Van Der Graaf Generator - 5.1 mixes coming in 2021. It's happening!!

[jefe1]

Im glad I ordered the big box. For the amount of content the price is really reasonable......I preordered from amazonuk so the price was good
This is limited I dont think it will be a problem selling the box later if you lose interest

4ears just manup and buy it. There is a special level in Hell for those who choose lossy over true lossless high resolution.....

Holy Cow! I just ordered the 4 individual DVD-V early today, and Burning Shed just sent a shipped notification.

Around $100 for four compact CD/DVD sets instead of $176 for another big box that won't fit in my closet? I'm happy to reside in that 'special level of hell'

Hell yes! Me too!!! PLus, I don't confess to being a huge fan of the band...so this is an amazing option for me.

LOL!!!!
I ended up doing the same thing for the same reason, and this morning as well. Couldn't believe when I checked back a few hours later and had an email that they are on their way.
I really was on the fence for this release but, in the end, I just couldn't let it pass by.

Does LPCM sometimes appear on DVD-As? I seem to recall ripping the LPCM layer from something. Maybe they were Blu-rays?

Infrequently on DVD-As; most use MLP. More frequently on Blu-rays.

You guys are going to get DVDs with a hole punched in them showing they are secondary
Dont say I didnt warn you

Hopefully the hole is in the middle!

My box set turned up today (a day after FedEx said it was to be delivered, the pony & trap gets slowed down in this part of the UK!), looks like a nice set - yep, straight on the to listen to mountain

I THINK I NEED A BIGGER CLOSET!

 

[Infomas]

USPS just posted that my DVDs are in Los Angeles. Yay. I probably won't see them until Tuesday or Wednesday, but at least they didn't get hung up in international waters somewhere.

 

[halbroome]

Only the bundle is out of stock, the individual sets are there.

Whoa, I lucked out by pre-ordering! Again. I drool Pavlovian saliva now .

 

[Snood]

Crap! in for the 4

 

[GOS]

Crap! in for the 4

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Snood]

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't Make me GOS it & buy it twice!!!!

 

[GOS]

Don't Make me GOS it & buy it twice!!!!

That would be a total of 8 discs. lmao

 

[Stephen W Tayler]

wow!! Wonderful screens and BluRays created by Ray Shulman!

A warning to anyone thinking of getting this who may have previously had problems with Gentle Giant 'Freehand' Bluray.

Once again the discs are authored (by Ray Shulman) with a JavaScript that means they will not play in many older machines, including some Oppo and Sony players. This is the 3rd time now this had happened (the 1st was Chris Squires 'Fish Out Of Water' also authored by Ray Shulman).

I have a very large collection and only these 3 refuse to play. No problem with the Alan Parsons Project, Tears For Fears etc.

For myself I'm simply not in a position to afford to buy a new universal player to replace my Oppo so I won't be able to buy any Ray Shulman authored discs in future. I've contacted Esoteric and Alucard before about this but obviously either Ray isn't sufficiently aware or isn't prepared to solve this issue going forward.

I've been looking forward to this box a great deal and am totally disheartened that this issue isn't getting resolved.

If the mix is good, it might be worth getting a $15 flash drive and converting the blu-ray to mkv with the free MakeMKV software. Simply plug the flash drive into the usb port of the Oppo. Good luck.

You'll also need a compatible BD-ROM drive for your computer, of course.
