Van Halen III in Sydney AUS 1998

[MrFingers]

Here's my first DVD seeder for you all. It's the Much Music version if I remember correctly. Converted from the VHS I taped.

Set List:
1. Unchained
2. Without You
3. One I Want
4. Mean Street
5. Fire in the Hole
6. Get Me a Doctor
7. Why Can't This Be Love
8. Year to the Day (Kick ass solo IMO)
9. Right Here, Right Now
10. Josephina
11. Ain't Talking Bout Love
12. Panama

Enjoy!

What can you tell me/us about the video quality? How did you do the conversion? (equipment, etc...) The size seems small for an hour (or more?) of DVD quality video. How is the audio encoded? LPCM or AC3? Stereo or Mono?

Sorry for the questions, just looking for the best available version. Thanks!

[MrFingers]

I have a Pinnacle Studio Dc10? capture card. Hifi vhs to capture card. You'll never get DVD quality video from a VHS tape so I guess the video is the same as the VHS tape. Someone might have a better version out there. There's only 12 songs. I believe the audio is either PCM or just mpeg-1 2 channel stereo. Did this awhile back but I'm pretty sure its the later. Don't have anything to encode to AC-3 with sorry(wish I did) . Hope that answers your questions. Understand you looking for the best version. That's whats nice about these torrent sites, sooner or later we'll all end up with the best versions :thumb:

Hope that answers your questions.
Sure does, sounds good enough to download IMO. :D Thanks!

Thanks for the post :thumb: Its going to be cool to see VH with Gary C. since I missed this concert. Every now and then I forget that he was a member of the band. Thanks again man.

Thanks, MrFingers! :D

[mondola]

Thanks, Mr. Fingers, for seeding this show !!!

The nice thing about it, is that it is relatively small compared to the other shows, being only 1Gb !

It's a fantastic show. I thought the band seemed so relaxed and comfortable on this tour, and I loved Ed's tone and just, well, relaxed way of playing.

I quickly watched Mean Street, and the Year To The Day solo. The solo in that is a cracker, so amazing !!!

He just looks like he's having so much fun !!!

So thank you, thank you, thank you for seeding this one !!!

:bow:

(p.s. - now currently seeding...)

FYI: I've burned this to DVD and looked at it. The video is MPEG 1 encoded, (352x240 VideoCD), not DVD resolution. The bit rate is very low (about 1.2Mbps) and the picture is pretty full of compression artifacts. Audio is good. Good to have this show for the extra songs not shown on the MTV version. Just don't make this your only Sydney DVD. Thanks MrFingers.

[Pyrotech]

I loved Ed's tone and just, well, relaxed way of playing.

I'de have to aggree. That tour is about as close to 1984 that Eddie has ever come as far as his guitar talent. For some strange reason he was the "real" EVH during that tour. Ive seen this show and the full show, nothing missing.
It takes only a few songs to relize that on that tour Eddie was back.. In all his glory. I have a feeling that Eddie may be more himself when things are new, fresh. Most of us may not consitter Gary to be the greatest thing for VH, but if hes the fresh reason that Eddie was 100% back that tour..

Hat's off to him. :rock:

[sooner5150]

wow, ive been looking for this for a while....talk about some big time bandwith going on here! ive got this show downloading and uploading, and the 2 compilation dvd's downloading and uploading..


Total dl bw = 688kb
Total up bw = 67kb (I hate upload caps!!)

[a_bell_2003]

umm im a new user and was just wonderin how to play video torrents

[sooner5150]

ironically enough, this is definitely one of my favorite shows...i really didnt care too much for gary, but they played some great old shit during this tour...ed's tone is amazing!! the intro on mean street is bad ass!! sounds just like the album version....

[EVH5150]

umm im a new user and was just wonderin how to play video torrents

Download the torrent, then you can use a software DVD player like PowerDVD or WinDVD to open all of the VOB files, and view the DVD on your computer. This will will work, unless someone chooses to post the DVD in the "easier" format - an ISO image. If they do that, you'll have to figure something else out... I don't know if a software player can do the job or not, ISOs are a pain in the F*ckin' ass to work with.

If you have a DVD burner, you can just burn all the files you downloaded into the VIDEO_TS folder on a new DVD layout and burn, and you're ready to go. An ISO can just be burnt to the disc... but you may have issues. 20-30 % of DVD players on the market will glitch out on ISO images. I have 2 players at home that won't even read an ISO image burned disc.

That help??

[sooner5150]

dvd decryptor will help out with the iso versions...it can burn it to dvd for you automatically regardless of what format it is in...

[EVH5150]

Yeah, burning the ISOs is no problem... I'm concerned with the people who may want to watch the DVD, but don't have a compatible player or a DVD burner. The VIDEO_TS folder can be queued up in a software DVD player and viewed on the computer... Can you do that with an ISO??? I'm not sure, I've never even tried:D

[sooner5150]

i am pretty certain that dvd decryptor can take an iso and then convert to the vob files on the hard drive for viewing...but i have not tried it..only heard about it...

[Pyrotech]

Thats not possable with DVD Decrypter, All files must be read from a disc as far as making VOB files go. However, the most common use app that will do that is ISOBuster. Works perfect for extracting CD-i, VCD, SVCD, CD-ROM, CD-ROM XA, CD-R, CD-RW DVD-ROM, DVCD, DVD-RAM, DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+RW, DVD+R ISO, BIN, NRG, IMG,...and anything else you through at it. ISO, BIN, NRG, IMG are only 4 of 23 CD/DVD image type total supported.

