Daft Punk DVD

Does anyone have this? Is the sound 5.1? Is it any good? What is on it?

Side one:the videos- has one of the best LPCM tracks I've heard.

The videos:
Da Funk, Around the world, Burnin, Revolution 909 & Fresh. Multiple mixes, commentries, makin' of's etc.
No DD5.1.

Side two:
Rollin & scratchin' Live in LA ,choose your angle, with stereo and DD5.1.

The LPCM soundtrack to the videos is better than any DD5.1 audio track I've ever heard.

Shame as the Massive Attack DVD audio is also LPCM and is pretty awful. Flat and cluttered.

The Daft Punk DVD is ace. Shame recent audio disc releases have not lived up to or bettered it.

Agree with everything about the 'Story...' DVD but for me 'Discovery' is one of the few musical highlights of the year although it would have been better if there were more out and out moments of techno madness - new material on the way apparently which is meant to be the dogs b's :D

Shame about the sound on the Massive Attack DVD - this was on my list to Santa and it's already been posted to Lapland :rolleyes: Still the video of 'Teardrop' should still look outstanding, even if it doesn't sound it.

Linear Pulse Code Modulation. It is used to store digitized audio signals.
It is uncompressed audio, can be sampled at 48 or 96kHz with 16,20 or 24 bits per sample. Audio CD is limited to 48kHz.

With PCM stereo the music is scanned at a much higher frequency than a CD standard, thus theoretically sounding better than an audio CD and dolby digital.

Sorry I meant other Audio DVD's by any other bands, not other Daft Punk CD releases.
Discovery had 2 of the best singles of the last few years, and the dance anthem of new millenium!
