I have finished the DVD. I used keepvid for grabbing, videopad for editing, and an old version of Nero express for authoring the DVD. It is a little rough at the edges (particulary transitions between songs). It gets better in the second half, probably because there are more camera angles to choose from and I also got more familiar with the video editing software. I worked quite quickly with it as editing is pretty time intensive but I am happy with the results.

The video footage here has all been grabbed from youtube at the highest quality settings. The footage varies a little but much of it is excellent. Credit and thanks go to the people who filmed and kindly shared this. All the audio is from the recording I made apart from a few seconds of crowd noise right at the start that came from a video soundtrack.

On 'With Love' the last few seconds are out of sync because the video had ended before the song. I didn't want to cut the song short so I 'xenochronously' pasted an earlier bit on the end as there was only one video of this song.

The sound on the DVD is a little odd only in that the menu audio is louder than than the main programme. The remedy for this is to turn the sound up on the TV (remember to turn it down again before you put Corry on though!). The DVD is split into 3 titles - Parts 1 & 2 and Photos and Credits.

Two of the songs performed (Great Expectations and Loneliness.. ) did not (at the time) have video on youtube so I have put them at the end of the DVD with a slide show of some of the photos posted on here and credits.

How to get this DVD - I have made 5 copies (2 have already been claimed) and I will send the remaining 3 to the first 3 people to PM me with their address on the agreement that they will post an offer on this thread to make and send another copy to someone else who also agrees to... and so on.

If anyone wants to seed it on a torrent tracker like dimeadozen then be my guest - I don't have the bandwidth for that at the mo. I may get around to putting it on youtube as a whole (particularly to give those who provided footage chance to see it), but again if anyone else wants to do this then go for it.

With love
Kieran

Big labour of love there, Kieran - very much appreciated.

I'm one of the two so far who's asked for a disc, so if you're too late for one of the remaining 3, PM me for early dibs.

Ditto mrswoman, I have the other of the (so-far) claimed discs, you can pm me too if you want a copy. (Makes it sound like we're running for election!)

Very much looking forward to seeing it....

I now have this disc, and I have to say it's absolutely brilliant. Haven't had a chance to watch it all the way through yet, but it's a fantastic souvenir of a wonderful evening.

Happy to do copies for anyone that drops me a pm - will do outside the UK too.

Many, many thanks Kieran!!

Thanks so much Kieran - you really are a star. Would anyone out there in Elbow land like me to send them a copy of this - PM me if you're interested.

Just received mine!
Excellent Quality!! Thanks Kieran (and Ticky).
Now, who wants one?

Kind regards from Paris!

Atane.

I am glad you like it Atane.

BTW the whole thing is on You tube now http://www.youtube.com/my_playlists?p=9A09B73AB453D4CD

I would like to have 1, but I'm in Belgium. Hope this is no problem. Thans a lot Dirk

is anyone still open to sending a DVD? it would be greatly appreciated

I'd love a copy of the dvd too, I already have the audio on 2 cd's off Dime, Amazing gig from the band that night.

I would gladly send the recent sky atlantic special to anyone who can send me the Manchester dvd please!!!!

Kieran - I'd seen the DVD ages ago, thanks to one of the forum angels ( ) but never posted to say how awesome it was! I enjoyed it so much and can't thank you enough for putting in the effort - it is brilliant! Sorry it took so long to say so, but you made me very happy and gave me a wonderful keepsake from that night. *appreciation*

If anyone can do me 2 copies from the night, I'd appreciate it - my mates 40th on the very night - be a great keepsake.

Please PM me if anyone can, would be happy to pay for it, naturally.

I've now done half a dozen or so copies of this for board members, so time for me to step down my DVD burner and let the recipients now make copies for others in the "tree" as per Kieran's original post.
