This was a shocker to me when i read on this email image that this 4 HOUR concert will be released on Blu-Ray! only DTS as they say, but still incredible this will be to watch a techno/trance show in BD in surround sound.

This mans music and mixes are incredible and compared to some of the music discs we get this will be a truly immersive awesome experience if it actually happens.

Slap a PCM track on that baby! I'm getting this, I freaking love Tiesto. I've seen him live three times.

I got him to sign my cd "In Search of Sunrise 5" for me when he was here in Sweden playing at a smaller club, very proud of that. Finally Tiesto on BR!!!

SWEET! I'll be picking this up for sure. Also, considering that they called it a Blu-ray DVD I'm willing to bet we'll get lossless audio.

Ive seen Tiesto perform at clubs in LA many times, AWESOME dj, this blu-ray is mine 100% guarenteed! Just wish we got some lossless audio support!! Hopefully its DTS HD MA since it says "full blown" DTS track, i hope at least.

Nice! :cool:

Oh sweet. Please keep us updated if you hear about the release date before we do. I'll definitely be getting this one myself.

Awesome! Huge fan! Although Sunrise 6 wasn't as good as Sunrise 3 or 4, it was still ok. Here's hoping it's DTS MA not, just DTS.

One thing for sure, the bitrate meter will be off the charts with this one.

Sweet!

Great dj.

Saw him in San Fran once by accident. I would pick this up in a heartbeat.

Can't wait to get this. Some more info-

With the news of the release of "Tiesto: Elements of Life" a member of the production company has asked whether potential owners would like a PCM track added to the list of available audio tracks.

Already planned are:
Dolby Digital 5.1 640k
Dolby Digital 2.0 224k
DTS-HD MA Lossless

Adding a PCM track might require the video bitrate to be cutback to accomodate the additional space required for having two lossless tracks, but would allow owners of the PS3 to have lossless audio output to compatible receivers.. whereas DTS-HD MA isn't (currently) supported.

The plan is to release the title as 2 BD25 discs (about 2 hrs video on each) in 1080i.

There is a poll on Blu-Ray forums to vote for your audio of choice. PCM or DTS-HD-MA for me-

http://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread.php?t=32653

I wish they would just go the BD50 route and put it all one 1 disc (all Audio formats and video).

**** Yes!!!!!!!

This would be a title that would get me to finally buy a BD for my PS3. But why two BD25s ? That kind of sucks, I thought the biggest deal about BR was the 50Gb discs.

I would rather get Armin Van Buuren - Armin only though, a better DJ IMO, but then again I'm biased since people have compared my mixing to AvB's.

This would be a title that would get me to finally buy a BD for my PS3. But why two BD25s ? That kind of sucks, I thought the biggest deal about BR was the 50Gb discs.

One theory that I read today was that there are only 2 plants making BD50s. One in the US and the other in Japan. As it is probably a European company making the Tiesto Blu-Ray they may only have access to a BD-25 facility in Europe. In which case :( as I to want a BD-50 so as to not flip discs. But if this is the only way to get it is so be it ;)

Will def. get 1 for me. :D

Freakin sweet! +1 for instant purchase!

I would love to get this as well. I see him everytime he is in Chicago.

I went to the forum and voted for PCM.

I'd rather see a 24bit TRUE HD track with high bitrate video.

Or PCM with high bitrate video on a 50GB disc.

Just give me TrueHD 24 bits on a 50 GB disc and keep video quality high. Why waste space with PCM ?

Yes it is definitely a european production. No BD50 blows, especially when we have been hammered by the "BR is superior" mantra for 2 years already. What would be even more ironic is if they go heavy on the BD-Java and 1st gen standalones took 3 minutes to load each disc or couldn't even play it without a firmware upgrade.

definately getting this,need to feed my inner techno

Cool even though i'm not a trance expert, i didn't realize most BDs were 25GB.

They arent.

hmmm...definitely will pick this up.

I use to be a huge Tiesto fan, but he's become way to commercial and mainstream and I've become a huge House/Techno head...

But definitely will pick this up to re-live my old days of partying :D

PS. From my experience, Trance lovers are not big fans of Techno, and vise versa. They are two completely different genres.

Tiesto doesn't play techno. He plays Trance and Progressive...

Get it straight...

^ What's the difference?

^ What's the difference?

a lot.

pcm track and im in heaven for the weekend

Since it's a BD25 I pray they don't put a PCM track on it. I can live with DTS MA in 1.5 for now. I hope they max the bitrate because they're going to need it for a Tiesto show.

