So, this: Why the Wembley 86 show is not on Blu Ray?
I think they could do it.

Because it's not shot on film. Quality can only be as good as you see in the DVD.
2016 is not far though, so they just might release it on SD Blu-Ray.

Because PAL tape has 576 lines, Bluray resolution is 1080 lines. It wasn't shot on film but on tape so they'd had to upscale it and most of the HD upscales of 80's tapes look like shit

I am 100% sure that the image quality on a SD bluray would be better than the one on the previous dvd , because it would be less compressed.
I am also 100% sure that the overwhelming majority of the potential customer base already has at least two versions of the concert, and wouldn't be interested in buying a third one.
Let's hope it doesn't get another release!

Rainbow, looks great and it was taped too. But i will only buy Wembley again if the mix is new, matching the quality of Budapest, Montreal and Rainbow.

Please God not again. If an 80's gig has to be released surely Rio 85 should get a remixed remaster unedited release?!

In 2035 they'll release the 49 th anniversary edition where you can Don Freddie's pants.
It will be interactive.

50 years after that when we're all dead. A distant friend of Brian's granddaughter will have acquired the back catalogue as a creditor and the ENTIRE queen archive will be released for the price of 1 Globule.

But that's not a fault of the DVD format, it's the fault of them not knowing how to encode to mpg2 properly. A DVD needs to have the avg bitrate around 8Mbps to look "OK", the official Queen DVDs I checked had their bitrate around 3-4Mbps .
And of course they've made the idiotic decision to convert all PAL tapes to NTSC for some reason on all their post-2011 releases.

There's the option for switchable cameras for the entire concert on blu ray release

Awesome. I've always wanted to get in Freddie's pants.

Not the ones released through Eagle Rock. Since ANATO Classic Albums (2005/2006?) that the DVD's have far higher bitrates.
The idiotic decision of converting PAL to NTSC is made by the record label. Other DVDs/Blu-Rays from Universal/Island artists also come in NTSC.
As for Wembley on Blu-Ray (or any other concert shot on tape), it's ok for me. Remember that a Blu-Ray disc, as any other disc, is a mass storage device.
Even if something is shot on tape, it will benefit from a transfer to Blu-Ray (if done properly) because the video will look more like the masters they come from, and they will be far less compressed than they are on DVD. And, of course, it will have HD sound.

The Queen releases do have some incredibly poor decisions, but it isn't just a case of encoding "properly", it's also a problem with the limitations of the dvd.
The 8 Mbps bitrate is pretty much the maximum a dvd player can read, and with that quality the maximum programme length is limited to about 105 minutes.
That means that a blu-ray version of Wembley could have a better picture quality than any possible dvd, even if it used a dvd-quality videostream.
(Of course knowing QP, a blu-ray version of the concert would still be encoded with a 5 Mbps bitrate!)
