IT by Phish is in 5.1 and widescreen. It also happens to be one of the best music DVDs I've ever seen. It's put together extremely well, shot spectacularly...just a grade A effort all around.

I did think it had the 5.1 info on the back of the box, but I could be mistaken...

Rypro I totally agree with you on this one. I have at least a few that I'm not totally sure about.

Even worse is when they do put info on the back and it's wrong. I bought Sade Lovers Live in part because it listed DTS on the back and I love DTS DVDs, but there's no DTS track on the disc.

Yeah, it would be great if they did this. I bought the Aerosmith DVD for my wife for Xmas hoping it would be in widescreen to fill our 60" HDTV. No such luck. No technical info on the back of the DVD and I couldn't find a review for it anywhere. So I bought it anyway and wound up disappointed.
