    Videos also made its way to the top menu for easy access.
    Nice! Wonder what show it's gonna be?
  3. Just a quick question about the videos? Why are most 480p? Are they still processing or is that how they are?
  4. I uploaded a lot based on DVD's that me or friends had back from back in the day, which are 480p unfortunately.

    If you see a better version for some shows, let me know and we'll replace them (or reupload)
  5. That's just how they are Keep in mind that most of them come from DVDs that we or other people have ripped and then uploaded to Youtube. And since DVDs have an intrinsic resolution of 720×480 pixels (NTSC) and 720×540 pixels (PAL).

    EDIT. Remy beat me to it, but yeah that's basically it. For shows prior to Elevation tour 480p is always gonna be the highest resolution possible. From VT on there might be some 720p/1080p that we're missing (or are in 480p) and it would be great if you could help us upgrading these

After an extensive work of comparing the lists of existing video recordings found on Justin CDR 's site (which is down since many years ago but I could retrieve thanks to the WayBack Machine) and double checking with the Achtungbootlegs archive, we are pretty sure we are only lacking the following shows. Some of them are rare recordings and some of them are famous bootlegs that are just not available on Youtube. If someone has any of these in DVD format please PM me and we'll work together to get it ripped and uploaded to Youtube:

    Sure it's a long list but it only gives you an idea of how many hours we've put into this Any help in helping to grow the collection would be much appreciated


    PS. I haven't listed any show further to 2006 as the lists are much less comprehensive after the Vertigo Tour and it's almost impossible to keep track of every "modern" show that was recorded in full. If you find a full video of any 360, IE, JT30, EI or JT32 show feel free to send it over and we'll add it to the collection in no time. Thanks!
