ALL R.E.M. DVDA EXTRAS
Fun with technicals, if you're so inclined:
- I had no idea of what parameters to use and consulted a "scene" instruction file.
- Encoded with Handbrake directly from DVD streams to MP4
- Video: from MPEG-II to H-264/AVC (3.1, main profile, slow), same-as-original scale size and AR, 720 kbps avg bitrate (2-pass), variable frame rate.
- Audio: considering AC3 is already lossy, I used passthru to preserve the original DVD stream (48Hz stereo 224kbps, all or most). So what you have here is the original audio straight from the DVD. If you make any FLACs from them, they'll be fake FLACs, since AC3 is lossy.
- Around The Sun and Monster seem to have something weird going on on the original DVDAs. They crashed and/or ran out of sync constantly. The videos here are all ok, tho. Go figure. Maybe it's my codec.
Feel free to post the videos on YouTube (please credit me if you do

Monster:
- Rough Cut promo documentary: on the DVDA, you can only find 8min50s of the original doc Rough Cut, not the whole thing. It's the part with "I Don't Sleep I Dream", when Michael has a guitar. Rough Cut has never been properly released. Some sources mention it as a bonus of In View (the video companion for the compilation In Time), but it looks like only some bits can be found within the "interviews" part of the disc, never the whole thing. The doc can be found on YouTube, as I posted before:

- Three songs from Road Movie: these don't seem to be included in the DVDA, or at least they're nowhere in the VIDEO_TS folder or in any menus. Anyway, here's Road Movie:
