Subject: [SurroundSound] Re: PF Pompeii 40th Anniversary Edition
Hello Sam! Thank you for your valuable input. I wish you full success in this grandiose project. Regarding blu-ray imo that would be the most appropriate format. Blu doesn't only mean HD video but it can deliver lossless HD audio, too. Also, blu-ray format fully supports SD (aka DVD) video resolution. So I wish you could do such a blu-ray release.
