Eric Clapton: Budokan Hall 2001 (04 DEC 2001) BIV Edition
==========================================
![Image]()
Eric Clapton
Budokan Hall
Tokyo, Japan
04 DEC 2001
SOURCE: pro-shot satellite broadcast > 2xDVD. NTSC DVD MPEG-2 at 720x480i resolution @ 29.970 fps and an average bitrate of 7,827 kb/s. The source audio was a PCM 16/44 2.0 stream.
BACKGROUND: I had a corresponding SBD audio in lossless FLAC and considered remastering the FLAC files and syncing them to the video. Unfortunately, on frequency analysis, a sharp frequency drop-off was seen at around 15kHz suggesting that these files were not truly lossless. This was not the case with the PCM stream extracted from the video. For this reason, I decided to perform a global remaster of the included PCM stream rather than the FLAC files.
LINEUP:

20. Somewhere Over The Rainbow

VIDEO PROCESSING: The video streams from the two DVDs were extracted and appended. This joined stream then underwent BWDIF 1x de-interlacing with PAR conversion to 1:1. Proper upscale to 1080p, with noise reduction, compression artifact removal, de-blurring and grain addition. All intermediate video processing was done in lossless (FFV1, 10-bit) format. Final conversion to 10-bit H.275/MKV, with appropriate cropping. Metadata entered and chapter points edited. Poster art generated.
AUDIO PROCESSING: The full audio stream was extracted from the conjoined DVD1/DVD2 file. This underwent DC offset correction, phase correction, azimuth correction and initial gain setting before proceeding with remastering. The remastering processing chain consisted of Fabfilter Pro-Q4 > Fabfilter Pro-MB > Ozone Imager > Izotope Aurora > UAD Ampex ATR-102 Master Tape > UAD SSL G Bus Compressor > Fabilter Pro-L2.
The audio streams were re-muxed in the following order:
1.) FLAC 2.0 BIV remastered audio (default)
2.) Opus 192kbps 2.0 BIV remastered audio
3.) FLAC 2.0 original source audio
NOTES: This is a significant upgrade, both visually and aurally. This fantastic performance features two versions of Layla, acoustic and electric.
Never buy or sell!

Enjoy!
