, contact me if you want to do this, and I could provide the source files from the MiniDV capture pre-authoring for you to work with. I haven't made any artworx covers for this yet, that's your job. He filmed it, I made it DVD / sharing ready, you can make the covers! All I ask is that if you DO make some cool photoshop-ey artworx for this that you post'em up for everyone to freely enjoy, and maybe email me personally with your results... Speaking of freely, although it costs plenty to go to a show, and lots more to tape it, and even more for me to copy it, and still more to share it up with you, we ask of all of you that you don't try to profit off of this work that we choose to share with you for no financial gains to ourselves. It was a lot of work collectively to do: from the stealth taper stress involved and not just casually going to a show like the rest of you; to not just immersing into a show but watching a little box you've got to hold all night; to hauling a camera and master tapes and a computer on two ferry rides as a walk on passenger with public transit etc. to get the transfers done and DVD's made; to finally reconfiguring a new computer for adapting the borrowed camera and tapes and figuring out new software from scratch. Sorry it took so long to get out, but it ain't easy to get done sometimes, and it's not a race. Do not sell this recording. Do not buy it either. Rental is also questionable. Do burn many copies and hand them out like business cards. Give to friends. Donate to strangers. Don't transcode this and waste the internet's bandwidth by putting clips of this up on YouTube or other sites. It's meant to be seen on a big screen with nice sound, not some tiny screen all blocky and jerky. YouTube is a bandwidth sucker and a waste of perfectly good torrenting space! That's about it for this info file. I hope you enjoy the film. I wish I was there. In a small way I still get some fun out of the show. Now you can, too.Cheers!
