Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds, Live at Radio City, 1080p

Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds, Live at Radio City RELEASE DATE: 4 September 2007 SOURCE .....: 1080p VC-1 @ 23.976 Hz, PCM Stereo @ 48 kHz ViDEO.......: 1080p x264 @ 7341 Kbps AUDiO.......: Vorbis VBR @ 192 Kbps RUNTiME.....: 2h 48m FilE SiZE...: 9,860,129 KB Live at Radio City is a miracle of concert cinematography, filmed from all angles by nine HD cameras. Images of the stage mingle with soft-focused closeups of the artists' hands and faces, silhouetted by prismatic spot lights. The shadowy backdrop is textured with a fine, digital grain. This isn't the sort of film that screams for a 1080p rip; the shots aren't super sharp, and there aren't any pyrotechnics. But after extensive testing, I've settled on this high bitrate. It preserves shadow details, color gradients, and camera noise -- nuances that would be lost by smaller encodes. I've seen the 720p rip going around, 3.6GB, replete with blocking artifacts. If appreciate such fine points, know that 3.6GB doesn't do justice to Dave and Tim's epic, 160-minute show. P.S. The 5.1 audio track is totally superfluous. This concert was mixed for CD in stunning stereo.

The third time I've uploaded this damn video. I've deleted the others, in case anybody notices me spamming TPB with redundant torrents.

Thx for this, but why downgrade the audio so much??? Wish you would have posted with the HD audio - it's a fantastic concert, but 192kbps audio?? Why?

" The 5.1 audio track is totally superfluous. This concert was mixed for CD in stunning stereo."
Actually, this was rated one of the best blurays to test a 5 or 7.1 system with. So, thanks for the effort but you're completely wrong. I recommend fans actually purchase this if they want the real INTENDED sound experience.

crankyerma2, 5.1 is for movies. Pure audio is never made for 5.1 playback. I understand that since this is a concert, there's a video component to it, but that doesn't count. It's a concert, not a film, and 5.1 is for movies/theater experience only, so with all due respect, you're wrong as well, and so is whoever said that an audio concert was good for testing a surround system.
To the uploader though, I find it hard to believe that a 3.6gig 720p version would have visible blocking. If my math is right, the bit rate for this if 3.6gigs would be just under 2900kbps, which is WAY more than sufficient for high quality video. In fact, that's even enough bit rate for a grainy 1080p film, much less a low motion concert, so if you did see problems with a 3.6gig version, it had nothing whatsoever to do with the bitrate. 1800-2200kbps would have been more than sufficient, and you made this over 3x bigger than it needed to be. Lots of x264 settings affect quality and compression, not just bit rate.

Now I get it. I just found the other one you mentioned and it was encoded in XviD. No wonder it looked crappy. XviD requires about 65% more bit rate than x264 does to have the same quality. You could have made this significantly smaller than that version and still had better quality because you're using x264 instead of XviD. Shame you didn't know.
