It's a pretty tough work to do, but really this is one of my best remastering work to date to me. Took so much time to be finished. Anyway this IS one of really historical nights of Metal history. Sabbath meets Priest... Wow it's a nice dream. Glad that it wasn't a nightmare. Many thanx for taper and Oryo Prod. for sharing this very cool moment for us.

Okay here is source info :

Video : Authored by Oryo Productions -> Edit with Final Cut Pro -> Re-encoded with 7MB bitrate CBR -> you
Plus. Cool extra footage added. Annoying "Music from the middle of blah-blah-blah..." is completely removed. I just didn't like the digifont and blink.
Audio : The matrix of same night's audience recording CD and this original DVD. I put 2 audio materials on this DVD : PCM 2.0ch audio and Dolby Digital 5.1ch surround. You can enjoy twice.

PCM sound consists of mainly from CD source also with DVD source mixed together (about 7:3). It's far listenable than original CD indeed. Less volume fluctuation, lots of modification and EQing.

Dolby Digital 5.1ch surround sound consists of mainly from DVD source (a bit from CD, too (8:2)) for front 2ch. Rear LR surround is from CD source. Coz CD sound has more crowd noise, so you can hear just like you are there (band sound from front speakers and much crowd noise from rear speakers). It's really cool to put two sources together and I liked the result. Encoded with 448 kbps AC3 (Dolby Digital 5.1ch).

But please note that two sources will NOT completely sync well never. If they used same gear for very far seats recorded same show, they never be the same speed technically (Logically they do but technically never). And this orignal VHS tape really stretched. I've modified the speed and total length is a bit shorter than original. Still, the camera work is purely suck though. But who cares? It's better than nothing for this really historical show.

I liked my work, and hope you like it, too.
