and how many TV owners have a widescreen TV in Latinamerica ?

Does that matter? Widescreen is not a gadget anymore... Is a common thing these days...ponkine said:and how many TV owners have a widescreen TV in Latinamerica ?
jag0918 said:BTW ...anyone have any idea why Tryin to Throw Your Arms was cut from the official release? I think its because the girl Bono brought up onstage was butt ugly. LOL
If they'de want to cut the DVD short to 2 hours I would have choosen another song... Tryin to Throw Your Arms was one of the highlights of the Zoo-TV tour...ponkine said:several things have been written about this:
The most popular one is that the girl was obviously under legal drinking age. Other ones say because the band and the record company decided to edit the concert strictly under 2 hours

I find With Or Without You the weakest song of the DVD... The anti-climax of the show... Luckely Love Is Blindness makes up for that...

So I guess that when even a very visual band like Pink Floyd prefers showing their DVDs in the original aspect ratio, then there must be something to it.
Popmartijn said:This morning I saw the Pulse DVD by Pink Floyd. On the back of the case it stated clearly that is was restored and presented in its original aspect ratio of 4:3. This was a concert filmed in 1994.

Because of the argumentum ad verecundiam (Pink Floyd says it so it must have great value!).Popmartijn said:
And why is it a terrible example?

Actually it IS an argumentum ad verecundiam. It doesn't need to 'say my opinion is stupid' to be a logical fallacy.Popmartijn said:That's not an argument ad verecundiam. While it is true that my argument centers around my opinion that when another visually demanding band has tried and decided to stay with the original aspect ratio that there must be some value in it, I am nowhere implying that it automatically means your opinion is stupid. But it is another opinion to throw into the mix.
If you open a thread by saying you "can't be arsed to look" whether there are existing threads about this, you can expect unhelpful replies...NamelessStreets said:No need to throw teddy out of ur pram Walkon21.
The trailer from the Boston DVD is not a remastered version of the original... The final release will be even better!waynetravis said:i saw ZooTV on tv in a home electronics store yesterday!!
i was looking at some computer parts and i just glanced over to the tv's and i saw the ZooTV stage on a huge widescreen HD tv!!
so i walked over to have a better look and it was playing the end part of the intro where Bono is infront of the screen and a few seconds of Zoo Station.
it was on a loop playing this part over and over.
i asked the store clerk where he got the DVD from. and he said they were playing it ahead of the DVD releases, so i asked if it was a promo disc and he said no.
i completely forgot about the ZooTV trailer on disc 2 of the Boston DVD, that's what they was playing over and over.
not sure what aspect ratio the trailer is on the Boston DVD, but it looked great on the widescreen.
