If I'm missing anything, let me know. And if anyone is familiar with DVDs and could write up a small faq for that, please PM me. |

You should add that the FLAC frontend includes both a Winamp plugin for listening and a Nero plugin for burning CD's. |

a couple additions I didn't see ____ on that list, when will it be available on DVD? Was it even videotaped? Not every show is videotaped. And of the ones that are, not all of them have been put onto DVD yet. It's a time-consuming process. Usually the more popular/recent shows will be made available first, and it's really hard to know if/when a show will end up on DVD. So if it's listed as videotaped here, then it may show up on DVD someday. But I saw people there with camcorders, where's the DVD? Pearl Jam has their own crew that videotapes their shows. You'll usually see someone up near the front with a handheld video camera. This is footage for their purposes, and they may release some of it, or they may keep it in their archives. This is how Live at the Showbox, Live at the Garden, and Touring Band 2000 were recorded, as well as the clips they used to post on their website. If you saw someone with a camcorder, and they weren't trying to hide it, it was probably someone from pearl jam's crew or a photographer. Either way, it's not a tape that's going to end up being traded on a message board. |

Thanks Matthias and Dan! I've added your info into the first post. I'm just going to link people to this thread from now on if their question is answered in here twoheadedboy wrote: You should add that the FLAC frontend includes both a Winamp plugin for listening and a Nero plugin for burning CD's.
I have the link for FLAC Winamp2 plugin as the FLAC frontend. As far as I know, that plugin is only for Winamp 2, correct me if I'm wrong. |

oh another one that was recently asked on the old board: How can i play a downloaded DVD without having a DVDburner? Software DVD players like the above described WinDVD allow you to select a harddrive for DVD playback. To make a DVD playable from your harddrive copy the VIDEO_TS folder to the root directory of a harddrive. (Example: C:\VIDEO_TS) When you start WinDVD now it will autoplay the DVD from your harddrive or you can manually switch to drive C with right click -> source. I have a show on (S)VCD and would like to transfer it to DVD. Will the quality improve with the transfer? A clear NO. It is possible to transfer an (S)VCD to DVD but it is not worth the effort. There will be no improvement in video quality. If the source file is bad, the destination wont be better. Or "crap in, crap out". The other reason not to do this is that other traders might think the VCD/DVD is a real and clean DVD. Actually there are a handful DVDs around already that are sourced from VCDs cause ppl didnt know better. Besides the video problem you also have to resample the VCD audio (which is 44.1 KHz) to DVD audio (48KHz). In many cases the audio and video in the newly created file will be out of sync and you have to redub the entire show. I wont put up a guide how to do the transfer, cause it will just pollute the DVD trading circles! So if you get offered a show that is not listed on one of the above sites, make very sure you are trading a true DVD! What are the best shows out there or what are the consensus TOP 15 DVDs out there? Some Top Lists taken from the old board: 1991-08-23 Mural Amphitheater: Seattle, WA USA [redone version] 1992-03-16 Kaufman Astoria Studios: Queens, NY USA 1992-06-08 Pinkpop Festival: Landgraaf, Netherlands - NEW VERSION 1993-08-14 Gimli Motorsport Park: Gimli, Manitoba Canada 1995-06-20 Red Rocks Amphitheater: Morrison, CO 1995-11-06 Sports Arena: San Diego, CA 1998-07-22 Memorial Stadium: Seattle, WA 1998-09-11 Madison Square Garden: New York City, NY 1999-10-30 & -31 Shoreline Amphitheater: Mountain View, CA 2000-08-25 Jones Beach Amphitheater: Wantagh, NY 2000-11-06 Key Arena: Seattle, WA 2003-05-02 HSBC Arena: Buffalo, NY 2003-07-19 Palacio de los Deportes: Mexico City, Mexico 2003-10-22 Benaroya Hall [YouthCare Benefit]: Seattle, WA There is also a highly recommended 2 DVD set called Mementos Vol.1 & Vol.2 It includes a great selection of songs from existing DVDs. The full setlist and info can be found here http://www.our-modern-needs.com/nfo/MEM ... _notes.txt I've seen an unreleased show on ebay that i feel i should buy and distribute. Should I bid it up and then copy to everyone on red-moz? No, never buy on ebay. You'll probably end up in a bidding war with someone with the exact same idea. If the show is up on ebay trust that it will eventually get traded, quite probably in an improved version with menus and 5.1 sound. Even if you get it you should think if it is the best version possible before spreading. Example: Is there a better audio source available? If you aren't sure about that or how to add better audio, post it on the board and someone will help you out! I heard something about Easter Eggs on PJ DVDs, what is that and which DVDs have Easter Eggs? Easter Eggs are hidden features on DVDs that can also be seen as a little bonus for those who take the time to hunt for them. Right now there are 4 DVDs with this little bonus features: Bad Radio 90, Seattle 98, West Palm Beach 03 and Mementos Vol.2. Dont ask how to find them, that would ruin the fun for us all Good Luck |

What is the pj police? The PJ police is a taskforce that exists in the shades. No one and everyone is a part of it. There's only thing we can tell about the PJ police: if you are caught (and you WILL BE) selling any of the bootlegs you GET FOR FREE you'll have to face TERRIBLE consequences. BEWARE!!!! GREAT faq cheers L. |

Thanks for the info, sadly my DVD player supports very few formats (no vdd/svcd) but the one in our living room supports nearly all the formats. Once again, thanks. |