Its all i use, and all you'll ever need.

Here is my registration info,

-----------------------------------------------------------------
EDIT:EVH5150

HK provided registration information here, however, I feel that in the interest of safety for the site that we cannot have it posted in public. This would be under the realm of pirated software, and we like to keep it legal here. I will double-check with the big man, but I have a feeling I know what he is going to say.

Sorry guys, and thanks to HK for the advice, link, and for being so generous, but the safety of the site is my number one concern.

Thanks for understanding.

You may want to check this out http://www.daemon-tools.cc/dtcc/portal/download.php?mode=ViewCategory&catid=5

It emulates a drive and you can mount your iso image so your computer thinks that there is actually DVD in a drive.

[a_bell_2003]

thanks evh!

[timmac]

Could anyone out there with a completed version jump back on to reseed? I'm at 98.5% and will keep it up and running, if someone can help me out to finish.

thanks in advance!!!

[sooner5150]

there you go man, i fired it up for you!

[timmac]

Sooner, muchas gracias! I should be done in 2 minutes or so, I'll keep the torrent up here for anyone else.

Thanks again!!!

[Bart13550]

This is excellent...thanks so much for posting!!!

[mondola]

I didn't think the quality was all that bad.

Looks and sounds great, and like everyone says, Ed's tone is amazing on this one !

I've certainly seen worse bootlegs than this one !!!

The solo in Year To The Day is just spine tingling. Ed at his very best. He certainly was on fire. Just gutted (I know I always bring this up), but really gutted they cancelled the UK shows for this tour !!!

:mad:

[a_bell_2003]

dude this awesome finished downloadin thanks again

[monotonous15]

Why has it taken me over 3 weeks to try and get this? I'm only getting a 13kb connection on a broadband line. How can I get a faster download? Thanks! :thumb:

[hedonistbot]

i'm stuck at 86%. If anyone one could be cool enough to reopen for a little while, i'll be able to blow my brother's mind for christmas as he was somewhere up near the rafters at this show.
cheers

[mondola]

Was sure I posted this already :scratch: ah well !

:dunno:

I am reseeding now, but am getting crap upload speeds, but I think that this is because Azureus is forcing me to seed the new jar file for a while.

Hopefully it will pick up once it automatically removes it from the seeding area.

:thumb:

[khdutton]

Thanks Mondola!

[hedonistbot]

yeah, thanks man, it's trickling away now. you guys are all right!

[hedonistbot]

98% and nobody home... are you still out there mondola?

[westerhave]

i reseeded it right now, hope that this will help you out.

[hedonistbot]

home and hosed, thanks westerhave, enjoy the festive season!

[mondola]

Sorry man,

I had to take it up and down a few times whilst I wanted to use my P.C. to contact family in Australia.

Glad you got it in the end though ! :thumb:

A few people still needing this, so I'll leave it up !

[lukeman89]

someone open a window im not downloading right now!!

[nel5150]

Is it possible for someone to seed this? I'm a little over 1/2 done..


Thank you!

[hedonistbot]

[Hawkstar97]

I got mine back on for you also...

[nel5150]

I got mine back on for you also...

Thank you both!

[toodiesel]

hey all! please keep this up and seeded for a few more days? i have broadband, but am only getting about 8kbps most of the time, i can/will seed after completion
Thanks, great forum!

[Hawkstar97]

i got mine posted back up for you if it will connect--have had a few this week that do not seem to connect--I will keep it up--Hawk

[toodiesel]

thanks, i see that there are now 1 seeds, and 2 in swarm (not sure what that means), so the extra person must be you.
Thanks!! this board's really cool about putting back up relatively ancient torrents
D

[toodiesel]

hey all thanks for keeping this up, one question...
i'm getting like 1.5kbps every 10 minutes or so for about a minute at a time, so i'm downloading like 1 mb every hour, is anyone else having this issue? what could i do to fix this?, all my other torrents seemed to work fine, just this one is giving me trouble..

[Hawkstar97]

I turned mine back on but have some others running so it will be a bit slow -- but maybe it will help--Hawk

[toodiesel]

yeah, thanks so much, getting a little over 8kbps consistently now
you guys rule here

[toodiesel]

hey all don't mean to be a pain here, but am stuck at 67%, i was getting 20kbps for a while, but all the seeders turned off. i will seed this for a week no problem, i just need this to finish if anyone can turn theirs on for like 10 hours
thanks for your time

[Hawkstar97]

Hey Deisel---I was out of town yesterday---I got mine up and I figure that is you at 70%--will keep it up--Hawk

[toodiesel]

yeah, that's me, nice!! thanks! i will be seeding after i finish the download so i'll let you know when my download finishes so you can shut yours off
pace

[toodiesel]

ok, cool, got it, i'm gonna pause all my transfers while i burn, then put this back up in about an hour so other people can get it

[MrEd]

Thanks to everyone keeping this open...my old copy is hosed. Sorry I'm coming in late on the torrent but I appreciate the help!!

[toodiesel]

no problem, may go off for a half hour or so a few times a day, but i will keep this up consistently over the next week

[Doc]

I hear this is a good show.... Can't wait to see it!

[fatbloke]

Is there anyone out there who could reseed this? I know it's a long shot, but it's only a small file, and I've never seen any VH III live shows.
