it wont matter that they are not lined up at the end. The key is that they line up at the start. They were likely locked to a central clock source so they are all synced with each other throughout. Just worry about the front lining up.

I just watched Victoria CAM1, and it looks great, but when I watched Victoria CAM3, I noticed that the image is blurring and vibrating in time with the bass-drum in the songs. Is this a glitch due to the camera that was used being vibrated by the rumbling of the music?, or was the camera operator having too much fun to hold it still? Or mabey the cameraman was being vibrated by the bassdrum? Or mabey they were too close to a speaker stack? Please dont take these questions the wrong way, Im quite elated about the videos being made available, Im not complaining, Im just technically curious, as the video in CAM3 is almost unusable for DVD authoring due to all the blur and vibrating going on, and I would love to know what made it act like that. Does anyone know what make and model of camera was used? Hopefully CAMs 2, 4, and 5 are a bit more stable.

Anyways, Cheers, and thanks for the terrific gig and christmas gift(s)!

alright, i'm one of the people having trouble playing the 2nd and 3rd parts, but the 1st part plays perfectly. in my case, it is sacramento angle 1. i'm using vlc and, like i said, part 1 plays perfectly. parts 2 and 3 play the video, but no audio. if i use a different player, i can hear the audio and get either no video, or laggy video.

so, i would like to extract the audio and video into 2 different files and then throw them into some software, sync up the audio and video, and then export as 1 file without actually doing any converting. i don't want any loss in quality.

any recommendations regarding software for windows vista that could pull this off?

This is the first time I'm using BitTorrent. I'm in the process of downloading all three shows and I have Final Cut Pro, blah blah blah

When I look at the BitTorrent program for the Sacramento concert (for example), it's showing me that I'm only 1.2% complete. When I view the torrent I can see that the size of the file is 113GB. When I open the folder to where the files are being stored, the folder size is at 101.56GB. The folder only contains the Sacramento show files. By doing some basic math, I can tell that the folder is about 90% of the entire file.

Am I missing something or is the BitTorrent progress feature not reliable and maybe I can start editing sooner than later?

Thanks for any help, tips, etc... when it comes to torrents.

What client are you using? Some will tell you how far along each file in the complete torrent is, others will not.

Needless to say I would be hesitant to edit before the entire torrent completes, if you do not have this information.

From what I can tell, I'm using BitTorrent-4.27.2-Beta.

It does have an option to see what percentage of each file is downloaded. This looks off too. For example, Cam1-1.mov it shows I've only downloaded 1.6 of 7.3GB. When I open the actual file, it already shows 7.3 has been downloaded.

For Cam1-2.mov the file is 8.7GB where I've downloaded 8.63GB and the tool is showing only .7% done.

The good thing is the folder size is increasing. Yesterday it was about 86GB and today is 101GB so I am making progress.

Grrrr..

The program will create and expand the file to it's actual size, before you're ever near completion. Think of it as a container. The container has to be large enough to hold all the contents meant for it, the torrent program just fills it up bit by bit as you download.

I would recommend going for all the CAM 1 footage first. So then you can at least import those into the video editing application of your choice, and watch the entire show. I JUST finished Victoria. Took me from the 10th, until this morning. I must've watched the CAM 1 footage 800 times. But it gave me some idea of where I want to insert other angles into the footage, etc.

My advice, be patient.

I switch tools from BitTorrent to Vuze for the MAC and I've been experiencing a much faster download rate. I think I'm on my way now.

Thanks,

Vuze is badass. Create an account with vuze and add me as a friend. We can share bandwidth directly in that manner. That goes for anyone else with Vuze for that matter. My name there is the same as it is here.

In this case, is it more important that the clips begin at the same point? I thought they were supposed to automatically line up?

pc+vlc-demuxing+adobe premiere cs4 (my setup):

in this case it´s important to set the clip reference at the endpoints in adobe´s timeline.
first line the audiotracks together and after this the video right at the ends, first if i used the startpoints the video/audio runs out of sync, so i found the endpoint-method working fine.
but maybe that´s just in my case, don´t know what about other pc setups.

and yes, sacramento cam2-1 you must get in sync manually, there´s no exact start- or end-referencepoint. i´s doing this by setting clipmarkers at exactly the same point in 2 videoclips (any good viewable short things like a handmove of trent or something like that) premiere cs4 gives the ability to set the sync of these 2 clips un use of this 2 clipmarks.

winrar. You can use the free version indefinitely. It just yells at you to purchase everytime you open a .rar file. Big deal.

How do I edit the portland files so I can burn them onto a dvd? The files are from 7.5-10 Gb each and a typical dvd is 4.7 Gb. If you have a quick fix will you please email me directly.

--- !!!!!!! HELP !!!!!!! ---

I have tried to download all three of the torrent files that Rob linked on the first page of the HD downlaod links forum. I cannot get ANY of them to load, connect, download, or anything else like that at all. I am opening the links up with LimeWire and it gives me this message:

(LimeWire was unable to load the torrent file "Nine_Inch_Nails_Live_Video_2008_12_05_Victoria_BC.torrent" -it may be malformed or LimeWire does not have permission to access this file.)

I really don't understand what in the hell the problem is here. I may or may not have downlaoded "things" from LimeWire before, and if I ever had downlaoded any thing from LimeWire I have NEVER had ANY trouble downloading before. I browsed through a few various forums related to "the gift" threads and so far, have not seen that anyone else has posted any problems with actually getting the download to... well, download! PLEASE, if any one can help me I would be extremely greatful! Thanks!

(In case this helps with anything; I am running the following system-)

Dell XPS 400
Windows XP Media Center Edition
Version 2002
Service Pack 3
Dual Core Intel Pentium 4 HT Processors

**And I have a 10 meg broadband ISP**

Try VLC (videolan.org/VLC) It can play it.

I have a few questions here... i've been downloading this for 3 weeks and i am barely at 50%, anyone have suggestions on how to get this any quicker? (please keep in mind i'm not well versed in the world of torrents, i know how to get stuff but no idea how to get it faster). Second, the files that I have received & played have this gray grid on the screen that seem permanent. It really annoying cus it covers most of the video frame. Does anyone have any idea why i'm getting this? Is there a way to turn it off? Am I getting this because the files haven't finished downloading?

Thanks for your help.

ps. i'm watching the files in quicktime with the HDV plug-in installed.

plug-in installed_i dont have that. is that my problem? im getten no visuals. mine seems to be takin as long as urs as well. but i have 1 video done and i cant see anything
