First the good news.....go here.... http://koreanrock.x-y.net/Pompeii-DVD/
to see almost 200 screen captures from the pompeii dvd.
now the bad news......there is a very high quality, very readable scan of the dvd cover on that page too..... It is the first real confirmation I have had that the audio on this dvd is only in stereo......it hasn't been remixed in Dolby 5.1......is anyone else as pee'd off about this as I am?

I guess if you have an elaborate stereo system with your tv/dvd you'd be annoyed, but since I don't, that's not a big bother to me. What I AM concerned about after viewing all those images (great...I just wasted my entire morning) is...what's all those space images and did they have to edit out footage of the BAND to insert those? I hope not--now THAT would p-me off!
Hey, it looks like Roger and David are eating oysters in some of those shots....mmmmmmmm...yummy.

I do but it's not an official dolby 5.1 stereo surround sound system, but I do have a man-made surround sound stereo. My computer speakers attached to my monitor are hooked up, and my computer is also hooked up to another desktop stereo, so that's 4 speakers surrounding my computer. That stereo I also have hooked up to my home stereo, which is 4 speaker boxes that are 3 feet tall with 12" woofers, tweeders and midranges.

Honestly, I don't think it would matter
Yes, the Azimuth Coordinator was a big deal, but the source recording was simply not made with that in mind. I would be surprised if we ever saw a vintage recording with surround sound. It would just sound forced, kind of like the stereo mix of TPATGOD sounds forced. I'm just happy to have DSOTM with surround sound and I hope they do the same with the later recordings where the technology used to make them can actually support it.

I have a nice surround system, 5.1 and DTS, and am dissapointed that it hasnt been remixed, but because it has been re-visiouly master it will make up for it. The DSOT SACD sounds great, but I dont have a SACD player so I was a bit disapointed in that, need to get one of those players. Will just for that
