Answers:


Sounds bloody good!
Which is slightly surprising, because when I heard that this was being released I presumed we'd be getting a "bare bones" disc with not a lot on it.
How wrong I was...

Answers:


nice lookin' set there! A must purchase methinks.
Don't think I'll bother with the later stuff - this stuff's classic though.

Answers:


Ve meet at laaast.
About time this was given the treatment it deserved.

Answers:


Awesome!!
My favourite band gets a great DVD release finally. :rocker: :thumbs:

Answers:


Their early videos were 4x3? :confused:

Answers:


I thought nearly all their videos were 4:3 ...
so panned & scanned 16:9 would be a bit crap...
The Bohemiam Rhapsody section with the four heads for instance will look bloody awful if cropped to 16:9 (on the vid they are presented in a square)
I hope they haven't buggered them about too much

Answers:


Wow, commentaries on a music video :clap:.
As the others have said though... "pan & scanned for 16:9" :shocker:
P.S. You can also get a DVD-A of A Night At The Opera, complete with track formats in DVD-A, DTS 5.1, and 96/24 PCM, plus a video of Bohemian Rhapsody in 5.1. Works in ordinary DVD players (in DTS or PCM). Got it for about £15 I think through PlayCentric.com (via. www.*********************).

Answers:


I wonder what it will sound like in dts/dd

Answers:


DTS? Cool... Where did you see that it will have a DTS track, LHG? The Queen site only states a "5.1" track and PCM.

Answers:


I saw the DTS mentioned at the Queenonline shop, which clearly states it. The remixes have very likely also been done by Brian May himself, since he's very much into surround sound, and did the Night At The Opera DVD-A.
I am also very confused about the "pan and scanned for 16:9" statement. Many Queen videos were filmed in 4:3 fullscreen (in fact the only one I can think of that might not have been is Radio Ga Ga).
This isn't the only great official Queen DVD. Region 1 has a DTS version of the We Will Rock You Montreal '82 concert, in anamorphic widescreen with commentary by the concert director. Pretty great.
