I would like to know when the band has planned to release Greatest Video Hits 3 and if this DVD would feature unreleased videos or documentals. Thank you Guys
yea they plan on releasing this, but, who care? i would much rather a live DVD of a 70's show.
I would much rather GVH III. We need to finish this project (promo videos) firstly!
Well rumours say they got extra features of The Breakthru tour and Queen live At Oxford '91 :D
I heard its coming out this December not sure what date though.

Aha... another compilation of poorly mastered and butchered promo videos... lets give it a miss, eh?

The Innuendo videos were some of the best. Bring it on...

They need to re-realease GH1and2, because they're impossible to get new, I can only find them old and used... does anyone know where I can get them? They need to release every video Queen ever made... in my opinion.

If you don't mind paying me the cost upfront for the DVD's (plus shipping), I can buy them in-store at HMV here in Canada.
yeah they're cheap here, i have all the dvd's except
the FMTC, on fire at the bowl was only $17, wembley was cheap too, and gvh I & II were only 3x dollars. CDN of course. Think it's a good investment, BTW is there an HMV in the states, if not is there a major leader in cd distribution, the biggest competitors to HMV are Sunrise Records and Music World.

I got my copy of GHII at Wal-Mart a year ago.

Surely by the THIRD ATTEMPT they have realised how to author DVDs properly and in their OAR (4:3) and not looking worse than their VHS counterparts?

cropping 4:3 and re-scaling to 16:9 is sheer madness. Thank God the Wembley & MK didn't suffer this horrendous fate.
Heh, it gives me hope to hear that the first two are becoming hard to find. I keep praying that they will redo these properly as has been stated. The video quality is dreadful.. GVH1 is even single layer. The faked widescreening is wrong, and they even screwed it up on 2 videos on GHV2, not to mention all the separate titles on that one rather than one complete program.. understandable in one case since The Invisible Man apparently had to be left full-frame.

Frankly they are a mess. The 2nd discs in both cases are okay I suppose.. they just need to redo the main discs and I'd be happy.

And though it's been discussed many times before, it's simply uncool to exclude a Dolby Digital track so everyone can enjoy the remixes. And after recently converting all of the DTS mixes to Dolby Digital myself so I could finally hear them, at 448Kbps they come out incredibly small and would not have much of an effect on overall quality. It's stupid to not give people the option. Peter Gabriel put a note in his 'Play' booklet stating that the DTS mixes were preferable, but included Dolby Digital so everyone could enjoy them. And his 'Play' DVD is simply amazing btw.

As for Wembley, the fucking bitrate never goes above 2.5! It might as well be a damn SVCD! They wasted a ton of space on the upmixed DTS track. 'On Fire' somehow manages to look decent, to me anyway. Of the whole 'DVD Collection', this one by some group called 'Queen On Fire' is the best in overall quality.