^ What's the difference?


It's like saying Metal & Punk are the same kind of music.

They may fall under the same category of music, but are two completely different streams.

By this title will be encoded in AVC @ 50i

sooo.

Forget it in N/A or Japan or Any NTSC country because even if it's region free it won't play here..

That info was posted by the production compagny on bluray.com..

If it will at 50Hz that means no Blu-ray player in the world will play it, as none of them support 50Hz for Blu-ray discs. They only support 50Hz DVD's. There were supposed to be firmware updates but nothing so far.

Great. I wonder what date it will be out!?

Great. I wonder what date it will be out!?
Amazon UK has listed it for March 24:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Tiesto-Copenhagen-Blu-ray/dp/B0013CUB7G

I assume that means the US gets it either March 18 or March 25.

Tiesto doesn't play techno. He plays Trance and Progressive...

Get it straight...

Before the term 'electronica' came into widespread use, Techno subbed in as the descriptor for the majority of electronic music, and that's still how most people think of it (at least in the US). In that vein, most people would view Tiesto as a "techno DJ," and I would certainly discuss with them on those terms.

It's like getting into a discussion with someone on the differences between Jungle and D&B; no one not familiar with these genres from the outset is going to have any idea what you're talking about.

I brought the "Tiesto - In Concert 2" DVD a couple of years ago and really liked the music but I hated the constant video cuts that the producer thought was neccessary to portait the feeling of a Tiesto Concert. So hopefully there will be some trailers on YOUTUBE to see if they tone down some of the quick flashes of video. I found the DVD hard to watch and I can just imagin what this will be like in HD.

yeah, the edits were really bad, too much cutting and back and forth. Tiesto #1 was done much better.

I have my PS3 set to automatically output 1080p24 so I can play games at 720p and watch movies at 1080 without having to manually change the resolution everytime. (My proj. is native 720, but movies look better when set to 1080, go figure.)

However, my projector doesn't support 1080p24, so it says its displaying the picture at 1080p50...I'm assuming that means it supports 50Hz output, or would 1080p and 1080i react differently?

Actually there are already some 50i Blu-ray discs out in Europe and no one has reported issues with them (other than they were incorrectly encoded at 50i :rolleyes:). But regardless of that most HDTVs in the US will not accept a 50i input. In Europe all HDTVs are required to support both 50i and 60i.


Can you list titles or give a link to 50i Blu-ray discs? I have never seen one.

yeah, the edits were really bad, too much cutting and back and forth. Tiesto #1 was done much better.
You should have a look at the 2003 concert if you didn't like the one in 2004, it's much better I think.

I don't see this on amazon anywhere, is it not up yet?

Entertainment in Video (EiV) in the UK and Dutch Filmworks have been putting out some. The Crow is one I know for sure is 50i.


If they are releasing film based content at 50Hz, then they are stupid. The whole point of 24Hz for film based content is to get rid of 50Hz horrible sound speed up, and get rid of 2:3 pulldown judder. I would never buy Blu-ray film bsed with speed up.

Yeah, the whole world of "electronica" labeling is so convoluted. I've always been into house, techno, breakbeat, drum n bass, (even liked minimalist and psychedelic trance at one point, but I'd never admit to it outside this forum ;)) but I've never been into any of the "progressions" that they spawned. Progressive house, progressive trance, liquid funk... just not feeling it. I've seen Tiesto once to my knowledge and, from what I remember (:p), he only spun hard house and techno. If he plays progressive trance on this BD, I probably won't buy it. I'm sure the AQ will be amazing but I won't like the music so there's no real point in me buying it. If someone releases some good techno or breaks, I'd buy it in a heartbeat. I'd love to hear some sick basslines in DTS-HD MA audio. :eek:

Well, Tiesto's website shows the Blu-Ray as being Region B encoded.

Does that mean we can't play it here on a US machine?

If so, anyone know how to get a player here in the US that would play that?

crap does this mean we cant watch it?

crap does this mean we cant watch it?

From everything I can find out, yes we can't watch it.

Getting a region B player here in the US is absolutely ridiculous in price.

They are missing out on a whole lot of US sales.

Well that's a flaming crock...

I'd totally buy this in a heartbeat but no Reigon A means no Tiesto BR for me :(

So this isn't being released in North America? :mad:

So this isn't being released in North America? :mad:

Not at this point. Perhaps if it sells well enough in Europe they might consider it... but they'll have to do a new encode and do a framerate conversion (from 50i to 24p) so that it plays on U.S. players and monitors.

