VIDEO PRESS KIT SAILING TO PHILADELPHIA
Additional comments:
A very nice home-made Super Video-CD (SVCD), taken from the VHS Video Press Kit for Sailing to
Philadelphia. This version includes Portuguese/Spanish (?) subtitles. This Mark Knopfler special was made as a promotion for the album and was
broadcasted on various TV-channels. It's the complete video, lasting about 30 minutes.
Great picture and sound quality! Really nice to hear Mark talking about his whole
life from being a young kid at school, the neighbourhood he grew up in, to becoming a
world rock star. Please be aware that you need special software to watch this
Super Video-CD (which is a different format than the normal Video-CD). Some
DVD-players are able to play SVCD's, but not all of them, so I can not guarantee
that this SVCD works on your DVD player. On request, I can also provide the
normal VCD (without subtitles) which has less good image quality than this SVCD, but is still very
good. Available on one CD-R.
Video-CD's can be played on DVD players or normal CD-ROM players. This SVCD needs special software to watch on your PC. I can play this Super Video-CD on my external Sony DVD player (DVP-NS705V) without any problem. Note however that some DVD players have problems with Video-CD's / Super Video CD's. So I can only guarantee that they work on your PC CD-ROM drive!
