Format:DVD
There are several great Inauguration DVDs available, with great coverage. However, I specifically wanted this DVD of President Obama's Inauguration because it was from ABC News, AND it included ABC's exclusive coverage of the Neighborhood Ball. No other DVD has the Neighborhood Ball coverage, and I wanted a reliable source to capture Barack and Michelle's first dance at the ball.
They DID include the Obamas' first dance. However, they cut the dance down to one verse of "At Last"!! They SO cheated the audience of this wonderful scene. (Thus, the four stars.)
Other than that, this was a wonderful highlights video of this historic occasion. The extra interviews and other coverage were great, as well.

Disappointed
The quality is not at all what I expected. Also, the DVD was one of two I received which were loose and not secure (free from scratching) in its case.