If I got a PS3 from the UK would it display properly on my Kuro?

damn it all to hell

http://www.tower.com/details/details.cfm?wapi=111867749

you can preorder it here, it says Blu-Ray version and Region 0 worldwide??

Is there any hope?

I preordered mine from http://www.cdjshop.com

Says region 0 as well, although Tiesto's website still shows Region 2 for the Blu-Ray.

On another note, Tiesto's site also has an NTSC version of the DVD now available, so maybe they realized the Blu-Ray should be region free.

I've seen clips of the dvd and the editing is the same as in Tiësto in concert No. 2 :mad:

I didn't notice anything to be annoying or distracting. I would actually go so far as to say it was done with excellence!

Can't wait for the Blu-Ray

It may not be exactly the same or as bad as the concert No.2 as you say but I would have prefered an editing like the one they did in concert No. 1, anyways, I'm planning to buy the blu ray also.

We need to find out who to contact about whether or not this release is region free.

bump,

Any updates?

I emailed Tiesto's website and asked if the Blu-Ray would be playable in America and if not, when it would be released in America and this was the response. Doesn't really clear anything up since the guy admits to "hoping"...

"We hope that our distributors in The States will start with distribution by the end of March/beginning of April. We’re talking both Blu Ray and regular DVD.
Please keep in mind that I’m not a member of staff from the record company so I’m not familiar with every single detail of their distribution/pressing schedules throughout the globe."

region 0 doesn't play in the ps3?

Who is the production company for the EOL BD? Has anyone spoke with them directly as to whether or not they plan on producing this disc in region A format?

Something happening with this release. My order at BlahDVD has been delayed and Amazon.co.uk have removed it from ordering. Hmm.

Looks like it is delayed until April-

Actually your PS3 is Region A for Blu-Ray. Why they have listed it as Region 0 is anybodys guess (as that is for standard DVDs). It should be Region ABC if region free for Blu-Ray playback.

None the less I have a US Region A- Panasonic BD30 Blu-Ray player. So if it works on that then you are good to go. I'll let you know when it arrives. (Better be the Blu-Ray version as per my email above)

Thanks Spizz, look forward to your impressions!

I'm really looking forward to this. Fingers crossed it'll work in Region A players, but it's hard to say since Tiesto's official site says it's Region B. It seems like it would simplify the whole distribution process for a release like this to be region free.

Hi, I bought this BRD last thursday (I'm from Holland). The audio quality is superb! The average bitrate of the DTS-HD MA track lies around ~5,0 mbps. Sometimes it'll go up all the way till 6,2 mbps :D The video quality is very good, majority is in high def with a mixture of some lower quality video taken straight from the dancefloor.

Thanks for the review. Are you able to confirm that it is region coded?

ArjanNL, on the PQ tier thread, in which tier would you put this BRD?

Thanks for the review. Are you able to confirm that it is region coded?

Yes, it says 'Made in Holland Blu-ray region B' on the back of the case. I can't get any region info through my PS3. WinDVD BD also lacks region info.

ArjanNL, on the PQ tier thread, in which tier would you put this BRD?

Personally I would say somewhere between tier 2 and 3. :)

Thanks again novimihai! It looks great :), as others have stated, I'm hoping for a region A version.

Great news. Mine just arrived from Blahdvd and it is Region free.

Just tried it on my Panasonic US Region A BD-30 into my Marantz VP-15S1 and it works :) So it will definetly work on a Region A player.

The picture is a mixture of HD and SD shots from the crowd and it sounds awesome in DTS-HD-MA (Only other audio choice is Stereo).

Obviously this disc is also 1080i/60hz, and not like it was stated before 1080i/50Hz.

The BD30 played it. I only saw judder from one camera in which did they ceiling shots, but I also had my player set at 1080P so it could of been the upconverting from 1080i to that. But why I would of only seen it from one camera? Without at 1080i50hz mode on the BD30 (I know my Marantz VP-15S1 can display this rate) I will never know.

Thanks for the heads up. I just placed my order from a reseller at amazon.co.uk. Total price was £14.13 or about $28US including shipping. That doesn't seem too bad, IMO.

US BD30 does not play 1080/50Hz. While you will see picture it would be very stuttery. That camera was probably remote SD cam and could also be artifact from 50Hz to 60Hz conversion. The concert was shot at 50Hz by Alfacam.
If your Marantz supports 50Hz, doesn't it also display info for source?

