No high-res version of the album. And it will be out in Feb. of 2012.

Roger's explanation for it not being released in its entirety is the fact that it was shot with anamorphic lenses, just as the rest of the movie was. This, coupled with the fact that the band would not enhance the lighting of the live show to accommodate film cameras, made much of the footage dark and murky. It was deemed mostly unusable. Bits and pieces of the more acceptable-looking footage get released here and there as a document of what the show looked like as b-roll with interviews and documentaries, but I seriously doubt Roger will ever let the whole thing be released. Even the "Mother" footage that is being used on the current tour is taken from a single camera, monochromatic, and with artificial contrast highly boosted. It's a good effect for the show, but I wouldn't want to watch 2 hours of footage like that by itself.
