Hi,

I'll re-upload the material. I'll use a better file sharing host. I'm thinking of Uploading.com. It won't be megashare (smile).

Excellent post.;. this show is a "must have" on either video or audio. I read somewhere a couple of years ago that he peformed a couple of more songs than were broadcast, and in their typical fashion, the BEEB wiped the master tapes. boneheads LOL

This is an example on not to remaster the sound. The MKV file contains a lossy encoding (the AAC file), and there is no use to encode it as .wav of FLAC. This only serves to give the false impression that this was losslessly captured from the original source, which it isn't. Not to mention mp3, where you get another quality loss. Transcoding lossies is (virtually) always wrong.

You should use e.g. ffmpeg to demux out aac (without transcoding). You could very well encapsulate in an mp4 container (again, without transcoding). Syntax e.g.:
ffmpeg -i infile.mkv -ss 00:02:00 -t 00:03:00 -acodec copy -vn outfile_track2.m4a
will start at 2 minutes and copy the next 3 minutes; the "-acodec copy" will merely demux without transcoding; the -vn will make sure no video is in it; the outfile.m4a will make sure that the outfile is an mp4 container with the m4a suffix.

This assumes you do not want the video part. But why not? Rather than a big deceptive FLAC and a double-lossy MP3, this bootleg would be better off published as MKV (preferably with chapter marks!) and audio-only m4a.

(... actually, if this was from the BBC Four broadcast, it is a DVB channel, so that the broadcast audio stream was originally mp2. Already at the AAC level there is an additional lossless transcoding.)
