4.0 out of 5 stars Great picture, lack of content., November 2, 2006

I agree with the previous posts that the picture quality is excellent and the music is also very good. The only thing I don't like is that it is only about 10 minutes of footage which repeats, and repeats, and repeats... It is good but I was expecting something a little different with city views, night views, or atleast something recognizable. I haven't figured out where any of the shots are from yet.

2.0 out of 5 stars Video Content Length is Short and Quality is Moderate., January 13, 2007

This review is from: View From Space With Heavenly Music [HD DVD] (HD DVD)

Loops the same video at least 4 times (perhaps 10-13 minutes of footage). I saw this footage in a Discover HD documentary about the space station Discovery HD version was stitched together a little bit more nicely and they corrected some of the exposure problems.

This footage suffers from occasional exposure control issues as the brightness of the earth changes rapidly from desert to snow/clouds. The footage is frequently unsteady and the windows need to be cleaned on the station.

The music is a good collection of freely available classical content. Eight sound tracks at about 55 minutes each. I suspect the video is also freely available open source NASA footage. Music quality is good. video clarity is HD quality.

I would have been more satisfied with a price point of about $10 for this content. At nearly $20 the footage length and exposure quality detract from the overall experience significantly.

Absolutely the most stunning picture I have ever seen, and the music is a well recorded added bonus. This is the disc that I will be using to show off my system, and whenever I just want a truly fabulous picture and sound!
