Summary: Great content, grating soundtrack
Review: A fantastic collection of recent and older Filter material and interviews but, and it's a big but, the soundtrack appears to have been mastered poorly with horrendous metallic digital clipping throughout - I hope it ain't deliberate 'cos it spoils the disc.

Summary: A must for any Filter fan
Review: A wonderful collection of everthing Filter. Covers mostly their first album "Short Bus," and its supporting tour. Contains all of their music videos, aside from "Take a Picture" and "Trip Like I Do." But yet there are horrid audio mistakes, not excusable on a DVD, and that fact that much of the great material is taken from the VHS Phenomemology. Get the VHS instead, hopefully they'll do a much improved one for the new album (Summer 2002).

Summary: Linear PCM Audio??? Ugh!
Review: Although the video quality of the DVD itself is very good. The audio tracks are on the verge of being unlistenable. It sounds as if the content was mastered for an internet multimedia release, such as a Real Audio or Quicktime video stream for 128K or lower speeds. Yes, the audio sounds that bad. After returning a copy of the DVD (thinking it was defective) and getting a replacement, only to have the same audio scratchiness coming from my speakers. I noticed on the back of the packaging in small print "Linear PCM". Well, that explained everything right there.Consider this (pardon the pun). A good majority of the material on this DVD was already available on VHS release. Whereas the extra material had been broadcasted on various websites as streaming media feeds. Would it have cost Warner less money to remaster all the extra footage up to at least the standards of the material from the VHS release? Or, to simply downsample the VHS material to the audio format of the additional footage? "...and when the heist was over, I guess I got burned." Both Warner and the band's management should be ahamed of themselves for allowing something with such poor production quality to be released. Unless you MUST have everything related to Filter. I would recommend passing on this DVD and getting the Phenomenology VHS release instead.

Summary: Content is the key.
Review: Content is the key to this Filter release. A hodge-podge of material (some new, some old) is cut together niceley providing an entertaining hour and a half of Filter madness. I was a little leary of this item as it recycles material from "Phenomenology" (which I already own). What I found was that only the "best-of" Phenomenology (at least I think) was cut into the DVD, leaving plenty of space for new material. In particular, The "Electronic Press Kit" which was very cool, as well as scenes with Rich and Geno hanging out in the desert doing crazy stuff with a convertable mustang. Funny. Worth the money just to see that. It's nice to have a copy of the "Welcome To The Fold" video too. I'm curious as to why they included the video for "One", and not "Trip Like I Do". Other than that, no complaints. The still montage at the end is a little lack-luster, but those things always tend to be a disappointment. Glad to have it in my collection.

Summary: unlistenable
Review: Filter is a great band, and it would make a great DVD as well, were it not for the improperly formatted recording and the constant digital clipping. From what I have read from these other reviews, this problem is not exclusive to just one disk. Seems like the QA folks at Warner Music didn't even bother to listen to this one.

Summary: great dvd but....
Review: I finally bought my copy of this DVD last week, and I mean *finally* considering it has been 2 years since it's release, and didn't have a DVD player beforehand then, and I am also somewhat a fan of both NIN and Filter, but anyway, I didn't seem to have any problems with the audio like everyone else, but.... I was disgusted that I was mis-lead to believe that "Title of DVD" would consist of more interviews and material of everything since Brian Liesegang's departure (Sep.1997) up to Title of Record (Aug.1999), basicly starting with everything after Phenomenollogy release, instead I feel that I basicly bought Phenomenology on DVD, I mean, I already have the VHS version release, I'm sorry to slam the DVD like this but I am honest as hell, but I think that only 10% of it is Title of Record videos and material, also if I were Ricahard Patrick I would have waited until I was finished with the live touring of Title of Record that year (Sep.1999 to Late 2000), then announce the release of Title of DVD, that way there would be live videos of the track listings from Title of Record, but poor Richard didn't think of that though :-þ But anyway, I also noticed that the DVD didn't have as many music videos as it should have, both Take a Picture and The Best Things videos were not on this DVD, and not to mention (Can't You) Trip Like I Do was not placed along-side with One (is the loneliest number) video, I'm reffering to the *supposedly* Soundtracks section of the DVD, but thanks to WindowsMX.com I have all the music vids. But oh yeah I forgot the band wouldn't be able to do any of this anyway considering they already consumed most of the available space of the DVD with Phenomenology B.S. But anyway, overall this DVD was OK, the Desert Donuts is funny as hell, and it had Welcome to the Fold video, and the VERY brief but entertaining interview of Title of Record, but like the other reviewer mentioned already on here, if your a DIEHARD fan of Filter you should buy it. Yeah I agree to that, otherwise wait until the release of "Title of DVD part II".

Summary: Horrible self-serving brag video
Review: I guess Richard Patrick's big ego showcased on this video left little room for a decent audio track. The sound quality is almost worst than streaming real audio!

Summary: Can't You Trip Like I do?
Review: I love the band, so I couldn't wait to get the dvd. After a first viewing, I actually exchanged it thinking that I had a bad copy or something. Then I read the other reviews here that told me I wasn't hearing things with the extremely poor audio quality and metallic "clipping". While I love the content and the videos are very cool, this horrendous audio clipping is simply inexcusable with any dvd, especially for a band that uses technology so proficiently in its music. Warner should fix this problem and offer to exchange the bad dvd's ASAP, but of course this will never happen.
