John Carpenter – Live Retrospective 2016 (Blu-ray Disc, 2018) WAV & MP3

John Carpenter – Live Retrospective 2016 (2018)

Source: BD rip video file with untouched DD2.0 audio (unfortunately, the only audio track on the BD).

BD > MKV > WAV > Audacity > -1.0db/tracks split > WAV (>MP3)

Audio tracks are split at the exact moment of the chapter breaks in the BD. Sometimes I would have preferred slightly nicer track breaks, but I’m also a purist.

800×800 cover art is expanded from the official BD artwork and sourced from the highest resolution I could find.

Will leave it up for at least a week. If the link is dead, drop me a PM.

Thanks

Nice! Thanks a lot for this one. I saw him live and this is perfect for reliving the memory

No problem guys!

Unfortunately, I’ve got the audio from the PAL (1080p25) BD rip, but, while I have the NTSC version myself, I can’t check the frame rate, nor rip the audio from it.

That said, the files are clearly labelled as such, so everyone should know the source and workflow to them.

Thanks 🙂

Thank you very much for your effort!

Wow! Thank you! I love me some John Carpenter!

I didn�t know BluRays are different in PAL and NTSC. I thought theyb were the same speed/transfer.
I know that VHS and DVD had more frames but thought BD was the same

Usually, you would be correct – most are. Films are usually shot 24fps so the resulting BD is 1080p24 (ie, 1920 x 1080 at 24 frames per second).

This one is unusual and was released in both PAL and NTSC. Given I cannot play my BD (NTSC) back on a computer, I’m unsure of the framerate of it, but the MKV I sourced online was 25 FPS, so I assume it is from the PAL release (1080p25).

Given the concerts were shot in Los Angeles and London, I don’t know the original footage specs (they might have hired a local UK crew who shot in 25fps?) nor the workflow of the edit either.

Unfortunately, this means I cannot vouch for which is the "correct" format – in as much as the audio hasn’t been sped up or slowed down.

Nor do I have the ears to tell the difference, be it through 4% speed up to PAL, or if it has been sped up and pitch shifted to compensate (like Jurassic Park on PAL VHS, way back in the day!).

Technically, it might actually be a 1080i50 transfer, as some BD players have issues with 1080p30 (Nine Inch Nails’ Beside You In Time comes to mind, and was flagged at 1080i60 (NTSC) although the image was actually 1080p30).

Maybe I’ve been some help with this comment, or maybe I’ve just caused more confusion. Either way, at least you know the source and workflow of it! Should I ever track down a copy of the NTSC release, I’m happy to do the exact same workflow again.
