Patience with me is never an issue. I just needed a sanity check. Thanks for the heads up. And I'm sure that the Blu-ray version will eventually be my go-to format.There will be a version that actually works available somewhere.....

Que "Redemption Song" :banana:
On an unrelated note, I'm having trouble playing this DVD-A on my stand-alone player which plays pretty much every format (DVD-A, SACD, PAL, etc.). I tried burning the AUDIO_TS folder as a Data Disc, then I tried again adding an empty VIDEO_TS folder, then I tried burning both as a DVD video and nothing seems to work. Any suggestions from those who were able to successfully play this?
The film was shot on 35mm so the correct aspect ratio is indeed 4:3. If you saw this in any sort of widescreen format in theaters then the top and bottom of the image was masked off either by the projector or matted curtains on the screen. Standard practice back in the day. The 4:3 60 min bonus version on the DVD (performance only) is the the correct, full aspect ratio. Hope this helps.My question, if you can answer it, how does the 35mm CinemaScope print differ from the all the Video versions released in terms of aspect ratios? I remember seeing this in a movie theater in 35mm. When I see the 4:3 Video, that seems like the theater print I recall seeing a long time ago, except that the sides are cut off and blacked out to fit it to 4:3 Video. The Director's cut seems to try and get the letterbox back by zooming in on the 4:3 Video.
Thanks for the tip OQG!Use ImgBurn. Burn as "write files/folders to disc" and choose the "Pink Floyd - Pompeii 4.0" folder where the AUDIO_TS is inside. You will get a couple of window pop up's, just click yes and yes and we're good.
BTW - before queuing up "Redemption Song" try comparing "Echoes, Part 1" from the Director's DVD and this DVD-A. You'll find pitch differences. The DVD-A directly from the film sounds at the right pitch.
It's not a game, it's about getting the facts right. And no need to get defensive. I was just proving a point that was brought into question by another forum member (grill). Apologies if my sense of humor did not transfer well here.This is also not a game of "who's right." I don't claim to know anything, just asking for info.
Thanks for the tip OQG!
And my joking Redemption Song comment was in regards to my statement that the original negatives and interpositives were in fact NOT lost and used for the transfer for the DVD, a point that seemed to still be in question. Speed problems seemed to be historically obvious.
It's all good, mate. I always appreciate your posts on this forum.It's Cool. And I want to thank you for clarifying the issue.
Worked like a charm. My new best friend!Use ImgBurn. Burn as "write files/folders to disc" and choose the "Pink Floyd - Pompeii 4.0" folder where the AUDIO_TS is inside. You will get a couple of window pop up's, just click yes and yes and we're good.

I like that program and BurnAware.ImgBurn is gradually winning me over from Roxio, ImgBurn just works without bells and whistles.
First off, that post of mine is a little misleading, and I've since gone back and revised it. Of course the DVD was sourced from an authentic film print (the original negatives, in fact!), but what I meant to say was that the master didn't run at 24 fps, the traditional film frame rate."In the case of Pompeii, a PAL source instead of an authentic film print was used for the DVD (as well as previous releases of the film). So since the NTSC version was transcoded from a PAL source, not only was the speed kept intact but a 2:4 pulldown appeared as a result. There was also some quality lost in the process."

The audio on our print was laid out as such:Another question, if it's ok to ask, is how was the audio laid out on this print?
It used 4 discrete channels and was not "matrixed".Forgive me for asking what might be a silly question (i've only just taken note of this thread), Was the quad soundtrack utilising all of the four audio/control tracks, or was it matrixed in someway?
I was a bit hesitant to post these links but they should be okay since they do not point to the download of this material but rather pertinent information that many here will find useful.Thes two posts claim to be by the person that did the transfer, and they claim it really is 4 track quad with all the non standard issues I listed above.

I hope posting links is OK on QQ. Seems the best thing to do to me since it shows where the pages really came from.
