Presented in an aspect ratio of 1.78:1, encoded with VC-1 and granted a 720p transfer, Eddie Vedder: Water on the Road arrives on Blu-ray courtesy of Monkeywrench Records/Universal Music Distribution.

The presentation is near flawless. Eddie Vedder is in the middle of an extremely simple but elegant stage and most of the time the camera is glued to his face. There are no fancy overhead shots or rapid zooming. As mentioned elsewhere, the entire film feels like a taped intimate recital. Additionally, there are absolutely no shadow issues. Motion-judder is also not an issue of concern. The light noise that occasionally creeps into various live concerts that have made it to Blu-ray is also nowhere to be seen (only during the backstage footage, which was obviously not shot in HD, there is some inherited noise and artifacts). Finally, there are no purely transfer related anomalies to report in this review. (Note: This is a Region-Free Blu-ray disc. Therefore, you will be able to play it on your PS3 or SA regardless of your geographical location).
