Rare Rammstein Videos, Bootlegs, TV Rips, and Personal Encodes
This page collects rare Rammstein video files from my archive, including TV broadcasts, VHS tape sources (bootlegs), DVB material, special edits, and personal encodes. I focus on older or harder to find material rather than official releases. You can buy those easily online. (Amazon Prime has two discs streaming btw.)
About these file formats
I started converting them for my device to read. I know you'd say, "why should I trust your video encoding?" Trust me, I unironically can understand about half of this page. Newer additions are listed toward the bottom of each section.

Live concert TV videos
1997.08.17 – Bizarre Festival, Germany [WDR]
Note: This is encoded very high end to stay close to the raw VOBs floating around online. I wanted minimal quality loss while shifting the file format. 10bit may have issues on phones without hardware support.

Interviews / Other
1994 Achtung wir kommen
Note: I edited this footage down myself. I included the Feeling B sections from F&S. The DAR is PAL's 576p, but I suggest using 16:9 in your media player. It looks like it was filmed anamorphic type. I did not correct it as this was a raw edit out of a VOB file.
