Search - Sara Evans: The Video Collection on DVD

Major technical problem with this disc

"Sara's wonderful and the videos are great, but there's a MAJOR technical problem with the audio on this disc.



The DVD contains soundtracks in both Dolby Digital 5.1 and Dolby Surround 2.0 formats, but the Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack has the front and rear channels REVERSED. This means the surround information comes from the FRONT speakers and Sara's singing is centered between the two REAR speakers.



Given the price point I doubt RCA will repress this DVD (I can't even find a customer service email address online or on the disc), but you should be aware of this before ordering.



The great part is that the Dolby Surround 2.0 track is the same we've been hearing until now on outlets like CMT and GAC, so the mangled 5.1 audio is no great loss.



I'll leave further comment on the irony of the "Cheatin'" track to a future reviewer..."

How many songs? Titles?

"I was about ready to add this to my cart when I noticed that nowhere in the product description, nor in any of the reviews, can a customer find a listing of the videos included. There is not even a mention of the NUMBER of tracks, nor of the running time of the disc. All this, and the fact that so many people are mentioning the sound problems, means that I am NOT purchasing this, even though I am a BIG fan of Sara."

Horrible 5.1

"I had 2 different copies of this both had the 5.1 DD incorrectly done, the front channels were in the rear on both, it was pressed this way, how can that get passed quality control, got money back on both."

Good visual, bad audio

"Like other viewers before me, I have to agree that the sound is terrible. The channels are mixed up so it's difficult to hear the vocals over the instrumentals and there is almost no low range sound. For the price and for the fact that Sara Evans is so hot, it was worth it, but the sound mix-up loses its 5-star rating."