US BD30 will display picture from 1080i/50Hz, however it will be very stuttery, basically unwatchable. I have created Blu-ray test discs with 50Hz video on it, to check players compatibility.

Not quite sure how the region codes work...

but this will work on my North American PS3?

okay..i just read through the post.

Just bought it :P

CKNA- Well then it is fine and just that camera as the rest of the picture is perfect. It was also a HD shot. All SD shots were perfectly displayed and intergrated between the HD shots perfectly. All the rest of the HD shots were perfect. My Marantz displays an input of 1080i60hz or 1080p60hz depending on which mode I used on this Blu-Ray. I ended up leaving it on 1080P setting on my BD30 as it was essentially perfect bar that one camera in the ceiling when it does passbys of the ceiling lights (and even then I bet 99% of the people watching this wouldn't pick up this *slight* judder so maybe I am being picky). I was still smiling after having watched Tiesto on Blu-Ray so it didn't deter me.

Just bought it :P

Enjoy. You already know I loved the Tiesto on Blu-Ray experience.

Going to rewatch the concert this weekend :D

so how? i know it could be played on my region A ps3, but the 50i thingy, would it be any probelm?

Strange. Even in the same thread the poster says that the distributer also said it was Region free. Works fine on my Panasonic BD30 Region A US Player. Played it again last night.

Maybe he has the 1080p 24hz option locked on his PS3, then it would not play.

Hi guys decided to pop over here.

Yeh I've got an american PS3 due to the wonderful strength of the sterling and not wanting to wait for release and have to pay £30/$60 per blu ray!

I have the 2.30 firmware thingy, I've changed the 1080p/24hz setting from auto to off

and its still doesn't work, I'm about to reset the whole pissing thing!

Still betting that's 50i stuff and the BD30a just play it while the PS3 is absolutely not 50i compatible in it's US form...

Anyway i have a BD30a and a Sanyo Z2000 will check it out as soon as i get it from the mail, will report HZ and sync

Spizz mentioned above that his Marantz displays an input of 1080i60hz or 1080p60hz.

I'm using LG 42LF75

can't post links since i'm Newbie

^ What's the difference?

a lot actually... but the main difference would be melody. Trance is all about the melody/melof0fc! It moves you to a "state of Trance". Techno is more of feel, very minimal melody. The driving factor are the beats and percussions.

Spizz mentioned above that his Marantz displays an input of 1080i60hz or 1080p60hz.

That is correct.

No it is not 1080i/50Hz. It is 1080i/60Hz. I knew they would not do it in 50i as they would lock them to very small market. 90% of Blu-ray players (that includes PS3) in the world are in US. I suspect that there is a problem with the disc and his PS3 refuses to play it.

Just got an e-mail back from blackhole recordings -



Hi Nick,

you're right (and I was at the time), but after intensive testing we found out it's impossible to make 1 Blu Ray for world territory and have it perform properly on all the players.
We're currently considering a separate Region A Blu Ray as costs per region as fairly expensive. I guess I can send you some stuff to make up for your purchase?

Arny.

I e-mailed back accepting the offer of freebies and expressing the region a desire for the blu ray! Really i should just buy a region b blu ray player!

...after intensive testing we found out it's impossible to make 1 Blu Ray for world territory and have it perform properly on all the players.

Uh, encode it in 1080p/24 or 1080i/60 since its part of the spec and it works everywhere..

I am not sure what a heck are these people talking about. The disc is 1080i/60Hz. They do not even know their own product.

It is video shot so it can't be 24fps. The disc is 60i.

Tell me about it :) Funny stuff.

LOL , this is Customer/Email/Phone Service at it's best. Since when they KNOW thing anyway LOL?

Wow, just saw this title at a friend's house. I just have to ask... how the hell can one sit and watch this thing in it's entirety??? And it's a 2-disc set too. Don't get me wrong, Tiesto is absolutely one of the best DJs out there right now. But really, in order for one to enjoy his set, one needs to be out there with the crowd! Not even a mouthful of E would make this an enjoyable title to watch! Here's a guy who stands in front of a big crowd, spins a couple of tracks, eq in, eq out, crossfade in, crossfade out, nods his head to the beat and occassionally gets backed up by a pathetic lightshow (i've seen better), for FOUR HOURS! Really... did they have to release this as a title? How about something better? How about Daft Punk? How about a DJ playing a set with Ableton Live and some Midi controller? That would be more interesting than a superstar DJ mixing on 4 CDs (I honestly prefer Djing with turntables). Oh well, just my honest opinion. I'm done with my rant.
BTW, I used to DJ and produce House/Trance music in my former life. I've been to raves when it was still all the rage back in the late 80's and early 90's and had been to clubs in NY where I watched a handful of DJ's do their sets (Tenaglia in Twilo, Junior Vasquez in Soundfactory, Van Helden, Morales, and the like). So I guess i'm a bit biased. I just couldn't see the reason why anyone would want to see a 4 hour trance set at the safe confines of their home. One needs to be out there to enjoy such an event like this! Like I said, that's just my honest opinion.

