It's better if you ask @TheBang these questions. I know nothing about video codecs or what is good. Both of them are perfectly fine. But with the .mkv file you can't add it into iTunes because iTunes does not accept .mkv files. MP4 is native to iTunes so people can specifically add them to their iTunes in order to play them on tablets/phones/ipods etc etc.
Makes sense?
Thank you again to all involved in bringing us these shows.
Any way to tell by the files if we grabbed it before or after the new version?
Was the video affected as well?
Thanks for all your efforts on this. I was at the show and couldn't really see anything for the first 30-40 min because of the location I was at.. so this is pretty awesome.
I thought he meant that if I converted the MKV to MP4 I wouldn't have chapters, & that the MP4 from RITC does have them.
(& @ninjaw I realize English is probably not your primary language, so don't take any of this as criticism)
Oddly I downloaded the MP4 file and there's a codec issue on my Samsung Smart TV, so won't play from memory stick. Converted to burn to DVD last night, came out a little stuttery. Does anyone have a Blu Ray iso file that they could torrent if they've already burnt to Blu Ray, so that I can download and take to my local computer store for them to burn (I don't have a Blu Ray burner). Quite happy watching the YouTube stream for now, but would prefer in the long term to have on a Blu Ray as my PC/laptop are occasionally a bit laggy.
Many thanks for all your efforts on this everyone. Awesome project - (the whole thing, not just Lollapalooza).
God, physical disk are so outdated... what kind of bluray player you own who cannot read simple files ? I myself own the marvelous DUNE HD who can read bluray iso on internal HDD, but i also own the famous french freebox and his FREE file/bluray/terabit network reader ?
I actually just found out how to add chapters to MP4, so I'll do that tonight (baby's mood permitting), and reupload it to Ryan, so he can post it to RITC.
Actually, I think ninjaw was suggesting putting the file onto a DVD-ROM disc, and seeing if your player can read the file that way.
[pedantic_nazi]Actually, shouldn't that be "[technological_nazi]"?[/pedantic_nazi]
I just double checked and there are no chapters on my mp4 (which kinda sucks since I watch it on my PS3 since that's what's hooked up to my good tv/speakers and it doesn't read mkv without having to do conversions which would probably lose the chapters anyway.... oh well, nothing anyone can do about that - except Sony I guess, but they're probably not reading this thread).
As a side note, I also learned from skimming through the file that Piggy on x1.5 speed is really damn funky.
That's the main reason I bought that TV and I looove it. Have a 2TB hard drive hooked up via USB so I just transfer over my files and voila.
Definitely appreciate all the hard work going into getting high quality rips guys! Hopefully I'll be able to contribute at some point.
Even though I'm almost 30, I'm new to downloading MP4 and burning it to DVD. I am downloading the Chicago 2013 NIN concert to a zip drive, is there anyway to take it from the Zip Drive and burn it straight to a DVD on my computer (Dell Inspiron). Thanks in advance!
very funny, but I don't need gif's or un-necessary replies. I'm just simply trying to figure out how to get the downloaded material to a DVD. Thanks.
It may not be the best, but I use this one whenever I'm burning a DVD off of a movie file and it worked well so far. Haven't testet it with a BluRay yet.

This is so damn cool, thank you @RITCNIN for doing this!
