How is the PJ20 Deluxe DVD versus the BluRay?
I grabbed the DVD special edition once the Bluray special edition sold out.
...will it format correctly on a flatscreen (via a bluray player), and does it look pretty clear?
Wondering if/when mine shows up whether I should leave it sealed in hopes that a bluray comes out again, or if it's close enough to not miss the HD quality.

it doesnt matter if it was filmed in HD anymore . they just convert it to HD..... you see the Nirvana DVD they just released from 1991 live at the paramount
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGc8jL4dzao
looks like it was filmed last year
no shit...that DVD looks Great!
i'll save you the $100 - send me your blu-ray set and i'll send you my dvd set at no charge!
deal?
That depends on what they shot it in. I can't really tell but that Nirvana concert might have been shot on film. If that was the case, then there is enough resolution so it will look great when they transfer it to HD. Also notice though that it isn't in a wide aspect ration, it looks closer to 4:3. The stuff that was shot on standard def video wouldn't look as good (there is a lot of that throughout PJ20. They can upconvert it but it won't look as good as say those new interviews with the band members that Cameron Crowe did for PJ20.

also true ...
THATS THE SETUP!!!....ENJOY!!!...
for the best possible audio hookup and MAKES A WOLRD OF DIFFERENCE ... FIBER OPTIC CABLE from the bluray player directly to your surround sound system ... if yours is not hooked up that way you are missing out on a lot of awesomeness... the difference is amazing
SORRY CHRIS FOR TURNING THIS INTO TECH TALK 101 ..
as for the nirvana at the paramount, i saw it at the cinema and have it on bluray. the audio mix is ok but nothing special and the video looks like grainy SD. but it's a fucking awesome show... just to watch grohl.
FYI the PJ20 Blu-ray is 1080i, not 1080p. I'm assuming they did this so they didn't have to alter the framerate of the old video content.

That's fine with me!
So, I used to use optical cables all on the back of my 13 year old reciever. Then once I realized HDMI cables also had audio, I assumed it was the same quality audio as optical. Accurate or inaccurate?
...and still looking for a good side-by-side review of the DVD deluxe played on a bluray player vs Bluray deluxe played on a bluray player.

There isn't any difference between the two except for the video and adio quality.
“If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world.
The audio quality is not as good on the DVD deluxe? I thought Bluray only affected the video.

To use the higher quality audio on Blu-ray, you have to use an HDMI cable. There's also an analog cable option, but it requires 6 or more wires and a Blu-ray player with analog audio output. Optical cables can only be used for Dolby Digital.
The PJ20 Blu-ray has both 2 higher quality audio mixes (1 stereo, 1 surround) than the DVD, as well as the Dolby Digital one.
thanks!
Son of a...
Oh well. I'll be happy I got the DVD deluxe at all.

This is not true at all. As someone alluded to above, digital coax or optical (S/PDIF) don't have the bandwidth to support the high-res audio tracks. If you are using optical, you basically won't be getting sound any better than a regular DVD.[/quote]
Let me chime in.
Many people connect with HDMI, optical or COAX to a receiver and think it is the best sound ever, but not always the case. RCAs can sometimes be superior in many instances.
If your receiver CANNOT DECODE THE LOSSLESS SOUNDTRACK (due to its age or make and model) it will basically decode with the latest codec it had at the time of production from the digital signal it is receiving.
If the receiver gets a digital audio signal be it HDMI, COAX or Optical from a blu-ray player and the receiver itself does not have the ability to decode the higher resolution audio. You are not getting the audio benefits of the higher resolution codecs. If you are doing this you are missing out on the sound possibilities.
If the blu-ray player has the decoder and the Receiver does NOT, there IS A WAY you may benefit from the higher resolution audio depending on your blu-ray player and your receivers ANALOG inputs and out puts.
If you have a multi-channel analog OUTPUT on your blu-ray player, and multi-channel analog INPUT on your receiver, simply use RCAs to connect the blu-ray audio to the receiver. This way it is your PLAYER decoding
for the receiver.
This is the only way you will hear the lossless audio through a receiver that does not have the ability to decode the higher resolution audio codecs.
HDMI is used for the VIDEO only in this case. So CABLES GALOR between the receiver and TV at least 7.
But if you REALLY want to benefit from the sound this is the way if the receiver cannot do it.
If I helped one person out this typing was worth it.
