Despite the fact that this is a compilation both November shows, I see that the track list complete, i'm saying about video part. They could release remastered VHS version, but they didn't do this.[/QUOTE]

I hope the video is in 4:3 OAR.

Worst case scenario is it'll be in NTSC 480i AND cropped to 16:9 !!! (DOUBLE TORTURE)

If so then it's CDs only for me.

Mmm if i´m not wrong, the footage in the youtube trailer is in 4:3... so, is very possible that the dvd is 4:3 too.

I'm 99.99% sure it will be NTSC - 480i and 4:3.

Thanks, i've not seen the You Tube clip yet but that's encoraging.

The SD blu-ray FM tribute is 60 Hz and 16:9 pillar box.

Don't complain.
It's DOUBLE that price in Europe....

The blu-ray is currently £9.99 at amazon uk.

so if dvd is gonna be ntsc does that mean that blu ray will be in ntsc too? i'm confused about that technical detail. also does anybody have a screenshot for comparison of 2003 live at wembley pal dvd and 2011 ntsc dvd?

60Hz = NTSC
50Hz = PAL

My guess is:

It would have been recorded in PAL 576i
But we will probably get NTSC 480i
Blu ray probably 16:9 pillar box.

Since there no longer seems to be a quality issue these days (see 'The Lot') then a needless conversion is the order of the day.

The native and definitive release will elude us.

Shame.

The DVD will almost certainly be NTSC, simply because all post 2011 Queen related DVDs were NTSC. The Bluray can be

a) PAL SD 720x576 @ 50i - very unlikely
b) NTSC SD 720x480 @ 60i - probably
c) the NTSC SD "master" upscaled to 1440x1080p and pillarboxed to 1920x1080p

It will probably be b)
