  1. Hey,

    Here is Get On Your Boots from today's performance at the Echo Awards, Berlin!
    No its not a HD (nor digital recording) but it looks pretty good for an analogue cable recording

    Now I'll stop bragging. See links below

    U2
    2009/02/21
    Echo Awards
    Berlin, Germany

    1. Get On Your Boots

    Lineage: Analogue Cable -> NVTV Tuner (HW MPEG2 encoding; VBR best quality) -> MPEG4 (Mencoder; copy audiostream; crop black bars; deinterlace; 2 pass encoding) -> You

    Details:

    Captured with NVTV Tuner in Dell dockingstation for laptops. Analogue cable, amplifier and 20m KOKA799 coax cable. Recorded using MediaPortal and its TV Server.

    Encoded to MPEG4 codec with Mencoder, deinterlaced with Yadif and copied original audio stream from HW encoding TV tuner.

    Cropped from 720x576 (4:3) to 720x432 (16) to remove black bars. Some noise and some pixelation. Raw MPEG2 TS stream has less pixelation but has black bars. Will upload this version as well.

    Problems with WMP
    Windows is not shipped with MPEG2 audio codec and MPEG4 video codecs. Download and install ffdshow from http://ffdshow-tryout.sourceforge.net/ and you wont have any problems with this video. And as an extra almost every video you will ever download will work on your pc

    I checked U2Torrents if they allow these kind of recordings. I am not sure. If someone feels like seeding it there: i have no problem with that But best would be to wait at least until tomorrow. There might be a HD recording of the show

  3. Awesome, thank you very, very much!
  4. A better quality source will surface I'm sure. But this was just a quick encoding for fans without german tv
  5. Thank you Risto

  8. Original TS file uploaded Better quality, but black bars at the top and bottom.
  9. Thanks a lot! I downloaded the avi and it's great to see the performance in a somewhat bigger format than on the live streaming.

    You're welcome The encoding could be better, its not excellent. But its decent filler until a better source shows up
  11. Thanks, added mp3 and avi to bootleg and video pages! (most accessible ).
    If there's any good quality Youtube link, let us know here.

    I'm uploading the widescreen avi now to youtube. But I'm afraid quality will be terrible. We'll see
