DVD Reviews of 2008 Olympics: Beijing 2008 Complete Opening Ceremony
DVD Review: Since I didn't see this originally, this is nothing short of spectacular!
Summary: 5 Stars
Sound is mixed I will admit, but other than that, this is amazing! My HD TV and upconvert DVD player makes this look 90-95% HD quality. Colours are bright and sharp. Forget about it being complete or not. You're not getting anything better than this. Pick it up!DVD Review: great show but poor DVD production
Summary: 1 Stars
very disappointed for this DVD.
1. Poor piture quality. I watched the open ceremony on HD. The DVD's piture is no where near what I saw on TV;
2. The sound is horrible. This DVD only has 2 stereo channels. How could that happen?
3. It's still not a complete open ceremony. It's just a purely copy of the TV version. And the TV version actually cut out several parts. I really hope that this DVD can make up for it. Obviously they didn't.
I would suggest you not buying it. If you are interested in it, simply go and rent it and you can make you own judgement. I would rather wait for the HD and complete version.
DVD Review: Received DVD today. Video is great!! Audio is a dissapointment.
Summary: 2 Stars
I received this DVD set today. Was waiting to see a great transfer from High Definition to NTSC. That's what I got. The video transfer was super crisp and in letterbox format so we got to see the entire frame. The audio, on the other hand, appears to be just 2 channel Dolby stereo, and sounds more like mono. (My DVD player shows it as Dolby 2.0.) Some passages have a tunnel effect like the 5.1 was mixed to one channel. TERRIBLE!!! I was expecting Dolby 5.1, if not DTS. I don't have hi-def at all, but to me, the audio makes the video!
Come on "Ten Mayflower," the company that produced this DVD set, how come it's only 2 channel and sounds like mono for the most of it??????
I gave this review 2 stars because of the great video transfer, otherwise it would have received 1 star.
DVD Review: "Blu Ray over Beijing"
Summary: 2 Stars
Hopefully this dvd wil be available in Blu Ray version in the near future. Come on NBC/Universal, I know you're pressing now in Blu Ray (since the "war" is over)! It would look awesome in high definition; esp. the amount the Chinese spent on it. If it's going to be released on Blu Ray, maybe it'll have the complete ceremony, beginng and ending - more "space" in high def; also, absolutely in widescreen - I want to see the whole "Bird's Nest". DVD Review: Disappointing.....
Summary: 1 Stars
I just received this DVD, and once again NBC disappoints. Even though the product page states that the running time is 240 Minutes, it is not. The first DVD runs 1:19:46 minus the 15 minute introduction from NBC. The second DVD runs 2:06:00. Anyone that watched the international broadcasts knows the opening ceremony ran for 4 hours+. Hopefully next year we'll get a station that will broadcast everything in it's entirety or won't false advertise with it's DVDs.
