Total Time : [31:23]

The following factors (in order of priority) affected the decisions concerning which audio and video sources were used for each segment:

1. Completeness

2. Best video quality (usually, highest bitrate) - ie in order of highest quality to lowest: BBC1 & BBC2 (4.81Mbps), BBC3 (4.16ish), BBCi (3.50 - 3.96)

3. Secondary factor in questions of video quality is the problem of the garish BBC3 logo. Other sources are logo-free.

4. Additional factor for video quality is the presence of on-screen banners - i.e. strobe warnings, upcoming programming, sometimes errors in song titles (all to be avoided). On this occasion, it was possible to choose video content so as to eliminate a strong language warning at the very start of the performance.

5. Best audio quality (usually, highest bitrate) - ie in order of highest quality to lowest: BBC1 & BBC2 & BBC3 (256kbps), BBCi (128)

Under normal circumstances these factors make decision-making reasonably straightforward, but on this occasion there was a major complication:

The "best" quality broadcast of You Know I'm No Good and Rehab should have been the Sunday evening BBC3 broadcast, which was carried simultaneously (at a lower bitrate) on BBCi. Unfortunately the 256k BBC3 audio was very degraded (muffled, essentially) - although the simultaneous 128kbps BBCi audio sounded OK. (Despite which, there was no audio problem with the preceding broadcast of Tears Dry on Their Own).

Having made the decision to use the 128kbps stream audio, and even though it would have been just as easy to use the 4.16 Mbps BBC3 video, I decided to use the corresponding BBCi video, since it was at an acceptable bitrate (compared to usual BBCi video bitrates) - 3.50Mbps, partly out of a concern that there might also have been video degradation in the BBC3 broadcast. Making this decision (to use logo-free streams for 2 of the 3 BBC3 tracks) made it easier to replace the video (but not audio) of the remaining BBC3-only track with its BBCi equivalent. Therefore ALL video is logo-free (the price paid is a slightly lower video bitrate for those 3 songs - 3.50Mbps versus 4.16 for the BBC3 broadcast), but the best audio is used throughout.

Songs marked @ have 256kbps audio, otherwise audio is 128kbps.

1. Arrival @ (used BBC2 highlights broadcast 2008-08-01. BBC3/BBCi version (broadcast 2008-07-13) was a little shorter, but has one different video angle)

2. intro (BBCi 3.64MBps source (broadcast 2008-07-13) for Zalon's introduction - avoids strong language warning in other sources)

3. Addicted (BBCi higher bitrate 3.96Mbps version (broadcast 2008-07-13))

4. Just Friends (BBCi higher bitrate 3.96Mbps version, with a tiny patch from 3.60Mbps version (both broadcast 2008-07-13), to replace a video flaw (during song title caption) - this patch chosen because the I-frames match exactly in these two sources)

5. Tears Dry On Their Own @ (BBC3 broadcast 2008-07-13. Used matching BBCi video with BBC3 audio)

6. Cupid (not broadcast)

7. Back To Black @ (first few frames from highest bitrate BBCi stream (broadcast 2008-07-13), then BBC1 version (broadcast 2008-07-13) - audio delayed by 2 frames)

8. Wake Up Alone (not broadcast)

9. Some Unholy War (not broadcast)

10. Love Is A Losing Game (only shown on BBCi (broadcast 2008-07-13) - used highest bitrate available)

11. Hey Little Rich Girl (not broadcast)

12. You're Wondering Now (only shown on BBCi (broadcast 2008-07-13) - used highest bitrate available)

13. You Know I'm No Good (BBC3/BBCi broadcast 2008-07-13 - audio flaws in the BBC3 broadcast led to the BBCi source being used for video and audio)

14. Rehab (BBC3/BBCi broadcast 2008-07-13 - audio flaws in the BBC3 broadcast led to the BBCi source being used for video and audio)

15. Me And Mr. Jones (not broadcast)

16. Valerie @ (BBC2 broadcast 2008-07-18, audio losslessly increased by 4db using mp2Gain)

1. Back To Back

Total Time : [4:08]

Back To Black was also broadcast earlier in the day on T4; that broadcast has the following differences:

* T4 logo

* 30 second montage of festival scenes in the middle

* Sometimes scrolling banner with info

* Programme credits at the end

* Cut short (2:42)

* Some different video edits, mainly more close-ups of Amy

All of these differences are essentially downgrades, except the last item,

which makes for a marginally different viewing experience.
