However I must admit my interest in commercial DVD for classical music dwindled when the lazy media companies largely stopped releasing 'pal' <sic> format and adopted a single-format blanket 'ntsc' <sic again> approach, reducing even more the resolution. Crazy situation when even *European* concerts and operas became available only as 'ntsc' when they'd been broadcast initially as 'pal'. In some cases I watched the 'pal' versions evaporate from catalogues as the companies ceased to re-press copies because they didn't want the bother of 'double inventory'. So I tended to get out of the habit, but I'll have a look. FWIW I captured the HDTV broadcast from DVB-T2, but missed the first few mins. So I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a repeat. That'd also be useful as a DVB-T2 vs iplayer comparison. BTW The Peter Grimes has 'enforced' subtitiles so I wonder if this was what prompted the need for the metadata switch. I've not checked the file details, but also am wondering if I can switch off the subtitles.
