Queen - A Night At The Opera (5.1 Surround) - Complete Album

Re-rendered and optimized for high-definition (from interlaced to progressive), and subsequently re-optimized for video streaming.

This is the complete album with videos compiled by Simon Lupton and Rhys Thomas for the album's 30th anniversary in 2005, with promo videos for You're My Best Friend and Bohemian Rhapsody, and custom videos for the remaining ten songs.

Interlaced videos on my channel are de-interlaced and upscaled with the software Handbrake. DVD and Blu-ray files start off as mkv, via the MakeMKV software, television captures start off as mts and are captured onto a USB flash drive through an Ematic DVR converter box. In the "Save As" portion, the file type may be changed from m4v to mp4 for post-production (if your editing software can handle m4v, or if you're uploading straight to YouTube, you can leave it alone). There, you can select "Browse" and determine where the finished product will go. If the video has some edge-matting, it'll be cropped out automatically, otherwise, it can be cropped manually by selecting "custom" on the orientation and cropping tool, then cropped in increments of two with the up and down arrows. You may select "preview" on the top of the software to help with this. In resolution and scaling, anamorphic is left on automatic, "allow upscaling" selected (1080 by default), "optimal size" de-selected, and left and right dimensions can be adjusted according to whatever aspect ratio the video will be in. 1440x1080 4:3, 1920x1080 16:9. If any cropping was done, the software will automatically scale the dimensions to match. Decomb de-interlacing filter and Bob preset are used to separate the two fields in a frame and double the frame count. Yadif/Bob can also be used. Frame rate (set to constant) is double of whatever the video started off as, according to the picture format used. PAL 25 FPS becomes 50, NTSC 29.97 FPS into 59.94. Average bitrate set to 40,000 Kbps for 4:3 video, 45,000 Kbps for 16:9 (with two-pass encoding and turbo fast-pass disabled). If you don't have a good computer, or have limited storage space, the bitrate may be lowered to something more manageable, as low as around 20,000 Kbps for 1080p video. Encoder level set to 4.1. The audio settings are the most variable part, with several bitrates and codecs to choose from in mono, stereo, and surround, as well as in different languages. For this, you can open the drop-down window on the sound options to see what's included, choose one, and copy the information over in the next few drop-downs, remembering that DVD and Blu-ray audio have a sample rate of 48 kHz. You may downsample as needed. Sometimes in the "codec" window, it'll allow you to select "(x) Passthru" which will transfer the audio automatically if you're lazy. You may also decrease the gain if you feel it's too loud, or increase it if it's not loud enough. More than likely, you'll be sending the media through post-production, where you can adjust the gain with greater precision, so this can be left alone. If you want more audio options to be added, open the "Tracks" window, select "add new track", and adjust the new track to taste.

And for those wondering, I have the original DTS 96/24 5.1 audio in my possession as a .flac file, but I don't think YouTube would like it if I made it available to the public, especially now since they're on my tail after a past video I made in 2016 (relatively minor, and hardly relevant) offended them enough for them to delete it outright, claiming it was "to make our community safer", as if the video was child pornography or something outrageous. First off, I deleted the message off my email inbox because I don't like to have it flooded with spam, and second, it was only a mere warning I received, not a full scale strike. Even so, I'm certainly on their radar now, and I don't really want to risk getting terminated or something drastic for posting the link to a full album for free. If YouTube got offended by a harmless video I made, do you really think they're going to let me post full albums free to download with no ads? If you really want the 96/24 audio, your best bet is to either go on some Queen forums to see if someone else posted it, or be like me and go through the trouble of figuring out how to extract such precious audio from DVD video.

It's 1978 and I've finally mastered the turntable as a 2nd grader and what album lives on the family turn table? This album. It set up a music standard in my head that every musician has had to live up to for the rest of my life.

The world just lost one of Queen's biggest fans on August 9th 2024. He was my Best Friend and the Love Of My Life. Rest in peace Jeff Roe and rock out with Freddie. 💔

I first listen to this album on my cassette tape... But now I see it in the video... Nice view and sounds good.... I like it... Thanks to the uploader.

[ingognito]

Great footage, I saw them in Philly at spectrum/tower in 75/ 76, they played Ogre battle near end, which they hadnt played in long time as I recall, I was estatic cuz at time it was my favorite Queen song..i had been in phillycfrom 75 to 81 so i saw just about every concert in area from almost every band from back then. S o my memory a little hazy, like falling asleep for Tull do to a 714 before show

[Will-dnb]

[ianyule]

Hey, great job on this, I really enjoyed it....shame it isn't really 5.1 tho....

[TheVeryBlondeOne]

Indeed it is true surround. Got it working on a smart-TV. Is this the 2001 Elliot Scheiner mix or the more common Brian May mix?

[BennieTarrMusic]

I heard a rumour that this is a very good song.

[silvioponzio]

Sorry dude, but theres adds every song and halfway through some of them, making this unbearable 😓

[perroloco]

Bad mix. Ruins the original but the quality is really high
