NIN: Beside You In Time DVD

[KASR]

I was able to snag this at a new and used movie/music shop and I gotta tell you that I'm glad I did!

My DVD/HD/BR music collection is pretty skimpy as this addition DOUBLED my collection - LOL!! And while I do live my Rush: Live in Rio DVD, the sound engineering that went into the NIN DVD is pretty amazing! It's setup for surround sound, so there was no audio wrapping from a 2.0 signal - each channel has it's own purpose/job to do and the music really rang true. Since my only comparison (that I own) is the Rush DVD, I can tell you that vocals definitely came in alot clearer and while I realize that Rush's DVD capitalized on the crowds volume and energy, NIN's DVD focused on music/sound quality. Here are the specs for the DVD:

• 16:9 Aspect Ratio
• 480i resolution (the HDA-20 up-converter actually shined here...I was VERY surprised.)
• Available Audio formats: Dolby Digital 2.0, Dolby Digital 5.1, DTS 5.1 Surround (this is what I ran it at and it sounded simply great!)
• Languages: English, on-screen lyrics available, full-closed caption
• Alternate Angle: 3-songs, real-time switching
• Menus: interactive menus
• Bonuses: Music videos for The Hand That Feeds and Only are presented in standard definition, as they were originally filmed, with surround sound audio.
• The three rehearsal videos are presented in standard definition, as they were originally filmed, with stereo audio only.
• Image gallery is presented in full 1920x1080 resolution (HD formats)

.

I highly recommend this DVD/HDDVD/Bluray for any NIN enthusiasts - a very good transfer and audio reference material for a live show!

I got a free "sampler" blu ray with 3 songs from the full release.

That's more than enough for me. I tried to enjoy it but .... couldn't quite get there.

Yes that NIN is a great DVD and while I don't have the Rush Live in Rio, I do have the Rush R30 DVD and it is as good as the NIN when using DTS

I almost picked that up!! Now that I know it's in DTS, I gotta check it out. Too bad Show of Hands isn't in DTS...that was another great concert vid from Rush
