I have to admit to being surprised about this one. But now that it's happening I'm psyched. My prediction though is straight forward. Bohemian Rhapsody. With Freddie vid end. I considered this and it's possible, however, the Oscars are about movies and acting and with Rami up for Best Actor, I can't see this happening. Think about it this way, if Anita Dobson was nominated for a BAFTA playing the role of, say, Margaret Thatcher and BAFTA spent much of the roles' feature time showing actual footage of MT. I don't think Brian or anyone else would think that appropriate. Agree. It may be something like the EMA's and Iheart. At Iheart Queen/Adam started with a little BR then flipped to other songs but in this case maybe a medley. I don't think they need to feature the entire BR just because that is the movie title. The movie is about Freddie but the performance is something different. They will be there to entertain with a great performance and showcasing what they are doing now. Rami's performance as Freddie will remain the center of attention for the movie.

While the posted download for the video files this audio was extracted from is corrupt, the FLAC audio file download posted above does not appear to be corrupt. I did not test the other formats. She likely had access to an uncorrupted version of the video.
In this case, the FLAC audio would be the best sounding audio. The video is recorded in TS format, likely directly from a TV broadcast stream, and the embedded audio is in the Dolby AC3 surround sound format. The best sounding audio would be to extract the AC3 audio as an AC3 file and play it on a Dolby system such as a home theater system. (Some mobile devices will also play Dolby AC3 audio.) The next best is to convert the AC3 audio to FLAC, WAV, or AIFF which will all capture the AC3 audio in the original quality minus the Dolby surround sound effects. Converting this audio to M4A/AAC or MP3 will result in a degradation of the audio quality.
That being said, for a YouTube video the embedded audio is in AAC format and a conversion to FLAC will produce the exact same audio quality as the extracted AAC/M4A audio. However, converting the AAC audio to MP3 will result in a degradation of the audio quality. Also, the best YouTube audio is generally in 128 kbps AAC. I've seen some people convert this to 320 kbps AAC which will not improve the audio quality and might actually degrade the quality as the audio has to be resampled and interpolated.
The bottom line is, you cannot get better quality audio than what is in the original audio source no matter what conversions one does. You can only get the same quality, or worse quality.
She got the audio from Jason's TS file which Devenlane has on her site as well. I've DLd the three formats...haven't had time to listen to them yet.

After everything that Adam has gone thru; the snubs, being overlooked by the industry I am hoping he gets everything he deserves. He is getting more visibility, more recognition and, it seem, a happy relationship. I hope the road keeps rising to the sky for him. He deserves it. And, he is doing it HIS way. Also, he bought the dream house in which he will be hopefully moving soon. 👍

What a day of happy feelings!!! Adam's time in Cabo, a "new" love may be(?), his "Blue Suede Shoes" Elvis tribute highlighted by "ankle porn" that no shirtless act could measure up to haha, and....drum roll... QUEEN AND ADAM AT THE OSCARS!!! I predict a medley with BR to be the highlight, and I am curious how they will work it out. Various aspects probably need to be acknowledged... Freddie's legacy as highlighted in the BR movie, Rami who so splendidly took on his character, and iconic Queen music!!!! And selfishly, I really want Adam to shine!!

The 'Mama' opening was amazing and if done at the Oscars would be a circle on circle moment for Adam, however, I am just completely enamored of the Oscars opening with a quote highlighting the film industry's dedication to both fantasy and real life. Movies draw us into stories, both true and invented, that confound and inspire. But they also often provide us with a much needed "escape from reality".

I downloaded the video from Devenlane's link also, and same problem, the video hangs up at 0:45 when playing in VLC Media Player. But, the video plays just fine in Windows Media Player.
Has anyone tried playing the video in a different media player?

YAY!!! So many good things happening! I have been hope, hope, hoping that QAL might perform. There has been so much uncertainty with the Oscars planning and the fact that there is no host kept me hoping that they might open the show with a bang featuring QAL. It just made sense to me! And welcome scotglambert I love it when lurkers come out to play! Will you tell us your finding Adam story please?
