this is without the interview segments (unfortunately). those weren't included in the rebroadcast (which occurred in 2001). so I have to suppose that to be the version on DIME now.

I have both versions, but the one which includes the interview has somewhat inferior video quality (alas).

just posting this in an FYI type of way, and perhaps hoping for the possibility that somebody out there might have the version-with-the-interviews in truly good video quality.

813 MB seems kinda small for a VHS > DVD even for a short show, but hey, I haven't seen it.
So how's the quality on this one?

I think the transfer is very very good, considering it's from VHS, 1999. The picture quality seems a bit dark, but that may be my monitor. I think I'll pull it in to an editor and give it a few tweaks, but overall, this is a fantastic little show.

oh, now I see that there is the interview! which Straycat added to the setlist, I suppose (since I didn't see it the first time around).

now I shall have to download this, to see if it may be better quality than the version I already got.

Hi everybody,
I didn't add anything : the itw was included in the set list given by Dime. I haven't had, yet, a look to this show, but it's supposed to be a great one ! Cool

I've wanted to see this for a while, haven't had time to watch it yet...

But I'm uploading a 150MB mp4 version for those of you that can't get a Dime...

How bout instead of mp4, use mp3? Very Happy

Just a tiny suggestion...

Site Admin Joined: 26 Sep 2007 Posts: 2661

^ Too late! :smile:

But mp3 is audio only. This is a video. I have had no complaints about mp4s, some people may prefer AVI, but I sometimes have trouble with AVI codecs.

But if this doesn't work just let me know. Wink

it was probably my tired mind that didn't register everything the first time I looked at your first post here. sometimes when I'm at the computer late at night (and feel in a hurry on top of everything) I just fail to register certain things. - but I'm glad that this version has the interview segments.

I see a message that says -

Because this tracker is running in members only mode you'll need to download your personal torrent file before you can start seeding it! Please wait for the download to start within a few seconds. If the download does not start automatically, click here.

The last step to start a torrent is to discard the torrent file that you created and download the one from Dime, just as if you were leeching. Dime modifies the torrent file somehow so that your account gets credit for the upload.

thanks for this information, which I was just about to ask for (since I'd been noticing that my seeding effort appeared to have no effect, no seeder showing even though I'd already taken the usual steps to start seeding).

being my first time doing this (uploading a torrent), no wonder I needed to get some pointer to do it right.

Good! That's probably all it is.

The first mistake I made on my first torrent at Dime, was to go through all the steps, and then I changed a couple of words in the text file. This caused a checksum error.

The second mistake I made, was trying to delete the torrent and start over. That's when I met the support staff. Rolling Eyes

I can tell you that last night (during the process of making my initial attempt at uploading this torrent) I mistakenly happened to delete the data files from my hard-drive. but fortunately enough I keep all my PJ files in duplicates (on two separate discs), so no irreparable harm was done. (I don't know if I should be blushing with shame at my awful mistake, or burst with pride in my very good precaution, on account of this.)

It looks like I can help out for a bit. Somebody already has about 95% of it though...
