Information about the footage
Previews are the video clips of all the songs of each year. Previews are NOT the show itself.
These clips are given to the delegations before the contest, which are shared with the broadcasting stations, to make up their mind.
All the years listed above are now on DVD. The quality is good up to superior, depending on the source. In most cases, the footage is directly copied from studio-DV-tapes or similar material. Therefore, the quality is nearly lossles to its original recording. The sound is stereo / surround from 1986 to 2005. Picture is color since 1969 and black / white before that. The commentary is almost always none. The footage is digitized to DigitalVideo format, and encoded to MPEG2 with the following parameters:
- Picture: MPEG2 / MPEG4 H264, bitrate min. 2, max 25Mbit/sec, avg. 10 Mbit/s.
- Sound: Dolby Digital 2.0 / 5.1, 384-640 kBit/s, stereo / Dolby Digital.
- All audio tracks are perfectly SYNCHRONOUS to the picture in every edition / any year!
ESCs with a running time up to 2 hours, 1 DVD is used. ESCs with a running time above 2 hours will use 2 DVDs.
