I don't know about anyone else, but I got mine through Amazon.com :

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...ls_o04_s00_i00

but it looks like I got the last copy because it's temporarily out of stock now

Adje · 29 Nov 2012, 02:11

Several sites have it:
Meat on BluRay on Madman

Get Price also has it

And if you go to the amazon link you see that there is still 1 available below the 'temporarily out of stock' message ( 2 new from $31.4

It says 2 but only one has it in stock. SO if you want it better be sure you get there first

Got mine off DVD4music.com but only paid £16.99 now its gone upto £34.95, unsure why, contacted them via email yesterday and they replied saying its been shipped from Australia so I presume thats the only territory it was released on Blu-ray.

I'm not sure what audio tracks are on the bluray. The last link says DTS-HD but I heard someone say it's only DD 5.1 sound like the DVD. If someone has the Blu, can he/she please tell me what the specs are?

anotherday · 29 Nov 2012, 20:27

Great DVD.

WOW. blown away by MEAT and the BAND. I enjoyed every SONG for what it was. I will probably watch it again tonight.

Did anyone else have "lines" running on their screen during certain parts of the dvd? I found it sad to waste such great footage and then have it ruined by the poor quality

.

BUT THE DVD IS GREAT MEATY. you should be PROUD

I found that in parts the picture appeared a bit pixellated. It was the only thing I was a bit disappointed with. I think was beyond Meat's control and he should be proud of it. He's released a product that a lot of fans have really enjoyed and he and the band were spot-on.

An awesome DVD! Holy smokes, every angle, every sweep, every close up and colour. Every note, every instrument, everything. A lot of funny moments, for example SPOILER when Lil Jon comes on the big screen. Hysterical! And at the same time, a clever insightful, fun rap. So much of Patti on vocals, this was a treat. The many faces of Meat and band it was just a real cool two hours. I cannot wait to hear this on the right stereo

I like Ginny in this DVD, her part really fits into to the set, imo. The way its filmed goes with the music. I like how *SPOILER* Paul plays the guitar at the beginning of RockNRollDreams. Reminds me of PEI, in Charlottetown being roughly a metre away from him. I haven't had a chance to see the interview yet, but that's okay. The only thing that I would have like to seen is John play a little more, like a solo

And maybe some more opportunities to hear some bass. Kinda how like Song Of Madness touched upon last year.
It was just great, and aside from that picking up another Hang Cool Teddy Bear last weekend, I am smiling.

Oh my the little red hats are back

Its DTS-MA so it is HD, and picture quality is excellent on the Blu-Ray also

Thanks for the answer Jayd.

duke knooby · 21 Jan 2013, 00:08

ive finally got to watch the bog standard dvd... my opinion, a great addition to any meat fans collection

i played it on a decent dvd player, through a decent crt tv, using a decent scart cable, and saw no picture issues at all. picture quality was very good, as was colour, only funny moments were a few shakey camera shots lol

a good dvd :)

Elijah's way · 04 Feb 2013, 06:26

I tried to watch it again but the quality is so bad that I just can't. I refuse to believe that Meat watched and approved the release of the sloppy work the people done on this. I just wonder if the Blu Ray is any better!?

melon · 04 Feb 2013, 07:08

I recon its all down to the tv you're watching it on. Like I said, it was good on one of my TVs and not so good on the other

if it did have something to do with the tv (I think it's ridiculous for anyone to suggest that) it would look great on mine because I have a LG plasma and a sony blu ray player. And not only that I watched some of it on a friends tv and it looked just as bad, it's a samsung LCD with a sony blu ray player so it's most difantly NOT the tv!!!

It's the DVD!!!

No other DVD looks as bad as this one does. 3 bats live and MSO looks like Blu Ray compared to this.

**Monstro** · 04 Feb 2013, 09:26

Well I finally had a copy delivered, watched thru a dirt cheap flatscreen tv on a £17 Sainsbury's DVD player and can't see what people are getting upset over, no problems with picture quality. To be sure I watched thru laptop and again no problems.

I'm wondering if it could be something like a couple of bad batches or something because some people seem to be reporting problems when others are saying that everything is fine.

When I've watched the copy I bought from HMV on release day, there has definately been a poor quality picture at times during the show when I've watched it on my computers. Perhaps it's worth opening the other copy I have (which was ordered from Amazon) to see if it's still an issue.

robgomm · 04 Feb 2013, 13:31

Looks fine to me. I think as Jenna said maybe there was just a bad batch or something, as there are lots of people here saying the quality looks fine.

Cherry.Loaf · 04 Feb 2013, 16:19

I'm curious now I'm going to re-watch mine and see if it's noticeable

Adje · 04 Feb 2013, 16:31

The compression of the video is poor. That's what bothers some of the people, including me. It's clearly a production mistake. It doesn't have to do anything with the copy you have.

I watched the DVD a few weeks ago and it still bothers me. (Equally much as the lack of a DTS track and the amount of poor editing choices) I don't mind that people are fine wit a low quality image (and it can even look decent if you adjust your tv settings) but if they advertised this with (Ohh we used HD cameras to give you the best home experience) and then convert it terrible, yeah, it bothers me a lot.

As I said before, the concert and Meat Loaf were too good to get such a poor DVD release. ConcertOne messed up. Simple is that.

I would tend to agree with this statement. Meat was decent, and the band was on fire, but the video production was incredibly poor.

There are too many shots of peoples asses, and the back of people heads and random shots during band members solos that it's just a complete mess in terms of video editing

I would never buy another concert one release after seeing this, I. Basically only use the CD

Well I'm sorry, may seem "Ridiculous" to you, but I can only comment on what I see, and that is one TV playing it properly, one not and ALOT of different comments re the quality.

Can't believe this thread is still alive to be honest

Sebastian. · 04 Feb 2013, 16:50

Watched it on 22'' LCD PC screen and a 42'' LCD TV. No problems as at all. Plan to watch it on a 60'' LCD with surround sound when I go out to Saudi. MSO rocked on that!
