Hi, do you know if this is sourced from the DVD or from the rather inferior VHS tape ?

Storm,

According to the info file with the torrent it's prolly from a tape. Is the DVD a commercial release?

>>Is the DVD a commercial release?
No, but I have a copy of it that's in excellent condition. I also have Rockpalast 1983 with TKO horns & Afodiziak - a full concert which is sourced from a very good VHS copy.

I also have DVD's of
- Fuji Rock 2003 (amateur shot, but includes 3 pro-shot songs from Wowow TV)
- A&E Live By Request 2002 - perfect quality
- Confederates, Tokyo 1987 (only one hour, but includes Nick Lowe too, & the PLU duet). I think it's the same concert as Do The Phumba, and was filmed by Japanese TV - perfect quality, 13 songs.
- Collection of appearances on Japanese TV Chat shows in 2003. Absurd - the whackiest thing you've ever seen, but it DOES include Steve in the pork pie hat.
- VHS of the Brazilian concert with the Mingus band (average quality - probably 4th or 5th generation copy)

I must find time to bit-torrent these, or find a willing volunteer who will do it if I provide the DVD.

Deal. Let's play PAY IT FORWARD.

WHAR - PM me your address and I'll send you DVD's if you promise to send copies to Noise, Mr. A, and one other person who you've had misunderstandings with.

People with DVD burners should then forward copies to regular members with crappy bandwidth, and somebody else should bit-torrent.

WHAR - would you like the responsibility of organising this so that everybody gets what they want ?

Stage (00)1 - SW sends DVD's to WHAR
you know what I mean, a bit like a vine but it makes the regular contributors the first priority.

You mean you wouldn't forward three copies, or you wouldn't like to organise the distribution ?
There's nothing to it - you just gather a few facts then tell other people what to do. You might not realise it, but I'm preparing you for the unavoidable stage in your life known as "Middle Management"

I wouldn't do anything involving the post office. I'll send files through AIM, I'll share them through Soulseek, but I'm not dealing with real life, second-rate RMV employees.

I mailed a whole stack of Bowie/EC DVD's and CD's to Otis. I posted them on Friday in Tokyo, they arrived in England on Monday.
This delivery service is several magnitudes faster than any broadband service in operation today. Extracted to DVD format, the content I'm referring to is about 20GB of files, maybe more.

Sure - Soulseek, AIM is good for sharing mp3's and avi's, but not for multiple full quality DVD's.

I'll repeat the offer - do you want to be the first to forward these DVD's or shall I find somebody else ?

Faster, maybe... but it's not nearly as convenient.

I think you should find somebody else. I want a copy, but I can't deal with the post office right now.

Storm, what are the rules again?
I'd say yes, if only I had a DVD burner to make copies for other people. (Plus there is no one on the board I've had misunderstandings with. Yet. :twisted: )

Any other chance ?
