But the potential of the DVD isn't even being realized. No mention of 5.1 this time around like last time (not to say there won't be) but pretty poor bitrate if you're putting a full show on a single DVD.
Compare to CP or Piedmont, spread over 2 DVDs = lossless stereo PCM and as far as DVD goes, decent PQ. You'd almost expect to put it on a groan as you discover it's not even anamorphic!
Blu-ray is in well over 2/3rds of homes though and manufacturing is super cheap compared to where it was when D+T came out, I'm grateful to see video still being embraced but come on...the formats been out for EIGHT YEARS. Peter Gabriel has 4 Blu-rays out, Rolling Stones have something like 8 or 9, AC/DC have 4...
...what's up with DMB and Pearl Jam having no concerts out on Blu-ray?
