This concert was broadcast twice on MCM France
- firstly on the 12
September at 10.30pm-Midnight, and secondly at 4.00am-5.30am on 15
September. There was a technical problem with the first broadcast,
causing a small glitch during "Gigantic" in all recordings of
that
broadcast. The second broadcast was error-free.
NOTES ON VIDEO RE-ENCODING:
The original video stream (which had a relatively low average bitrate
of 3.0Mbit/s) contained 18-frame GOPs, which is not DVD compliant -
most hardware DVD players cannot play it correctly - so the video
needed to be re-encoded.
The TV broadcast included the "MCM" logo contained completely
within
the black letterbox border at the top-right corner of the screen, so I
took the opportunity to use a "blacken borders" filter to remove
this
logo during the re-encoding stage.
The re-encoding was done using the "two-pass DVD" encoding settings
of
the Linux program "avidemux2" with GOP size set to 15, a maximum
bitrate of 8000kbit/s and a target filesize of 3000MB. This filesize
was chosen to be significantly larger than the source file (about
2000MB) in order to minimise any quality loss during the re-encoding.
The resulting video has an average bitrate of 4.4Mbit/s with a maximum
bitrate of 7.9Mbit/s.
