But the brazilian was very dark !!  | |

the brazilian is bootleg quality, not professional packaging, menu, sound encoding, or even picture transfer. It need to be redone correctly. My art book: http://www.lulu.com/spotl...ecomicskid

well, if U consider that the official VHS has bootleg quality (in my opinion) and the sound quality on the SOTT album is not that good 2...it doesn't bother U much...but yeah..I agree...is far from what consider good quality picture&sound [This message was edited Tue Mar 2 11:50:35 2004 by go2theMax] | |

Is the format in Holland, PAL? (American crosses fingers that it's in NTSC format) | |

Ive got some more info from the site www.muziek-en-beeld.nl (a really reliable source for the Dutch entertainment-industry).
They write that the material Video/Film Express got (from MCA? Paisley?) had mono-sound, but they managed to find another audiotrack of a better quality. The made the 5.1 and DTS-mix from that track. Here's the original text from www.muziek-en-beeld.nl Nederland is het eerste land in de wereld waar een dvd op de markt komt van de concertfilm Sign ‘O’ The Times van Prince. Video/Film Express brengt deze primeur op 30 maart uit. De film is een registratie van een concert dat Prince in 1987 in Rotterdam gaf in het kader van zijn Sign ‘O’ The Times Tour. Video/Film Express kreeg het materiaal voor de dvd aangeboden met monogeluid, maar is erin geslaagd om een geluidskanaal van hogere kwaliteit op te sporen. De anderhalf uur durende concertregistratie wordt derhalve in Dolby Digital 5.1 en DTS op dvd uitgebracht. [This message was edited Tue Mar 2 12:40:44 2004 by DeSteen] | |

Dumb question? Is there a PAL/NTSC conversion issue even for DVDs ? | |

This sounds like a less than official release to me!  | |

This is the news i've been waiting for! But, is it actually official? "London, i've adopted a name that has no pronounciation.... is that cool with you?"
"YEAH!!!" "Yeah, well then fuck those other fools!" | |

Sounds dodgy to me.
Released in one country? Doesn't make sense. If P doesn't need Warner approval to put this out, then surely he would have it for sale at the club, to maximise his revenue. If he did need warners approval, then they are not going to let an independent release it in one country. I guess its a boot, passing off as an original, just like the Brazilian one... . | |

probably, they would have to get to the originaltapes to mix a 5.1 soundtrack, and why wold that be done for just one country code?

The DVD will probably be released region free. The reason for regioning is for films that may still be in theaters in one country, while another country may purchase it retail.
I think that Universal owned the rights to SOTT, not Warners. This still sounds like an unofficial release. If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot. | |

Video/Film Express only distributes/publishes it, they don't have to own a thing to release it, so I guess Universal (or whoever has the rights to it) gave them a deal... Video/Film Express is a legit company that has released numerous official music DVD's (with cooperation of artists themselves) so I highly doubt it's an unofficial/bootleg release otherwise they wouldn't (be able to) advertise it... Holland has about the tightest bootleg/illegal copy law in the world... Neversin. O(+>NIИ<+)O

Isn't it a shit load of effort to go to - getting hold of a music track of better quality and ending up with Dolby digital & DTS etc...
only to release in one country?  | |

This is actually pretty standard practice... Especially with european movies, they get an initial low-key official release in the country of production and then usually about a year later it gets a normal worldwide fullblown release... Neversin. O(+>NIИ<+)O

No problems with region codes, or PAL/NTSC mess. I think the brand is United or Bayer or smthg else... some cheap brand anyway, but nice!
I cant understand why there has to be different regions??? What is the point and who is getting the benefit? ********************************************

Well, example: "21 Grams" has just been released on DVD in the US whereas in the UK and other european countries it opens tomorrow or the whereabouts in theatres... You do the math... Neversin. O(+>NIИ<+)O
