iTunes HD download of the Concert Film of Celebration Day

[blockhead]

Has anyone else downloaded this? I had to report it to Apple as the soundtrack is distorted.

They refunded me and have reported the issue.

The Audio Only version is fine but the sound on the film on iTunes (at least on my download) is inferior...

How so?

buddy of mine bought from itunes and says his audio is good.

Well... Whenever the band are playing at full pelt the cymbals drop out slightly and the track gets muddy... It sounds like a compression issue... I've tried it on 2 machines and it's the same on both.

The audio only mp3 is fine (well as fine as MP3's are!).

Hmm. Good to know.

If feather's friend is right about the quality on his end being fine, maybe it's an issue with the copy supplied to the U.K. iTunes division.

What is the audio bit rate from the download? If it's not 192/24 or 96/24 it's not HD! Is it Lossy or Lossless? Just curious.

That's the video specs. SD (480i) is of course DVD, but a 720P version? Where was that released? My copy is 1080P of course. But if they did release a 720P version my question would be why? And the stand alone Blu Ray audio specs have a higher bit rate than the Blu Ray, which is confusing as well.

We don't have nearly as many HD options here in Canada.

Well 720P is a form of HD and many argue that 720P and 1080P are the same. With 4K and more coming out soon, 1080P will be the "old format". 4K is I think 1600P or more.

I know - I'd prefer 1080p, though.

I meant more generally, as related to services like Netflix. When I checked iTunes, I did notice that there was a 1080p version.

I know downloading is the future but...the physical must be held on to...I cant imagine downloading the blu Ray and having it glitchless and perfect like the real deal and I am not an audio/videophile at all...
