I don't remember exactly if I already mentioned these, but here goes:
- Godsmack - Changes
- Iron Maiden - Rock In Rio
Both already on excellent DVDs with multiple sound-options and features,
that would translate excellent, and probably better, to BD too.
They both already look quite colorful and everything.
But seeing them a couple of years later, like 'Changes' yesterday, they look pretty messy in ways.
Like the Godsmack-title, according to the box it's shot in HD,
that's good but the DVDs video looks pretty blurry and quite light.
I think they had to sacrifice some quality to get space.
As it's a documentary/concert, with the use of some type of branching,
as there are different mixes of concert alone and some mixed with documentary.
Besides that it holds FOUR audio-tracks too:
One being PCM 2.0, one DD5.1 with Circle Surround, one plain DD5.1 (I guess) and also a DTS5.1-track.
So, there's quite a lot on there even though it's "just" the film/concert and a photo-gallery.
It's a lot to handle for a DVD as you know.
I really hope they'll transfer it again to BD, because, even though I think the DVD is a top-music-title,
it could definitely use a good fix in video and also a bit better audio.
Besides, seamless branching, perhaps a longer and higher-quality photo-gallery
and perhaps some more extras would just top it off.
Well, for the "seamless" branching, they would have to kind of place the tracks right.
Cause I believe some of the live songs the documentary-version have been cut down,
like... they mixed it with the documentary and abbreviated the live-track playing in the background.
But they should really just try and match it up, or just make it less seamless, which I'd be fine with,
as long as you can switch on the fly.
Otherwise perhaps make it a slightly different cut.
For the 'Rock In Rio'-one... it's funny cause it feels like a similar DVD.
Just the whole package besides that there are two discs, so many more extras.
It's also really good, but the video is quite bad sometimes, the audio is probably better.
It also has Stereo PCM I think, at least DD5.1 and DTS5.1.
I don't know how it was shot in 2001 in Rio, but it definitely deserves an HD-treatment.
Oh yeah, something cool would be to release both the DVD-version and the live TV-version in Rio.
Or even better yet, branch that! lol
Oh hell yeah, replace the lame limited multiple-angle-tracks with a full second angle/track.
Hm, I wonder...
I just read that it's shot by 18 cameras, but I guess putting all that on one disc
would have to wait until the next format.
However, MAYBE they could do it with say 6-7 tracks (band, player1, player2, etc.),
then have the multi-angle-feature with each angle under the numbers.
They should really do that, create the angles-feature so it will map under the number-buttons.
I think I mentioned these titles before, at least the Maiden-one.
Cause I remember saying that I want to see it IN WIDESCREEN.
Well, depends if it was shot that way, I would think so.
Then again if they were local TV-cameras, I don't know,
I think the "DVD-recording" would be a separate crew of course.
But anyway, eventually I found it weird it was in 4:3 being shot in like 2001 with DVD in mind.
The Godsmack-one looks great in full 16:9 though.
lol Sorry for the long post... creative outburst...
