Do you have it, and you watched it on your TV and thus you know it's of low quality video?

Yes, I have both. I got the one on the right accidentally and was horrified when I tried to watch it the first time. It may look good on an old CRT tv but it upscales terribly to HD.

Here is a frame grab from each version. View each at original size to compare.

French version: Resolution 1024x576 16:9


Other version: Resolution 720x540 4:3... letterboxed.

OMG, that is really terrible.
So we must be very careful what to buy?

Btw, did you guys know that the En Concert was filmed in the HD TV technique, but at the time the Blu-ray disc wasn't invented yet, so it was published on the DVD as the Standard Definition TV picture which is a lower resolution TV picture suited to those old CRT TVs?
It'd be great if one day we get an opportunity to see it in the original HD TV video quality it was filmed in.
