| The INHD2 channel on Comcast HD is showing a Pixies concert tonight at 9:00. Well, in Atlanta anyway, not sure about the entire U.S. Sorry if this has already been posted, I haven't read the forum in a while. |

I don't tend to read any other forum. Havin said that, what is INHD2 & Comcast HD? I really think we are missing out on something here in Europe.

| Comcast is one of the cable companies here in the states. INHD2 is just one of the high definition channels they offer. Should be cool watching a Pixies show in high def. |

| The show was pretty good. Not their best performance, but still good of course. It never said where it was filmed. |

It was the second show at Lowell last year (Dec 2). Someone has captured the show and posted it (the whole 8GB) to the alt.binaries.hdtv newsgroup.
This is the same show used for some of the bonus tracks on the Sell Out DVD.
It's easy to tell the two Lowell nights apart - Frank is wearing a t-shirt on the DVD and TV broadcast, and a shirt in this photo taken on the 1st night:

do you have a link to that download, or know where that newsgroup is available? I can't find it on my usual news server.
Thanks for any help

There is no "link" as such - it's just been posted to the alt.binaries.hdtv newsgroup. Not all news servers carry all the binary groups - obviously your usual server doesn't.
I'm not sure what to suggest. Personally, I pay for a giganews account. There are various commercial news server providers - you could subscribe for a short period to just download this file if you wanted to.
The link at newsbin is the following:
http://www.newzbin.com/browse/post/1487135/
(but that probably doesn't give you any useful information if you don't have a newsbin account as well).

Hope you enjoy it - and please continue sharing it after your download has finished. I can't keep seeding it myself forever.
And no, I'm not from Holland. Odd question.... :) |

Another thanks to you davechapman. I downloaded some of your uploads from dimeadozen and now I am getting this. I know that you dont give technical comments about conversions and so. Can you just tell wich program have you use in order to put the transport files into mpgs/vob files(if you have done). Time ago I converted a couple of transport files I downloaded without problems but I also have found problems with two files that no program seems to like them. Well, anyway, THANKSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiN.

I've been uploading at a constant 45KB/s for the last 42 hours - so I'm not sure why you think there are no seeders.
But the tracker does seem to be unreliable (I get lots of timeout errors when trying to connect). But don't worry, I'll keep my window open until I see some other seeders there. We'll get there eventually. |

If you want some Linux tools to do the job, then I can help. Otherwise, you will have to use google.
This page seems to have some HDTV related tools which could be a starting point.

Dont worry about the tracker dont show any seeder. Many times when there are only one seed it doesnt appears but if you look the percent of the distributed copies you will find that it goes bigger. The last time I check it, it changes from 0.546 to 0.584 in 40 minutes aprox.

so maybe it's a problem of the tracker, because I just checked the download page again, and it says 0 seeders and 13 leechers...but I'm glad you reassured of all us that you're still there  |

Thanks for the info. Have you tried that program? How well does it work?
The torrent contains the large (about 7GB) .ts file split up into 100MB chunks (that's how it was posted to usenet). This page about HDTV2DVD gives instructions on joining those files together:

ok i've done some reading and it looks like that program will change it into standard resolution, is that right?
is someone going to convert this to a standard dvd? if so, having someone torrent that would probably save a lot of people the trouble of doing the same thing!
i would appreciate it, in particular! ;)

If you have the bandwidth and the patience, then I would recommend downloading this and archiving it. I'm sure you will get a HDTV at some point in the future.
You should be able to watch this on your PC (I use mplayer from http://www.mplayerhq.hu but I am guessing that vlc from www.videolan.org/vlc will also play it - both are free and available in Windows, Mac and Linux versions).
As for conversion to DVD, hopefully someone will do that, and post the link here if they do. But I have no time to. |

What program did you use? The conversion has the same bitrates?

Is that freeze on the original?
And how have you done a 5.1 mix? The original broadcast already had a 5.1 mix... |

With HDTVtoMPEG2 you can join files because HDTV2DVD only processes one file.
The result is:
Vídeo : 7800 Kbps, 29.970 fps, 720*480 (2.21:1), MPG2 = MPEG 2 (SVCD/DVD)
Audio : 384 Kbps, 48000 Hz, 5 channels, 0x2000 = AC3 DVM
So I think the 5.1 is already in the original files and the conversion dont touch it.
TMPGENCDVD dont like the size of mpeg files, and a conversion of 8Gb....
Have anyone get a higher resolution in vobs or in mpegs that TMPGENCDVD accept?

so, if I had a HD Tv set and a pc capable of sending this HD stream to the tv, how would I join these HD files in order to reproduce the show as it was originally broadcast? I mean without converting it to mpeg2.
Thanks if you can help  |

With hdtvtompeg2 you can convert it, but you can also put all the files in a ts. I did it because hdtv2 only accepts 1 file.
Tell me something if you make any other conversions.