Oh well, just my honest opinion. I'm done with my rant.

I guess *I* just have to agree to disagree with you on the post. Especially the audio side of things in DTS-HD-MA which I thought was excellent. Each to their own I guess.

To me it is the next best thing to being there if you are a Tiesto fan. Luckily I also get to see him live when he comes to Sydney shortly. Would also love to see and hear Paul Oakenfold in DTS-HD-MA.

What player was he using? Was it a PS3?

Like I said, that's just my honest opinion.


I respect that....

I'm like you, I couldn't sit through all of this release at once. I, on the other hand, have seen him live, in San Francisco...it was one of the best club experiences of my life!

I totally can see how this release could sell well for him/them. A lot of fans worldwide.

So I got it yesterday from Amazon.co.uk and it plays flawlessly in my Samsung BD-P1400. The only thing is bass doesn't seem to be very strong on either the DD2.0 or DTS-HD tracks. Seems lighter than the Elements of Life CD on the same system. Since no one else is complaining, I assume it's something in my setup.

Bass is fine here. Denon AVR-4308 and M&K MX-350MKII Subwoofer using DTS-HD-MA.

can someone help here?

I popped this thing in my PS3 here but nothing seems to work?

The movie seems like its loading, then nothing happens and I cant' select any chapters!

AHHHH


I don't know too much about the technical side of this, so don't try and confuse me lol

Here's the TV i'm currently using:
http://www.westinghousedigital.com/details.aspx?itemnum=19

I just want to watch this! I'm not really a big fan of Tiesto anymore, and pretty much only listen to house and techno these days, but this will bring back memories of the good old days!

Btw.. i just got the disc but :

BD30k, Firmware V1.6 using a Denon 3808ci

The disc start, i can see the menu just fine and select DTS HD MA 5.1 (witch sound very nice.. better than the DTS 2.0 remixed in 5.1).

BUT

I get no picture. When i pause and unpause i see a split second of image even with the Menu Overlay. So the disc work because i can see the Menu.

I'am more or less interested by Picture of this show since it's just start when you put the disc in so i'll be using it for listinening in Loseless 5.1 sound anyway but i would like to see the picture.

I'am using 1080p mode with 60i. I try to use 1080i and pass straight trought my display .. but it's the same thing..

So wait, the disc is really 1080i60? So it'll work in a U.S. PS3? And I thought it only had DTS-HD, not DTS-HD MA. Is that wrong, too?

Well i know it work on a BD1400 by Samsung, I know it'S loading and working on my BD30k v1.6 (altought i get no picture from the show itself and only the menu and i don't know why since people here have the same model and it works). Don't seem to work on the PS3 since it hang, there's another person who tried it around here on his PS3 and it doesn't work.

and yes it's DTS HD MA 5.1

Your TV does not have a HDMI input? What are you using? DVI or YPbPr? I received the Tiesto Blu-Ray today and it works fine in my PS3 with 1080i or 1080p...just make sure to turn off 1080p24... My display is Panasonic 50PZ85U. It seems like people having issues have older display models that are not 1080p.

I am using a BD30 with 1.3 firmware going via a Denon AVR-4308 and then into a Marantz VP-15S1 with no issue at 1080p 60hz (also 1080i60Hz was no issue).

Seems the PS3 has an issue playing this title.

Well don't update to 1.6.. because there's no picture ;). There's the Menu, Audio etc.. but 0 video...

:) I haven't yet updated to 1.6 because of all the Audio Drop out issues I read about in the Blu-Ray Player forum on different titles. Hope you get the problem sorted.

In the mean time maybe people should only purchase this title knowing their may be compatability issues as it does not seem to have been fully tested if this many people are having an issue with it.

