DVD Reviews of Vol 10. Florida Beaches / WAVES: Virtual Vacations + Vol 9. Caribbean Daydreams
DVD Review: Almost perfect
Summary: 5 Stars
This is overall a very nice disc. Unlike other similar discs I have purchased, there is no poorly synthesized music distracting you from enjoying the natural feel of the beaches. The beaches are pristine and truly give one the feel of "being there." The waters are luminous, the compositions are pleasing, and the photography is excellent. I do recommend this DVD for anyone who is looking for a living wallpaper to bring a bit of the tropics into their home.
There are a few details, however, which I feel would make this video perfect.
First, the aspect ratio is for a "standard format" television, which means that on an HD or other wide-screen TV you are wasting a third of your viewable screen on a video which is all about the view. This sort of video in particular would benefit from a wide aspect. You could adjust your settings to stretch the image to fit, but the distortion this causes can be distracting.
Second, I find that there are a couple of scenes which are my favorites, and I would like to be able to loop them over and over again. One side allows this, the other does not. I don't like having the beach change to another one while I am in the middle of enjoying the atmosphere. Being able to individually loop all of the scenes would be a big improvement.
Along these lines, when scenes change they are introduced with superimposed text. It is nice having this option, but it should be just that; an option. It would be great to be able to turn off the text. If you have watched the disc more than once, you don't need it anymore and it interferes with the serenity of the natural scene.
Last of all, not really a criticism of the production but rather of the format, obviously it would be nice to have this sort of thing available on Blu-Ray. Not only would the increased resolution be a huge improvement, but as mentioned above the aspect ratio would be better as well. My eyes keep getting annoyed by the lack of resolution in the waves, the inability to see what a bit of flotsam or sea bird might be, etc. To date, the only comparable video released on Blu-Ray by this production crew showcases Hawaiian beaches. I do like Hawaiian beaches, but my heart is in the Caribbean. I hope these producers make a Blu-Ray quality release containing Florida and/or Caribbean Islands beaches soon. I will keep checking back hoping for this to happen.
