Total Time : [35:18]
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). *** The 2009 rebroadcasts eliminate this
problem, by providing both video and audio upgrades for the problematic
sections ***
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. *** The 2009 rebroadcasts
eliminate this problem, by providing both video and audio upgrades for the
problematic sections ***
Songs marked @ have 128kbps audio, otherwise audio is 256kbps.
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 (BBC2
broadcast 2009-06-05)
6. Cupid (BBC2 broadcast
2009-05-29)
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)

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.
