Topic: 'Queen - Live In Budapest' LD to DVD transfer (Released)

This is probably one of the best Queen concerts on film ever. I have the VHS of it and it's a real keeper. The quality of sound and the performance are awesome (I haven't seen this transfer yet though). I heard they used just about every film camera available in the country for it... Something like 16 cameras?

Thanks for posting it.

Actually, I just bought a high-end LD player to do a better transfer. I might try to recap, then telecide it to get back to the 24fps. It has worked well with a couple other movies I have capped in the past. Great idea.

No, sorry... I was showing the difference between the BBC one and the LD I had just capped... I know most here have seen the LD, but I thought I'd reference it in the thread. I think there's a pretty big difference.

I don't know if it's "warmer..." That BBC copy looks pretty good to me. I just found this forum when I did a search for the chapter titles on the Japanese LD. I'm making a transfer for my dad for a birthday present and the colors are awfully muted on the LD.

I did some color correction and cleaning as well, but the color just isn't "there" on the disc. The Japanese LD was mastered pretty poorly. The cartoon portions *really* look telecined (they are, but they really look it here), and I had to raise up the black levels in some darkly lit scenes to make out the details in Remus' jacket, or Remus' room.

These are the color corrected, cleaned ones. Comparing the first & second sides, I think I probably should've reduced the green just a bit on the second side. But I've been working on this for a good 20-30 hours now, and I'm ready to be done with it.

Here are the pics from the final DVD:
