PSB realized the same thing with DiscoVery Live, but still released it on DVD with PCM 48khz audio, which is far better than no release at allDr_Jones wrote: Thu Sep 09, 2021 5:56 pm People asked about bluray releases. He answers that it's hard to release people on bluray because of quality.
Exactly. Those were recorded for SD and won't benefit from HD upscaling at all.Finaero wrote: Thu Sep 09, 2021 6:37 pmPSB realized the same thing with DiscoVery Live, but still released it on DVD with PCM 48khz audio, which is far better than no release at allDr_Jones wrote: Thu Sep 09, 2021 5:56 pm People asked about bluray releases.

Unless there's bonus content like for instance MF1 from the VHS version (which I very much doubt) then color me nonplussedDr_Jones wrote: Thu Sep 09, 2021 6:16 pm He would like to do a 40th anniversary release of Concerts in China, he'll talk with Sony about that.

It's #1 on Amazon Spain right now, so I can't say it didn't work
I can imagine HD can cause problems (there's enough upscaled from DVD Blurays out there which is pretty cheap and useless), but a DVD transfer would be a lot easier and less complicated.Jote wrote: Thu Sep 09, 2021 6:57 pmWhat a pathetic excuse this isDr_Jones wrote: Thu Sep 09, 2021 5:56 pm People asked about bluray releases.

I don't recall "oh no, we can't re-release Revolutions because Roland D-50 has only 8-bit samples" ever being a problem. FFS
But it's still a pathetic excuse. Had resolution been the real cause the answer should be "the concerts are not in HD, so while Blu-ray doesn't make sense they can be released on DVD". Clearly there is no will.Dr_Jones wrote: Thu Sep 09, 2021 7:07 pm I can imagine HD can cause problems (there's enough upscaled from DVD Blurays out there which is pretty cheap and useless), but a DVD transfer would be a lot easier and less complicated.
Today is the release of WELCOME TO THE OTHER SIDE the Blu-Ray&CD and Vinyl. The 2020 New Years Eve VR concert from virtual Notre-Dame took place when the world was in lockdown, we were all living in isolation, confined to our homes which became the central hub of our lives and the only space we had to maintain some form of normality. Where work, family, love, leisure and play was all contained inside those four walls. We shared and interacted with the ‘outside’ world via our screens. As a musician, performer and creator of concert events, like all my peers, I needed to create, to perform and share, that’s the only vocation I know. Notre-Dame in Paris is one of the most visited sites for tourists across the globe – it seemed a perfect setting for a New Year’s Eve invitation to travel and celebrate...even if it was just virtual
Eventually the concert was seen by 75Mio viewers from around the world. Today it is released together with an in depth behind The Scenes and MasterClass. I hope you will enjoy it as much as I did putting it together for you.