Players that work-

- Panasonic Region A BD-30 Firmware 1.3 (via HDMI)
- Samsung Region A BD-P1400 (via HDMI) (Firmware?)
- LG BH-200 Region A
- Sharp ? Region A

Players that may not work

- Panasonic Region A BD-30 Firmware 1.6 (Plays menus and Audio but not actually HD video of the concert) (via HDMI)
- Sony Region A PS3
- Samsung Region A BD-P1400 (Firmware?)

Some funky stuff going on.

I have just played the CD and have to agree with you in that the CD in DPLII Music mode on my AVR-4308 has more bass than the DTS-HD-MA track. I would never have noticed if you didn't post this as I was quite happy with the bass from the DTS-HD-MA track. But in a comparison between the CD and Blu-Ray on my 3rd viewing I noticed it the difference. Why did you have to post this as I wish I didn't play the CD now on my HT system ;)

Yeah i wonder if it's possible to downgrade to older FW.. i guess not. I only got audio jump in Enchanted (witch is major sometime) and I am Legend but i hope they release a FW 1.7 to fix those little bug. Fixing LFE in PCM was great tought..

Nope, no HDMI but I am connecting it via DVI.

I tried it on 720p and 1080i but no luck with either one. I also have 24fps turned off but that didn't work.

If it was an issue with the resolution though, wouldn't the BD still play, but there would be an issue with the image? RIght now, when I put the BD in, I can hear the disc spinning for like 5 seconds, then everything stops. I try and change the chapters, however it shows that there is nothing there to watch and no chapter available...

Hey everybody.

No go on my PS3 either, I tried all the different setting and it just hangs.

I took the Disc to my local Best Buy and tried playing in all the players.

On the Samsung 1400, it said this disc cannot be played.
On the Panny 30, it played perfect, video and sound.
On the the Sharp, played perfect as well.

So with this info, I purchased the Panny. Got home and all I get is the sound. No video, same as others posted previously. So I guess the Firmware on the one I got is 1.6 and the one in the store must have been otherwise!

This sucks as I just want to make it work, with the best sound possible.

Anyone have any luck reversing the firmware back to older versions on the Panny 30?

Ok. I ditched that Panny. Went back to Best Buy and put the disc in all the players..

I decided to pick up the LG BH-200. Brought it home, updated to the latest firmware, and viola!

Plays Perfect!

Loads fast!

Even get DTS-HD Master Audio! Was really cool to see my Onkyo 805 light up with that!

I think this is the best solution overall. Just wish the PS3 worked, and I wouldn't of had to go through all this hassle.

So, next Sunday we will view this properly at 0 db.. Yes, 0 db. Thats how it would be if I was there.

Wow you really want to see this Blu-Ray :) I have added all the helpful info you have gathered into the list above.

It is a shame RobertStern that both the Panasonic BD30 (with Firmware 1.6) and the PS3 don't play this for you as they are both a great Blu-Ray player. Hopefully the next firmware for the BD30 will re-enable playback.

Suprising that the Samsung BD-P1400 didn't play this as another poster had success with this player so again it probably comes down to firmware. Did you know the model No. of the Sharp that worked?

As I said before some funky stuff with this title and it compaptibility.

Updated list-

Players that work-

- Panasonic Region A BD-30 Firmware 1.3 (via HDMI)
- Samsung Region A BD-P1400 via component (1.6fw/set at 1080i)
- LG BH-200 Region A
- Sharp ? Region A

Players that may not work

- Panasonic Region A BD-30 Firmware 1.6, 1.8 (Plays menus and Audio but not actually HD video of the concert) (via HDMI)
- Sony Region A PS3
- Samsung Region A BD-P1400 (Firmware?)

Some funky stuff going on.

Not only does this title work in my Samsung Region A BD-P1400 via component (1.6fw/set at 1080i), but it loads faster than about any other BD I've tried.

Where the hell can I find this disc for sale?? Amazon apparently doesn't have it =(

I am not sure what a heck are these people talking about. The disc is 1080i/60Hz. They do not even know their own product.

I recieved the disc today, and as reported it worked in my US Samsung BDP-1400 unit, and not in my PS3. I checked the disc in my PC Blu-Ray drive, and it seems to be 25fps at 50i. The cyberlink H.264 decoder seems to give me funky info when reading 50i discs. It says the discs are encoded at 108fps or some other outrageous framerate. It properly detects 23.976 fps, 24 fps, 30fps (60i), but it seems to give me some strange number everytime I try a disc I suspect is 25fps/50i. Anyhow, I went through a frame-by-frame stepping in MPC and there is 25 frames per every seconds change. I saw no ghosting, frame interpolation or other crap. It definetly seems to be a 25 fps progressive source encoded as 50i.

