CMI wrote: Pittrek, it's very strange to see this kind of post from advanced person like you... Blu-Ray is very good and works perfectly on Blu-Ray player or PowerDVD or Arcsoft TotalMedia Theatre 3 software for example. If you don't want to upgrade your software or hardware, please buy DVD and watch it with pleasure. It's easy decision...

Haha! That's the biggest laugh ever! First thing I did when I got my copy was extract the files on my PC using free software easily found on the internet, strip the protection and then back them all up on my Queen video hard-drive; Something which, I might add, I'm legally allowed to do here in the UK, so long as it's purely for my own purposes.

popy wrote: You're being to harsh. Just because you can't play the disc, it doesn't mean you have to post "do not buy the new blu-ray". At least write something like "i can't play the Blu-Ray". A friend of mine bought it, and he showed me and it plays without any problem on his PC. Just because you can't play it, does it mean that no one should buy it? I'm pretty sure that there are people who bought the Blu-Ray and didn't find any problems playing it.

YourValentine wrote:  If I may add another unwanted advice here: you do not need a DVD Player AND  a recorder because a recorder also plays the DVD.

maxpower wrote: That monitor isn't HD just standard VGA, so there's your problem, I know QPL make many fuck ups, I don't mean to offend but they are not responsible for PC specification. The monitor is just standard VGA so there is no HDMI or DVI connections (the difference being DVI only carries an video signal (no audio) i.e. like my HP250i which I am using now where as HDMI carries both audio & video)  When I use my monitor for PS3 I have to use the DVI cable for the visual side but also connect the bog standard scart connection & split off the red & white phono connections to my hi-fi system & tell PS3 through the setting the audio is being carried by the scart/phono and the picture is being carried separately. Sometimes you just have to juggle things such is life

pittrek wrote: 1920x1080 = HD RESOLUTION.  The term "high definition" only says how many pixels must the screen be capable to show, it says nothing about the way how the screen is connected to the source of the signal

I'm more pissed off at the fact that it's NTSC again (well, 60i), which means they've had to create frames to fit the format and therefore added drag and jerking to the picture. Whilst the sound is a major improvement, compared to the HD broadcast on the BBC, the new bluray is hard to actually watch. I can't believe that QPL go to all the trouble of making their product "sound" perfect, but then they happily let Universal fuck it all up by converting PAL video material to NTSC. 3/4 of the world use PAL as their DVD format you know, so why do we constantly end up pandering to the fucking Yanks and their lower quality video format???????

The 2011 remasters, despite having been hailed as the "definitive Queen sound" or something along those lines, were full of remaster errors,not to mention the waste of space on the second CD. 2. The Platinum Collection was re-released, but we don't know if GH3 has been remastered or not. 3. The exhibition was a success and it was a must-see for any Queen fan... if you happened to be a Londoner, that is. 4. The Live at Wembley re-release was nice and all, but most of the extras from the earlier edition were discarded like excreta. 5. The Live at Wembley box set was an overpriced piece of crap according to most people. 6. The Royal Orb (I wanna know who dreamt that up and what they were smoking at the time) promised lossless audio files, but delivered lossy formats. 7. The 40 Years of Queen book was probably the best Queen-related product this year, but from what I gather it had numerous omissions, not to mention the interview CD fiasco. 8. Days of Our Lives has technical problems and I don't even want to comment on the disparity of extras between the DVD and the Blu-Ray editions. 9. The Queen Extravaganza. 'Nuff said. 10. Adam Lambert. Again - 'nuff said. Are you seriously telling me that the only good quality product in this - Queen's 40th anniversary year - was the friggin' Deep Cuts collections? V.

Togg wrote: Sorry but welcome to the 21st century...  if you want to watch Blu rays in that way you have to be prepared to update it every ten mins and have major issues when new disks get released.Blu Ray players are now pretty cheap so I suggest going to buy one and them watching it on a decent TV screen. The way you are doing it is madness. It has nothing to do with Queen Productions
