Does Jimmy want to remaster it like it was presented in the theatrical release back in '76? HD vs. BlueRay looks to be a recast of the VHS vs Beta debacle. The consumer pays in the end. A few days ago WB said they were going exclusively with BlueRay, and eBays sales of the HD version have seen price spikes. Now Amazon says the opposite. One more reason I'm a strictly download and vinyl guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like some legal problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireOpal Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 It appears in many markets all remastered editions of DVD have been pulled. It looks like some legal problems What kind of legal problems -- licensing issues? Or was there a technical problem with the remastered edition?

Olipticle Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Some blue rays were released but they pulled back because of contract issues, Which sucks because i just bought a PS3 for the fact its a blue ray player and i wanted a copy. I live in toronto ontario so ill be on the look out for one in store or even on the net. But yeah i wouldnt be suprised if they pushed it back, I doupt 2 full years... But thats only because they need more time for the contracts to be legal i guess. All in all we lose in the end because we always buy the newest version lol. There was supose to be some footage on the blue rays that were releases that wasnt supose to be there. I hear i had something to do with some Peter Grant Footage at the begging of the film.

FireOpal Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Thanks for the info -- can you clarify what you mean by contracts? I'm hearing (unverified) that there were problems with the licensing of artwork and/or other content. Is that what you heard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olipticle Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 im not to sure what the exact complications are im guess guessing there was some footage in there that wasnt supose to be and it go released, And now they recalled them all there was 1 copy left in toronto canada last week and i went all over the city to find it. But by the time i got there some one picked it up. Also im guessin the ones with this footage will be a good collectors items for all thoese who have a copy. But im pretty sure its of peter grant not sure what hes doing i the footage but i heard it of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireOpal Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 I'm hearing now - don't know how reliable, but the guy seemed to know what he was talking about -- that it was an issue with Bono. His name was on the back cover of the original (Nov. 2007) DVDs, and Zeppelin apparently got a "cease and desist" type of order. The new/corrected copies have removed Bono's name.

FireOpal Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Really? Was it a quote from Bono or something? I think it was something like he was billed as participating in one of the DVD features? Dunno. Maybe someone who has an original DVD can chime in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