Panasonic Firmware 1.8 is out and may make Tiesto playable for those whom are on 1.6 and can't play it.

I am going to upgrade from 1.3 to 1.8 and see if I loose the ability to play Tiesto. Fingers crossed.

Looks like I'll stay with 1.3. The Audio drop out issue still isn't resolved on either 1.6 or the new 1.8.

I talked to Tony yesterday at Exploited Cinema. He said he can get it for $30. I was going to order it but I have a PS3 and unfortunately I'll have to wait until the issues are fixed. However, for those who want it and don't have a PS3 just send him an e-mail.

Does any members know where I can download the firmware version 1.3 for US BD-30K? Can I downgrade to this version?I need this version for playback TIESTO Elements of Life BD.

Great Thanks

So where can one get a copy of this Blu-ray in the USA?

It comes up as the very first hit when you google it.
Here's a link to their contact page;

http://xploitedcinema.com/catalog/contact_us.php :D

Thanks. I wasn't sure if they were the same since it's spelled Xploited.

Anyone have this who owns a bdp-s300?

i'd place my order if i could confirm it will play :(

All the Sony players are a no go for this disc.

I emailed Black Hole Recordings, and they respond and said that there will not be a Blu-ray for USA. But Tony at http://xploitedcinema.com/catalog/contact_us.php said he can get one with Region Free but there's still some PAL info on the disc.

BTW, How is the picture quality on this Blu-ray? Is it that much better better than standard dvd to warrant the price difference?

Spizz, are you also able to view the additional contents on the Blu-ray? Is there also an mp3 track of the entire concert?

Although this isn't Blu-ray related, most of us here are Trance and Tiesto fans, so I wanted to point out that CDshop has sample tracks of Sunrise 7 out.

http://cdjshop.com/boredofascribblycdcollection.php?pagez=http://cdjshop.com/cart/product.php?productid=46212*cat=0*page=1

SO its definitely a no-go on PS3s right now?

How disappointing. I waited months for this and it doesn't work on PS3's! I don't think I like Tiesto enough to buy another Blu Ray player just to watch this. Are they planning to fix the issues? Is the sound quality much better than the regular DVD version?

thanks for the screenshots plonk! Makes me want it even worse! Too bad I have a ps3!

just rip it and play on HTPC, if you have one... HD3000 or GF8000 series and Media Player Classic Home Cinema (well, wait, that's if it's AVC). otherwise you'll need a beefy machine... :S ...sure wish *i* could afford the AnyDVD HD upgrade at the moment... :(

edit: it IS AVC
edit2: i can't take credit for the screenshots :)
edit3: you'd need a ps3 (or bdrom drive to rip it in the first place, i guess)

anyone update with this?

What update do you need?

Does anyone know if it works with PS3 after the last FW (2.36)? Thanks.

What update do you need?

If this will work on North American PS3s yet...

There was an update, (as mentioned above) to the PS3 OS and was wondering if that did anything lol

I'll test it out later I guess.

Any word yet if this will play on the PS3 after the updates recently? I'm impatient!

Panasonic BD30 2.2 firmware is a no go. Lucikly I have a Samsung BDP1500 Region B player on the way.

Looks like I need to borrow a friends BD player, since this wont play in my PS3.... If there ever was an excuse for ripping a disc, this is it... :)

Also try cdjshop.com

i can vouch for this place's legitimacy :) ... ordered a few times before i discovered beatport's lossless audio tracks. shipping from europe hurts! (but i think this one was a little less than the average)

Most US Blu-Ray players won't be able to play Tiesto: Elements of Life World Tour.

The Blu-Ray is region free but the screen format is 1080i/50 (just checked on my Dutch PS3 and HD1). I doubt if any of these players (including the US PS3) will ever receive updates to playback 50Hz source material.

Anyone with contradictory information on coming updates feel free to post.. ;)

That is quite correct. I can verify that the disc is indeed 1080i/50, I checked it on my computer. The US and the European PS3 share the same hardware, so it's clearly a firmware issue (by design no less). There is no reason why the US Playstation 3 shouldn't be allowed to play 50hz material. Hopefully this will be remedied by a firmware update down the line. The US Samsung BDP-1400 plays the disc without a hitch. It clearly follows the Blu-Ray specs which 1080/50i is a part off. Hopefully other vendors will choose the same compliance in the future.

Hi, i'm new here. My name is Fabio and i'm from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

I want to buy this bluray, but I am afraid because my ps3 is American.

