Technical total failure

But its technical quality is not able to allow only 1 star.

First is surprising why there is no version with a Blu-ray of the concert film. Surprising because it Notwithstanding any other statements are an HD version yes.

This was at the movies and is also offered on iTunes for purchase. And surprising because the Boxset quite evidently is aimed at owners of a Blu-ray player, for it is a Blu-ray with the 5.1 mix of the last studio album with the Delta Machine Set.

One can therefore say that owners of a BD player, the high-resolution film and deprived owners of a DVD player to the 5.1 mix of Delta Machine, because that could have been pressed on a DVD in DTS.
This was known prior to the purchase, which does not mean that it should not be criticized.

But what touches top it all is the image quality of the DVD technology.

Because DVDs can also upscaled to large flat panel displays or screens look reasonable. The best example: Touring The Angel Depeche Mode.

Live In Berlin, however, is to create only one master world have, as opposed to just Touring The Angel, in NTSC, the US television standard SD before, and which is not (yet) dissolved less than the European PAL. Where Europe and Germany in particular are the main market for Depeche Mode, but only at the margins.

This means that the picture largely heavily pixelated. Close may sometimes still go, but once it goes into the long shot showing something on the edges of the musicians and the instruments permanently unsightly rows of pixels.

Yes, I am a pixel counter, which looks 2.5 meters in front of a 65 TV. And so, who in front of a 32-TV peeps 5 meters, which will possibly not be noticed. Now, however, for a large diagonals and close seat distances no longer a rarity, and - this is crucial - that it does not really stand some fact remains that the technical quality of the image is objectively bad.

Objective because follow similar DVDs as precisely Touring The Angel, incidentally still leaves you with additional DTS soundtrack, which miss Live in Berlin, look much better on the very same player.

This is - plain in 2014 to little - even for a DVD.

In addition, those who smile at the techies and the oh so great great praise image quality, keep in mind that they too will not be keeping their TV forever and the next device fails any bigger.

The boxset includes another 2 audio CDs and audio Blu-ray. They are also well done. But: It is just "Live in Berlin: A film by Anton Corbijn" and focuses on the film. Therefore, there can only be 1 star in spite of the successful audio discs.
