Videos using MTV.com's official version (director's cut)
Note: MTV.com uploaded a 720p HD of the director's cut of the EMAs. The quality isn't as high-resolution as the tudou 1080i source but the video angles are more interesting. The 1080i cap by mmyy9 below is the same director's cut, however it has MTV logo watermarks and burned subtitles. The 720p and iPhone-compatible versions here are comparable quality-wise with tudou's. As the original audio quality was only 96Kbps, the audio has been replaced with the improved audio by Terra.

Videos using mmyy's Japanese cap (director's cut)
Note: This is the director's cut of the performance recorded by mmyy9 in Japan, similar to the MTV.com version above. The video quality here again isn't as good as the tudou source and there are a few burned subtitles. Download this version only if you want the 1080i cap that wasn't provided by MTV.com. As the original audio quality was only 144Kbps, the audio has been replaced with the improved audio by Terra.
