Silly rumour about stolen Rainbow tapes is utter RUBBISH!

Thanks for the post Greg, none of us take any notice of that pleb anyway. Can you give us any info regarding video format? I know and respect the fact that cannot go into too much detail, but you might be able to answer this.

I have heard some unofficial mention of Blu_ray format which would be a surprise, I thought DVD would be the only possible format. Also I have mentioned Aspect Ratio in another thread and am curious about what the intentions are. Is it going to be cropped to 16:9 from what I presume is a natural aspect ratio of 4:3?

Going a bit far here, sorry. Is it technically possible to produce a DVD or BR with both aspect ratios? Kind of like the dual audio stream, LPCM and Dolby Surround. Can a DVD/BR be produced to naturally play the cropped 16:9 which is all the rage these days, but also have an option to play the 4:3 collectors edition on one Disk. Not sure of the technical possibilities, but wouldn't that be a great way to produce video releases going forward.?

Thanks.
Mark Bowles.

Obviously any informed opinions from my fellow forum members is most welcome. Pardon my ignorance if I'm in cloud cuckoo land.

We are reviewing in much detail exactly what we have and what is possible. But I honestly cannot comment on BluRay because it's too premature. It's not possible to answer that until we cover every single inch of what's there. But rest assured, the points you mention will not have been overlooked.

Also, as you rightly observe, at the point at which we do know what formats will happen, and what general form the package will take, it wouldn't be my business to disclose it. That's the job of the publicist and the band.

I would get in big trouble if I spilled the beans on such things - which some people on QZ have always found hard to understand, but it is absolutely the case.

Huh, GB thinks that people on QZ are morons!

Greg, it seems to me I did ask forgive me but it seems to me all in vain you're carrying on insult me! But don't worry all your insults I'll eat at breakfast tomorrow!
Thanks for this fab!

................

Anton....

Please try to understand this. Try to get this into your skull and see it from my point of view...

You emailed me at home early this week to offer what looked to be a sincere apology for your many insults, peculiar antics and nasty comments. I thought about it, and then replied, thanking you for your apology. I wished you all the best for 2013 and told you I'd leave it at that.

I was aware that your sudden and uncharacteristic apology, was very probably offered only because you wanted to follow up with myriad questions and rants and torrents of "I want, I want".... and so this has proven to be - exactly as I thought. Your apology was entirely transparent, I'm afraid.

But, no matter, I was just going to ignore your multiple rants and emails and leave it on the pleasant (though insincere) way we left it.

But then I come on QZ today and see you have maliciously pasted my personal email address on this site, for no good reason, other than because you are a vindictive spiteful, and very very very annoying creature.

And now you say I'm insulting you.

You are too annoying for words and I will continue, I assure you, to ignore anything you send me... whether it's an apology or another "fat man I kill you" death threat.

I could not care less what you have to say. You will not hear from me again, and that includes here on QZ, you silly silly billy! or Sillisky billisky.

Huh!!
As I said before I'll eat your innuendoes at breakfast tomorrow.
I'm good shy person!
Not my guilt that QPL promises much does nothing and tells then plans change or something like that.

Not accurate. I was in Prague in November and there were six Russian fans there. We all went for a drink in the main town, and had a fabulous time and a great laugh. They were brilliant guys. And no bullshit or death threats from any of them!!!

I also met some Russian fans in Dresden in October, and they too were lovely and charming and funny people. Not one single lie all night.

So again, Anton, you are talking from that part of your anatomy some people here in the UK refer to as a chocolate starfish!

Cheers Greg - it's good to know that these sort of details will be considered this time around.

Others here with greater technical knowledge on these matters than I have aired grievances over how the Greatest Video Hits DVDs had picture formats messed with to the detriment of the videos. Not only that, but the 4:3 to 16:9 conversion was actually used as a positive selling point, when in reality it apparently degraded to picture quality and cropped the picture?

Equally, a lot of debate has been had regarding PAL to NTSC conversion for recent releases being detrimental to picture quality, especially when the sole reason for doing so is most likely purely financial.

This isn't a 'pop' at you by any means, but simply adding to the previous post with a couple more considerations to put forward and consider when decisions are being made for this much anticipated release.

Cheers!

Thanks for addressing my question Greg, I know you can only say so much especially with the project in it's infancy.
I'm really looking forward to this one, It can't happen soon enough. :)

This is great news!
Thanks for this reply. This is gonna be another great year for Queen fans. The last couple of years were great. This is probably the best period for me concerning Queen releases since the release of "Made in Heaven". I´m looking forward to it.

This is great news. At last a real Rainbow topic.
It is nice to see that the project it's still in the making.
I do not want any detail regarding the content, but Greg, can you give us an estimated release date at least.
Thx again

My left leg feels that Amazing new Rainbow Project will be released in 2014 as 40th anniversary of this concert!
