JAM! videos

[briansmccabe]

Hey, Rory recently upped several of the JAM! videos from the Evening With tour. Any chance of all of them getting upped at some point soon?

Thanks Rory!

Are these VidoeCS files? If so, do i have to convert VCDs to mpegs using a program like TMPGEnc? Any help would be appreciated.

VideoCDs files

It started out as a VCD - that's what Rory ripped the files from - but the completed download appears to be too big to be burned back to a single disc.

The download should have a series of *.dat files - 14 total, to be exact. Each should be in the neighborhood of 50-60 mb in size. I used a nice little app called "VCDGear" to convert these dat files back to mpeg. Just google vcdgear and it'll come right up.

NOTE: I would strongly recomend not performing any other task on your machine while converting the dats to mpegs. It's weird because it's not like the vcdgear app is really taxing your system resources, but I've found that if I am doing other things while the VCDgear is running, my converted mpegs come out riddled with errors.

If enough people are interested, I can author a DVD of these files and torrent it (along with a bunch of other short TTH-related files that I have been meaning to DVD-ize and torrent).

that would be cool

I'll second that motion.

You can just rename the .DAT file to .mpg and it works. (Got the idea from renaming a .VOB file to .mpg.....works the same)

I just loaded the .DAT files into NeroVision, and made a DVD of them all.

That will enable them to play on a PC - both cases (renaming a dat to mpeg and renaming a vob to an mpeg). But *trust me* -- they're NOT the same thing. Go to rec.video.desktop for more info.

I'll take your word for it.....
