Let me commence off on a clear sign, the DVD station contains 47 videos on 2 DVDs. Some suited ones are inexplicably omitted (Dress You Up, Oh Father, Abominable Girl, Fever, This Feeble to Be My Playground, Substitute For Adore, Nothing Really Matters, American Life, etc) but there is a lot of obedient material released here for the first time. The audio is generally reliable. The 5.1 track is not really a 5.1 mix, it is simulated and sounds unpleasant. Stick with the PCM stereo track, it sounds astounding.
I won’t comment distinguished on the whisper of the videos. They are some of the most illustrious and influential music videos ever made. This is classic stuff. With the exception of Explain My Like (search for below) all of the videos are uncut.

Now on to the recount quality…what the hell happened here? It’s not as evil as some people have claimed, but it is Diagram below standard. There are serious compression artifacts throughout all of the videos. Pixellation, smearing, graininess, blotchy color, blurring, interlacing artifacts. It’s all there and it looks dreadful. I am watching the DVD on an upscaling Blu Ray player on a 52″ LCD 1080P television. It won’t glance as awful on a smaller TV, but it level-headed won’t behold enormous. I have honestly seen VHS gawk better than some of the videos. The Immaculate Collection DVD, which was made from a 19 year customary master, looks better.
The jam is that someone made the really, really tedious decision to spend single layer DVDs instead of the industry standard dual layer DVDs. I suspect this decision was made slack in the process to establish a few cents and the program was re-compressed to fit in half the region. There is too distinguished compression and too distinguished relate quality lost. I’ll bet the novel master was for 2 dual layer DVDs and it probably looked very wonderful. It is hard to maintain that anyone at Warner quality control well-liked the record quality on these DVDs. Didn’t Madonna imprint off on a release copy??
I understanding it might have something to do with the age of some of the videos, but the most new ones study objective as awful. The imprint unique Celebration video only looks slightly better than VHS quality. And it is ridiculous that the widescreen videos are not in 16:9 format, even the fresh ones filmed in 16:9 HD are in letterboxed 4:3.
There really is no excuse for this to happen, especially from a company as expansive as Warner and an artist as immense as Madonna. Using single layer DVDs could have only saved them a few cents. On a $30 position, that is inexcusable.
I would strongly suggest not buying this DVD until Warner addresses the state. I assume outcry among the fans will (hopefully) cause Warner to do the lawful thing and release a corrected version on dual layer discs.
UPDATE – One more thing, the video for Clarify My Treasure is CENSORED! This video was widely released uncensored as a video single in 1991 and sold millions of copies. And NOW, 18 years later, it is censored?? Unbiased fabulous.
Also, the Amazon description claiming the DVD has “unedited and never before seen footage of ‘Justify My Love’” is completely fraudulent. There is no original footage at all. In fact, you actually seek less because of the censorship.
If I could split my rating, it would be 4 stars for whine and 1 star for quality.
In the days where MTV is playing pimps being lapdanced by topless strippers, Madonna releases her video collection with a censored version of Account For My Treasure and Erotica.
Once upon a time Madonna swore over and over she would rather execute shows rather than change them or censor her videos.
Well apparently she’s become even greedier with age because the “never seen footage of Define My Like” that was taunted pre-release is nothing more but a shadowy stripe covering the dominatrix’s nipples in the video! And Erotica has no nudity.
So, I don’t understand WHY she is realeasing two versions of this dvd collection, one in amaray case and one in digipack. Who wants that? Why not do something really brilliant and at least do one of those with a friggin’ parental advisory sticker and give the grown-up fans what she knows they wanted?
Hopefully now that Madonna is no longer with Warner Bros they will milk her catalogue like a cow and release everything she’s done and not care about this unspoken rule of “always withhold some things unreleased so we can milk the fans in the future!”.
My balls hit the floor when I saw that dim stripe on Clarify My Adore.
