I think youtube has improved recently, even in standard quality I think the videos look pretty good. So were music videos like Thriller recorded in 35mm and then broadcast in analog on cable networks back then and that was the only way of seeing them? Didn't they used to attach music videos to CDS for awhile? Apparently they had video in CD quality, since they were short they could fit on a cd, I never bought CDs much so I don't know. What about music videos sold on DVD? I have never seen a music video sold on DVD.

Michael Jackson has filmed everything on 16mm or 35mm sense the mid seventies. From every concert he has performed sense the destiny tour to all his music videos. Most are 1.33 but his Movie Moonwalker is 16:9, however it has never been released like that. Oh and he has tons of music video DVD's. I own a few. The quality on History on Film Vol. 2 is pretty darn good. Especially the Motown Billie Jean Performance.

I think the Beatles catalog went into the trust fund that his children got. Remeber he owned more than the beatles, he owned 50% of every modern Sony artist. Usher, Beyonce, Justin, etc. He owned it all.
