A Perfect Circle - 05/03/00
Civic Center
Providence, RI
MiniDV?(m)>dvdr(x) [standalone recorded]
Length - 45:49

Audience-shot from high up and far back in
the left side of the crowd. The video is
mostly zoomed on the singer and the picture
is very clear and detailed once the show
starts, at first it is very grainy before
the stage lights come on. The camerawork is
relatively steady and the stage is colorful.
Audio quality is excellent and seems to just
be taken from the video. The main menu looks
like something basic from a standalone
recorder and gives no information other than
the band and date of the show, and no chapter
selection or anything else. The disc is also
seperated into 5:00 chapters, which do not
coincide with the length of the songs.
Sourced from the master, probably recorded
on a d8 or MiniDV camera. The only notable
problems with the video are people walking
in front of the taper from time to time and
the taper apparently hiding the camera under
a shirt or something a few times, very nice
quality overall with the exception of the
menu. The transfer is done at a variable
bitrate at a high average (always keeping
above 8mbps).
From the same taper/transferer as A Perfect
Circle's 11/22/03 show.
