'David Gilmour: Remember That Night' -- pre-release buzz

[PeterB]

Sony BMG has announced their latest music title to hit Blu-ray:

Though a David Gilmour solo show, it will mark the next-gen debut of any Pink Floyd hits.

No full specs yet, but the concert was captured using 1080i cameras and will offer a PCM 5.1 surround mix.

That's weird, why would David post on his blog it is coming to HD-DVD and Blu-ray if it's distributed via Sony BMG?

Still, looking foward to it.

Edit: Apparently it's listed in the UK as a format neutral release. I guess on his blog he was referring to the UK and not North America. He also mentions the dvd will be a 2 disc set. I hope we don't get jipped on extras.

Cool, this is gonna sound great. Good setlist too, "Echoes" is especially nice addition.

I will definitely pick this up. It's kinda ironic that they put this out since I was thinking how good the Wall would look in HD!! That would be totally kick ass!!
Look how long it took for that to come to dvd though I wouldn't hold my breath for the HD or Blu Ray version!!
Mischa.

This is a bit of a trivial gripe, but David Gilmour was not a founding member of Pink Floyd, contrary to what the article states.

What, 1080i and not p? Maybe I am a bit picky but I like p much better than i. But that will not take away from the music. It should rock.

1080P isn't a broadcast format. 720/60P or 1080/60i is it (or 50P and 50i in Europe). Even 1080P content is generally delivered within a 1080i video stream.

Should still look fantastic.

I'm definately looking forward to this one. It's starting to trickle with music and concert releases. (Not that Sony has a shortage of artists or titles

Eventhough 1080i is the broadcast standard, they could have recorded it at 1080p for later duplication.

I do agree that it will look great anyways.

I'll likely buy this although it's expensive.What i really want is Delicate Sound of Thunder though.That would be something.

Sony cited "production delays" for the reason of the 6 week delay.

Looks like their yeilds aren't as high as they would have you believe and this got bumped to make sure some movies would be pressed in time for their street date.

Thats a big jump to make that conclusion.

On a 60hz TV there is no difference between 1080i and 1080p. HD DVD and Blu-ray content is 1080p/24. If your player outputs a 60-Hz signal (that is, one that your TV can display), the player is adding (creating) the 3:2 sequence. So, whether you output 1080i or 1080p, it is still inherently the same information. The only difference is in whether the player interlaces it and your TV deinterlaces it, or if the player just sends out the 1080p signal directly. If the TV correctly deinterlaces 1080i, then there should be no visible difference between deinterlaced 1080i and direct 1080p (even with that extra step). There is no new information—nor is there more resolution, as some people think. This is because there is no new information with the progressive signal. It's all based on the same original 24 frames per second.

Aaarrrgh. Darn blue ray production delays - get your act together already!

PCM stereo 24/48
Dolby Digital 5.1

Looks pretty good!
