Alchemy Live - 20th Anniversary Edition

[dustyvalentino]

DVD will have NTSC.

In every country? ATRR was NTSC but it was filmed in the US so that's OK. But the original Alchemy must have been filmed in PAL...

SOOOOO EXCITED NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just hope the sound & pic are good on the Dvd. I have Blu Ray on my laptop, but i'm not that keen on watching stuff on my lap top.
I prefer to watch on my 40 inch plasma.

still, so little content.
nothing new.
songs missing.
the bluray does not have the cd added?
the limited version is dvd, not bluray?
poor. really,...really disappointed.
(although i will of course freak out seeing the performance in all it's glory, on bluray on my flatsctreen tv....)

Connect your laptop to your plasma and watch the Blu ray in all its glory.

My choice is Blu-Ray. 5.1 DTS HD Master Audio (the bit rate should look like a DVD-Audio) and 120" projector screen

Yes, with HDMI!

[Best Brown Baggies]

I'm afraid me & technology don't see eye to eye.

Thanks to you youngsters though, i'm learning

The 3 at the right side. 1,2,3. Look behind your tv. And your laptop must have HDMI connection...

Otherwise, maybe a VGA cable to the blue connector (pc)

[dustyvalentino]

Yeah, won't necessarily have an HDMI, although if it has Blu-Ray you would think it does.

But failing that the VGA and a 3.5mm to 3.5mm will do it.

[Best Brown Baggies]

My laptop has an HDMI socket, and the back of my tv has a PC in socket.
Is that all i need to watch the Blu ray through my tv?

All things considered though, if i choose the DVD edition over the Blue Ray. Is the sound & picture quality really going to be greatly different?
As long as it's better than my VHS copy, i'll be happy.

No idea, Nigel, I am also not a man who has a way with technology. But I remember when I saw the first Bluray in my life, it was "007 Casino Royale" -
and I literally fell out of the sofa! I immediately started the movie a second time because it was SUCH a pleasure to watch it  (on a big plasma screen) - and not because I didn't got the story...

But there are also a lot of Blurays where the effort and money is wasted... It really depends on the quality of the scource I believe and the effort that is
taken. So I am eagerly waiting for the first reports here. Because I don't have a Bluray player. But would consider to buy one. Maybe some other releases will follow in the not too distant future when this one is a success! My dream release for Christmas 2010: Dire Straits The Tube 1985 on BluRay!

Hi LE. Thanks. I too may wait for the 1st reports to see if the Blu ray is worth it.

Also yeah, Wembley 85 on the Tube. A great show.
Especially the twiddly bits on SOS

This also has my fave verson of SFA.

[dustyvalentino]

Yes, Blu Ray CAN look spectacular. Unfortunately I think that Alchemy was shot on relatively low definition video which DVD will show adequetly. It's possible however that Chuck Ainlay has remixed the audio into one of the various HD audio formats. You would need a fancy HD audio decoder to benefit from that though.

[Best Brown Baggies]

Any idea if the original 'Saturday Night At The Movies' clip from the start of the VHS version will be included on the Dvd/Blu Ray?
The bit where they are all playing pool.
