When was the doc filmed?
Roger and Bri look a bit younger than there more recent 'haggard look' (want of a better word!).
Bri's hair even has a bit of bounce in it like the old days and he even mentions that it Was 20 years ago since he did Good Company.
Surely he means 30 years or was it filmed earlier than last year?

I was going to get this for the Dolby Digital mix- I play surround through my computer, and cant decode DTS currently.
So can someone who actually has this confirm for me whether all or part actually is mixed into Dolby, or whether thats not true, as suggested above - Im a tad confused!
Cheers!

the play DTS on the PC you need WinDVD platinium edition freely available on bittorrent
cheers for the info - I had kinda thought about updating my software...
Although I suppose by "freely available" you mean illegally available on bitorrent - unfortunately Im against stealing software as I am music - I may buy the platinum at a computer fair.
I take it by your answer the new release doesnt have a dolby mix though? lol

You could try it though as a trial version from their website for 30 days.
It's made by Intervideo
Once you've heard Queen in DTS 5.1 you'll hate your CD's

That was very tasty, yes. I was dying for more. Don't we all secretly wish we had grown up to be as cool as Roger Taylor?
Has anybody else gotten a bad copy? Mine stutters like Mel Tillis on nearly all the special features and on the "God Save the Queen" track-by-track segment - and on three different DVD player models.

I hope this will help anyone considering buying this.

Hi,
Just to say that I recieved my copy of The Making Of A Night At The Opera today.
I didn't purchase the 30th anniversary ANATO album release last year as the DVD surround mix was DTS only. (I do not have DTS capability)
I was delighted to learn of this new release and that the 2nd disc on the Premium Edition contained DTS, PCM stereo and Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtracks.
Somebody has misled many Queen fans, not to mention virtually every online retailer, the Official Internation Queen Fan Club, the official Queen site and the official Brian May site and no doubt countless others with an inexcusable cock up of considerable proportions.
THERE IS NO DOLBY DIGITAL 5.1 SOUNDTRACK ON DISC 2.
This is from YOUR website.............
Synopsis
TRACKLISTING
1) Death On Two Legs 2) Lazing On A Sunday Afternoon 3) I’m In Love With My Car 4) You’re My Best Friend 5) ’39 6) Sweet Lady 7) Seaside Rendezvous 8) Good Company 9) Love Of My Life 10) Bohemian Rhapsody
“Queen: The Making Of A Night At The Opera” tells the track by track story of the album through new interviews with Brian May, Roger Taylor and producer Roy Thomas Baker along with archive interviews with Freddie Mercury and contributions from photographer Mick Rock, Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry and Ian Hunter from Mott The Hoople amongst others. Illustrated by classic live footage, much of it from the Hyde Park free concert in 1976, and in depth studio analysis the film gives an intimate portrait of the making of a true classic album and is a worthy addition to our acclaimed and highly successful Classic Albums series.
There are over 50 minutes of bonus footage including the following:
Additional interviews and analysis of the tracks / Exclusive acoustic performances of “39” and “Love Of My Life” by Brian May / Previously unreleased full live performance of “Sweet Lady” from the Hyde Park free concert in 1976.
This Special Edition includes a second bonus DVD disc which has the entire original studio album remixed into Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS surround sound as well as Dolby Digital Stereo, with the original videos for “Bohemian Rhapsody” and “You’re My Best Friend”, newly created visuals for all the other tracks and a commentary on each track made up from archive and new interviews with all four members of the band.
If you trawl the web you will find almost without exception, nobody has managed to describe this product correctly.
I do accept that the packaging description is correct, but surely people are entitled to an accurate description before deciding to buy.

In the year 2006, it's hard for me to sympathise with those that still don't have DTS equipment. It's been discussed many times before that Queen don't want to release their stuff in Dolby Digital 5.1. I understand the decision and hope it stays that way as the quality of DTS is great.
I don't mean to be, well... mean, to those without DTS playback capabilities. And in 2002 when the ANATO DVDA was released, sure, it was understandable that some were annoyed about the DTS track. It wasn't that widespread, as DVD's had only really taken off the previous year. Popularity-wise, I mean. But it's been 4 years and the dvd format has made us all fully aware that DTS is out there! lol
Seriously though, those that don't upgrade will continue to lose out. Shame, but it's their own fault in the end. The technology is cheap these days, too. And with a move to another video format looming, it's very probable that DTS will become chosen more because the disc space is there to be used.
So what are you waiting for music lovers? Embrace it!
Peace,
Adam.

Agreed.
I remember when I got my copy of the WWRY DVD with DTS in about 2001, it was before I even had a DVD player.
I quickley rushed out and bought a Player with a DTS surround system purely to watch and listen to my new DVD, even though I couldnt afford it and should have really spent my money on things of what some might say a far greater priority.
That was in 2001 and cost about 200 quid, so you must be able to get them for pennies now.
As Freddie would say 'Just go out and buy it'.

I've just finished watching this DVD for the first time and I'm sooooo happy to see it. All comments (e.g. Roy's from the mixing room) are very very interesting and especially those ones of Brian, Roger are very exciting, sometimes touching as well. I was excited to hear Roger's fantastic playing on drums and guitar in IILWMC. And I like Brian's singing in '39 and Love Of My Life due to his heartfelt singing, even though they sound a little bit weaker than ever. I'd like to hear his singing more than ever anyway. Especially I was touched by his comment about LOML and his LOML with so much feeling, which reminded me of Freddie and Brian playing this number on stages. How many times I've wished Freddie were alive during watching this DVD, otoh, I guess if he were alive he would talk little about the meaning of Bo Rhap, ... but anyway those comments of Brian and Roger seem to make up for Freddie's and John's and I felt so happy to hear many comments about Freddie, which seem to be of help for me to get over a sort of sense of loss still coming back to me sometimes and remaining for a while. I think whenever I watch this DVD, I'll be able to enjoy ANATO in many ways, it's been my best fav. album though.
Btw, one more thing...after watching this, I'd like to have their official '70s live stuff such as Rainbow'74, Hammersmith'75, Hyde Park'76, Earls Court'77, Houston '77 etc.etc.... much more than ever.

Sorry Adam but that's a little like saying it's hard to sympathise with someone who hasn't upgraded to Windows XP.
In today's world we buy electronic goods in the certain knowledge that they will be out of date by the time we get home, however that doesn't mean we have to keep rushing out and upgrading just because it's there, it's just marketing departments trying to get us to spend our money.
4 Years is not a long time to expect a product to be useful, so I don't think it's fair to say they should up-grade every few months.
The issue here is the advertising was incorrect in it's statement of contents, so you can hardly blame someone for buying a product that wasn't compatible.
If you are fortunate enough to be able to afford to upgrade every time a new product comes out then great but most people don't do that, even in a company you don't upgrade the computer systems every time Microsoft launch new software, you have to build in depreciation period, if you were to upgrade every time you'd be bankrupt in a very short space of time!
Give the guy a break, a little harsh I feel!
