I have a DVD to upload....wanna make sure my info is straight first....

This is the info I have for this, that I just got in a trade. Quality is an A/A- Pro-Shot DVD.

Soul II Soul
1990: A New Decade
Live from Brixton

AUDIO CODEC: AC3
AUDIO BITRATE: 256kbps
VIDEO SYSTEM: PAL 25.00 fps
VIDEO BITRATE: 4482 kbps
LENGTH OF TIME: 1:28:25

I don't have lineage, and was kinda confused by the options I was given as I don't know anything about the different types or whatever.

I got the above info from G. Spot

You might want to send a PM the video mods so they see this thread.

Usually they will ask if you did any sort of research on this to see if you can find any source information. Google is what I usually use. I tried using "Soul II Soul A New Decade" and "Soul II Soul A New Decade bootleg" and wasn't really finding anything relevant. Maybe try a few other terms that you think may help you find some sort of information (do you know of any unofficial bootleg/live recording sites for stuff by them? I didn't see them on the bootleg archive.).

first bitrate above should be audio bitrate.

does the dvd have chapter marks that align with the songs? or are they random every 5 minutes or so?

let me check real quick.

edit: yeah I fixed that, I just accidentally typed "video" instead of "audio" for that first bitrate.

They are at the beginning of each new song, not random 5 minute ones.

That typically suggests that it was computer authored. Does it have menus?

Can you see a squiggly line at the top and bottom of the screen when you play it on a computer. That is head switching noise and shows it was probably VHS sourced. Sometimes TVs crop this out and you won't be able to see it. That is why it is important to play it on a computer to test that.

I'm playing it on my computer and it doesn't have the VHS tracking

I got two dvds, one of them (a D'Angelo concert) was VHS sourced and I'm not even bothering with that one.

I wanted to post up a sample but I can't figure out how to cut the .vob file

And there's a title menu, kinda generic looking

Generic looking menu sounds like standalone authored. that is a little confusing.

Does it have any TV logos on the screen?

Those pictures make it seem like there's these lines through the video and the pics are not as good quality as the video is.

It's definitely pro shot. Looks like it was shot for TV but that is speculation.


Lineage would be something like this.

Proshot > ? > unknown transfer > DVD

Is the generic menu a blue screen with a few titles on it?

Yeah. I was thinking that it was obviously shot for TV, but has no logos. It might have been rebroadcast and someone captured it onto a DVR or something like that. A Digital Source.

Here's a screenshot of the menu.
