1. Any lossless source for the 2002 Super Bowl show? I already have one but it's missing the montage at the beginning, and the one for download here is lossy.

    If this is not allowed then I hope it gets taken down

    I didn't know a lossless audio source existed for the Superbowl performance at all. Have you looked it up on U2torrents?
  3. It is on U2Torrents, but it's missing:

    - The announcer at the beginning
    - The montage of U2 songs
    - The beginning of Beautiful Day is slightly faded in, and an abrupt fade out

    The one here has those things listed, but it's lossy. Would be nice to have one in a lossless form
  4. The official DVD got AC3 audio and the TV broadcast is technical also lossy.
  5. Yeah, I was thinking about the TV broadcast being lossy, I always assumed there wasn't a lossless version of this. I wonder where U2torrent's source comes from then.

    Answering myself, this is the claimed lineage for it:

    Source: Digital Cable > Sony SVR-2000 TiVo unit
    Conversion: SVR-2000 > S-Video/RCA cables > Sony DVMC-DA2 Converter > TI Firewire card > Premiere 6.0 > WAV > Goldwave 4.25 (levels) > WAV > mkwACT (0.97b1) > SHN
    Taper/Conv: Noel Fiser (fiser@unc.edu)

    And the freq analysis doesn't lie either:



    So we stand corrected!
  7. it would be cool to have a lossless version.. perhaps one could have the audio and the footage and combine them into a upgraded version
  8. What does lossless mean?
  9. lossless means the data is not altered, but compressed in an efficient manner, therefore keeping all the data, while lossy means that some data has been thrown away to reduce it to a size small enough


    hope someone explains it much better than i did, based of the top of my head
  10. No that makes sense, lossless = higher/cleared quality since it’s not compressed
  11. there is uncompressed lossless and compressed lossless
  12. Yeah, it would be nice to have a lossless version of it, since I want to make a remastered version of the Super Bowl performance, or whatever you call it
