| Tech Notes | Grateful Dead - 20th Anniversary Profiles 1. "Entertainment Tonight" 5-85 2. "Prime Time People" 5-4-85 3. "Pacific Currents" 5-11-85 Another video from the Graceful Duck archive. Cable > Betamax > Playback Sony EDV-950 > Standalone Panasonic DMR-E50 (XP)> Re-Authored with DVD Shrink 3.2 No Artwork Chapters: 3 NTSC TRT: 21:27 Audio codec: AC3 Audio bitrate: 256 kb/s Video codec: MPEG2 Video bitrate: 8869 kb/s These shows were recorded by me on a betamax machine. Commercials were edited out using the pause button. After 22 years, the tape has degraded to the point where I let it roll from the master to my DVD burner without pausing to create seperate files. The third program - "Pacific Currents" was particularly problematic. Dropouts, tracking issues were overcome by re-burning the footage over and over until a useable version was achieved. I spent hours trying to get it right. I then merged the video files by re-authoring with DVD Shrink. This DVD is a historical document. The sound is muddy, as my betamax was on it's last legs at the time, especially with regard to the audio head. In early May 1985, The Grateful Dead approached their 20th Anniversary. The media was all over them, both locally in the Bay Area, and on national television programs "Entertainment Tonight" (a two-part feature) and West 57th on CBS. Many of the standard over-used clips are used here, but the interviews are very interesting, as is the footage from New Years 12-31-84, Nassau Coliseum in March '85, and Frost Ampitheatre from a week or two prior to the broadcast. There is even a short, but excellent clip of Bobby singing "Throwing Stones" from the Julia Morgan Theater in Berkeley on 5-5-85. The one huge error I made when recording was cutting Jerry's closing comment at the end of ET - "Stick around for another twenty years!" a1d3ece8fd43b07da1ec5a78a1a265f0 *VIDEO_TS.BUP a1d3ece8fd43b07da1ec5a78a1a265f0 *VIDEO_TS.IFO 237da9d8a1e9ab3f70f24568d8cdba2c *VTS_01_0.BUP 237da9d8a1e9ab3f70f24568d8cdba2c *VTS_01_0.IFO b6825e7914b3614fd50b108c09b5664a *VTS_01_1.VOB 0e9638a3f920deda8ae84012c4a96a16 *VTS_01_2.VOB |
