Coming to both formats, this will be composed of live concert footage (shot in HD) from their last tour. I tried playing the 1080p teaser, but my computer gave up. :D Downloading the 720p teaser to try that.

Sweet is there a release date?

Early 2007 is all it says

Sweet! Definitely going to buy this! Love NIN!

Ditto! :eek: :eek: :eek:

Wow will have to pick this up as well. Takes me back to the old school. Maybe in HD I will actually be able to see something this time. Seen NIN live about 20 times and they are the only band I have ever seen use so much smoke on stage that they actually made the stage invisble in an outside ampitheatre at 3 in the afternoon. The rest of the times there may have been other umm "influences" that made them hard to see :) Best show for them that I saw was NiN and Peter Murphy (from Bauhaus) at a small thatre in Washington DC that held about 500 people tops...And that was ohh about 1990 or so (those years are a bit fuzzy :)

Sweet! Definitely going to buy this! Love NIN!


Awesome, I'll be buying for my PS3 :p

Can't wait!

I can't wait. I'm a huge NIN fan, saw the last tour twice (one with a soundcheck and a meeting with Trent...I'm a Spiral Member ). Glad to see the "Beside You In Time" HD release...I can't wait. I'd upgrade to 1080p right now just to watch this disc.

I agree in expecting no less than top quality in A/V...Trent seems very particular with this...The last DVD has an amazing and powerful sound mix...and awesome video from only SD-cams...it looks far better than most other concerts brought to DVD that claim better cameras...

The release better have lossless audio...I imagine it would.

Also, I really hope "...and all that Could Have Been" concert will get a new BD/HD-DVD release with lossless audio, even though the video will never be better than 480.

How about adding in "Closure" too...ummm...when oh when will that release ever be untangled from legal limbo??

Ok...and to the wish list also add the whole Woodstock '94 performance since it was shot in 1080i HD.

NIN just put out an HD FAQ on their new HD DVD & BR title!

http://halo22.nin.com/hdfaq.html

Looks like the BD title will have the edge in terms of PQ and angle viewings


Are there any video quality differences between the HD DVD and Blu-ray versions of Beside You In Time?

For all intents and purposes, no - the video will look every bit as good on either version. Technically speaking, the video quality of the Blu-ray version has a slight edge over the HD DVD: It was encoded at a slightly higher bit rate due to the Blu-ray spec's higher bandwidth capabilities for encoded video streams. However, this difference is nominal and would only be noticeable by a pair of well-trained eyes on an extremely expensive professional 1080P monitor.

How do the alternate angles work with the three different formats?

A second angle is presented during Eraser, Right Where It Belongs, and Beside You In Time, allowing you to watch the projection screen imagery uninterrupted. However, because HD DVD and Blu-ray were still new and developing technologies at the time BYIT was created, the alternate angles do not work the same on all three formats.

On the standard DVD, pressing enter enter during the three songs will toggle between angles. You can also use the angle button on your remote.

On the HD DVD, real-time angle switching was not possible, so the alternate angle is included as a standalone feature.

On the Blu-ray, an option to toggle the angles will appear on the pop-up menu during the three songs. Most Blu-ray players will display a multi-angle icon when multi-angle content is playing. On many players you can turn this icon off in the set-up menu.

I picked up my PS3 last night in anticipation of this disc. I knew I would eventually buy a PS3 anyway - this put me over the edge.

Dolby TrueHD 5.1 in both formats!

THE RELEASE DATE: Febuary 27th 2007. It says so right on the teaser trailer, the new site dedicated to the release is up. I converted the teaser trailer to go on my PS3 and I have been watching it, there is a new clip up from footage.... this is going to be awesome, I was at 3 different shows on this tour... amazing.

That FAQ rocks. Every title should do this.

Hell yeah! Gotta love Trent for making sure they actually used the extra space!

There was no extra space, they used a BD-25 vice a dual layer HD DVD. They just used some of the extra bandwidth.

How about adding in "Closure" too...ummm...when oh when will that release ever be untangled from legal limbo??

Closure has been leaked and can be downloaded off the web. Trent said it was a "Christmas" present that he didn't feel any guilt at all about leaking. You can download Disc 1 and 2 in their full glory from a few different torrent sites. Trent mentioned it in his blog on The Spiral.

Thanks for the heads up on the Closure disc. How is the quality? Is it 16 x 9?

I wish they used a BD50 for this. It would have been something to see VC-1 at 40mbs.

Absolutely amazing FAQ!!! Sometimes you feel that this sort of information is top secret from studios!

My only disappointment is that the BD multi-angle seems to be via a inline menu rather than a button, doesn't BD-J/BDMV support mult-angle in the same way as DVD? I'd much prefer to press an angle button than to muck around with a menu

Thanks for the heads up on the Closure disc. How is the quality? Is it 16 x 9?

Unfortunately no. It is basically a cleaned up port of the older VHS release, though it does look better. The menus sound AWESOME, just like AATCHB did, but all of the audio is in stereo, no discrete 5.1 mixes.
