Sara Evans DVD

This DVD is among a few I own that feature Sara Evans.I bought one of this specific DVD here and the sound sucked,so I thought it was just the DVD. I went to Wal-Mart and bought this same DVD again,and it does the same thing with the sound.All of these Sara Evan's DVD's have sound issues,the picture is fine,but there's no sound. Don't waste your money buying this from here because you'll be stuck with it,and the store will only exchange the dvd for the same one and will not give you a refund.So if you want a good DVD of her that actually works get the CMT one...

Sound and Video are very poor

I thought this was a pirated DVD - and still wonder if it's really a Sony / BMG product. I'm taking it back.

Where to begin: on "Born to Fly" the video has visible rough edges on the right side of the screen where the copy it was mastered from is literally worn out, like an old film movie where it's been played too many times.

On other tracks the videos are alternately distorted, like wide angle video shot through a too-small sun shade or otherwise improperly framed.

The color is off, it's red hue, and the audio fades in and out. I'm using a Klipsch speaker system, and the faults are stunning. On the all videos there are noticeable faults where the volume goes up and down, like someone was manually adjusting the gain as recording to avoid clipping - and clipping is still noticeable. Think criminal in a trench coat trying to film a movie with a cheap hand camera and microphone.

I love Sara Evan's music, and she deserves far better. If Sony and BMG authorized this DVD, I hope Sara sues them for negligence.

If this is pirated and somehow got into major US distribution, then hopefully the RIAA or whoever will actually do something useful and chase down the criminals.

In any event, this is criminal treatment of Sara Evans and her talent.

So Sara!

The reviewers criticizing the sound are right: there is a real goof-up with the sound that makes it sound like Sara is singing inside of an echoing cave, especially on the first 2 songs. The situation seems to get better on the latter 4 songs. Anyway, the DVD allows for selection of sound: Dolby 5.1 or Surround. When I chose the one that isn't the default setting, the sound was just fine, completely normal.

Once you get over the sound issues, the DVD is excellent. 6 of Sara's good songs and Sara looks awesome in all of the videos. One could complain that there's only 6 songs, but possibly she just didn't make any more than that. What is here is excellent. Definitely worthwhile for Sara fans to have.

The songs are: Fly, Could not Ask for More [from Fly album], Suds in Bucket and Perfect from the Restless album, and Cheatin [yeah, it's ironic, sure] and Real Fine Place to Start from the Real Fine Place album. Good show, Sara! February 5, 2008
