Concert DVDs are truly wonderful. For about the same price as a CD, you get the audio and video from a concert for a mere fraction of what a ticket to the show would have cost you. All concert DVDs are not created equal, and "Pulse" is far from the best or the worst one that I've seen. It is, however, the worst one that I've seen from a band of Pink Floyd's stature. There has been a lot of talk about the fact that the concert was videotaped, and this is certainly a problem. Even on my 36-inch television, the poor quality is evident. The video quality is better than a VHS tape, but not as good as the videotape material from, say, the Led Zepplin DVD, which was taped over 15 years earlier. The sound on "Pulse" is better than the video, but it is not "state of the art," at least not at the 480 bps bit rate. There is a higher quality sound option on the menu; the 640 bps bit rate is new to me. I've never seen it before and it didn't work on my 4 year-old Pioneer 47A DVD player.(There is a disclaimer where no guarantee is made that the feature will work on "earlier" machines.) There is no DTS sound, which, in my experience, usually works well with music and sounds better than Dolby Digital. I'd be curious to hear from anyone who was able to listen to the concert at the higher resolution.
