VIDEO COLLECTION DVD's with true 5.1 mixes!

[edisonbaggins]

These creeps charge us hundreds of dollars for this stuff. I see np giving it out as a gift to someone if it hasn't been commercially released in the last 10 years.

Feel ya, bruh. This forum just keeps that kind of thing on the DL. Don't want any trouble for the owner. Welcome, btw.

plus this is an upmix. It's a nice one though

I've planned to examine it this evening. That's sad to hear.

Does, indeed, sound like an upmix.

I've now ordered every video set in this thread that seems worth it.

If you need someone to review these, I have literally every single dvd she has ever released. Ever.

I would LOVE to hear your review of Bjork's DVDs! Please post if you are willing and able! Peace

The Tea Party Collection Illumination is really good with the 5.1 mixes.

I wonder if your selection includes any of these titles:
Anthrax ‎– Anthrology: No Hit Wonders (1985-1991) The Videos
Extreme ‎– Videograffitti
Suzanne Vega ‎– Retrospective - The Videos Of Suzanne Vega
White Zombie ‎– Let Sleeping Corpses Lie

I've enjoyed all of them, as they're all 5.1 dts and sound brilliant (except for Extreme, as there was an extreme compression applied, IIRC - plus their 5.1 is Dolby Digital only), even though there's just some upmixing voodoo going on as they share the same credit - "Audio Resync and 5.1 Remaster: Chris Holden". Really curious about what your views would be like!

Hmmm... probably willing to check out Anthrax sooner or later, as they're my boys. Interesting that Holden is credited with 5.1 mix on the Among the Living Deluxe live DVD.
Possibly the others. Thanks for the heads up.

My pleasure. Here's one more I feel like might be right up your alley):
Faith No More ‎– Live At Brixton Academy, London (You Fat B**stards) / Who Cares A Lot? (The Greatest Videos)
All videos in 5.1, although only DD (sorry for the Extreme DVD in my previous post, it's DD only too). The sound is good, and the mixes are definitely different to the album versions, although not really discrete... I'd say that someone was given stems or just was too lazy/not brave enough to actually twiddle the surround knobs. Whatever, I'm just happy to have this. Oh, it's only available as a bundle with the Brixton Academy gig and also make sure that your player can read Region 1 discs.

I didn't remember That Anthrax was 5.1! I will have to crank that up tonight. The mixes are well done?

If you guys dig Motley Crue, their Greatest Video Hits DVD definitely contains some actual 5.1 mixes.

@haikubass - I didn't even know there was a DVD compilation of Suzanne Vega's videos. How are the 5.1 mixes on it?

It's definitely fine sounding, dts 48/24, but 5.1 is not discrete. Yes, you can hear discrete elements, but I doubt there were original multitracks at play. It's similar case as with Robert Plant or Howard Jones compilations. If you want a sample, try Tired of Sleeping or Tom's Diner. Yet happy to own (and play) this.

Alien Ant Farm confirmed. Discrete AF.

I am sure a lot of people on this site has this, partially live and partially video shot outdoor, if you enjoy led zep with a more world beat sound :

Shawn Colvin Polaroids confirmed.
It's the real deal.
