Olympic Gymnastics Gala


I'll let the commentator describe this broadcast:

"The Gala, just as in ice skating, has become the traditional finale to
all the major competitions, and none more so than the Olympic Games.
It's the perfect, perfect showcase for stars of the sport.

"Each star drawn from six gymnastics disciplines: artistic, trampoline,
rhythmic, aerobic, acrobatic and tumbling, and we're in for a real feast.

"And look out for a bit of fun as well. They always inject some enjoyment
into this, and sometimes some outrageous antics. I wonder what the
mood will be today?"

This event is spot-lit most of the time, with the audience sitting in the dark, and
therefore it compresses down very well. Even though I've encoded it at 10%
below the recommended video bit rate for TheBox caps (so it will fit onto a
CDR), the XviD stream still has an average P-VOP quantiser of just 3.5.
