Pink Floyd - The Reunion Concert
Live From Hyde Park, London, July 2, 2005

In commemoration of the historic event of Pink Floyd reuniting at the Live 8 concert, I've taken it upon myself to create a special DVD of the event using Final Cut Pro 5, DVD Studio Pro 4 and Adobe Photoshop CS. I am a huge Pink Floyd fan, and this DVD was created as an exercise to practice my DVD authoring and design skills. This DVD is not available for sale, and was made available through limited trading with other members of the Pink Floyd community. I strongly urge anyone interested in seeing the concert to purchase the official Live 8 DVD upon its release.

A little background on the DVD... I downloaded a 711 MB PAL MPEG-2 file that was offered up on the internet following the concert and was blown away by the video quality, not to mention the fact that it was in widescreen and didn't have those dopey MTV interruptions. I converted that video into an uncompressed PAL 4:2:2 video file using a freeware Mac program called MPEG Streamclip. Then, using the Nattress.com FCP Standards Conversion filter, I converted the video to NTSC and then recompressed it to NTSC MPEG-2 using discreet cleaner 6. (Apple's Compressor was giving me all kinds of trouble with video glitches.) Then I created some motion menus in FCP and slideshows in Photoshop, and the DVD was born.