I have searched the Internet about it and thought this topic here.


For users who have the ps3 American and failed to play the disc, there one hint:

Try to change the region of bd player to test whether the disc works.

To change the region, it is in: security> BD / DVD Parental Control Region Code.


I do not know how many times the person can change this, I am only talking to someone tested.

If someone works, please say here :)

I was a "raver" in the 90s. I don't particularly care for "concerts" of superstar djs mixing on anything other than tech 12s. However I am curious to hear the music in 5.1 DTS HD MA. I think I will order it from dvd.co.uk. I have a PS3 and BH200 boxed up. I should at least be able to hear it with my PS3 right? If not I can always setup the BH200 to play it right?

Did some research in BluRay and region coding and found no issues, so I went ahead and ordered this BluRay. Was VERY dissappointed when I found out that it would not play! Took me a long while till I found this thread and then I was even more upset. I'm in Canada, with a PS3 in an NTSC setup.

Anyway, I didn't want to sell it or send it back, so I did a little research and was able to get it working this way (based on http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/701752):
- Ripped it onto my PC with AnyDVD HD and an internal BluRay drive I borrowed from a friend
- Demuxed the sound and video
- Took the DTS sound and using EAC3TO converted to AC3
- Remuxed the AC3 with the video

Took me an evening to figure it out. Effectively replaced the DTS-HD sound with AC3. But now I can stream the video onto my PS3 without problems. It's not ideal, but at least I get to enjoy the concert I paid for. Long-term, I'm hoping Sony will fix this issue, or eventually (5 years?) it'll happen that a 30$ BluRay player will play it, at which point I can enjoy it in all its glory.

Supposedly the new 2.50 update adds the option for 50Hz output under Video Settings but I haven't been able to find it after updating. Anyone else have any luck finding it and tried with the Tiesto Blu Ray yet??

I found the m2ts file from the BD disk 1 and am playing it right now on my PS3, not sure if it's the same idea though.

I should mention the sound is only coming out as DD 2.0 though, not sure why.

On the 50hz thing you mentioned.. it seems like if the PS3 is connected via HDMI it sorts it out for you.

does this work on PS3 yet?

The video seems to be in 1080i 50hz, the menu is in 60hz or just a layer. on the panasonic BD30, FW before 1.6 were able to play it,when they did 1.6 they scrapped the 50hz playback on the US machine and now it's only music.

It crash on the BD350 from sony also.. not even the menu work..

I too want to know if this is working for the panny BDP35 or Sammy BD1500. I'd love to pick up this bluray!

Wow that really sucks, you wouldn't expect them to take features away with firmware updates. I'm glad my Samsung 1400 is good for something as it'll still play this.

Perhaps next time they do a Tiesto BR, they won't film in 1080i50 so it's more universally compatible.

I'd like to know this too. I'd love to have this blu-ray.

Does anyone know if Pana BDP35/55 or Samsung 1500/2500/2550 can play it?

Working fine here on my Oppo BDP-83.

The Samsung 1500 plays it perfectly :)

Been looking to pick this up but can't seem to find it. Anyone know of where I would be able to get this still?

Also interested in finding it. Searched a while back for it and never did run across it.

Black Hole Recordings sells it via http://www.dobuymail.com/blackhole//product_info.php/products_id/603

Do you know if this site ships to the US and if there would be a surcharge using a paypal or a credit card for the currency exchange? Not familiar with ordering from overseas.

Edit: Hm, this one is Region B too. Would it be playable on a PS3?

Awesome! Just ordered from blahdvd. Hope it works. I've got an Oppo though, so if not, I'll just use the region-free firmware floating around.

So is that the final word, that it doesnt work on US PS3s?

Yes it works on the Oppo as it does on mine :D

Can anyone comment on that please?
I would love to get this if it does work on NA ps3's!

Yes it works on the Oppo as it does on mine :D
Is that a U.S.-spec Oppo? :)

Is that a U.S.-spec Oppo? :)

Yes it is.

For those still looking for copies I spotted that Amazon.co.uk still has them.

A shame that no more dance Blu-Rays have come out from other like Paul Van Dyke, Oakenfold, etc :(

Wow! I missed this thread for so long...

Very interested in picking this up but will this play on a Panny BD55? I don't have a PS3 or Oppo in my house.

Its not a concert but Berlin Calling (http://de.blu-ray.com/movies/Berlin-Calling-Blu-ray/8029/) is a German movie about a DJ.
