Customer Reviews
Start up HD-DVD
Looks great and if your into space then so much the better. Never had a problem with it at all. Played it in my Xbox 360 HD drive. Worked great and wowed the family.

beautiful music, beautiful scenes
For a music lover like me this is something highly enjoyable, the views from space are impressive. It would have been a full 5 star if there were no scenes repeting.

worthwhile
A View From Space With Heavenly Music is the only thing I play when I want to show off my HD DVD player. The pictures and music combined enhanced this experience.

Space Shuttle Astronaut Comments
I attended a lecture featuring Dr. Larry DeLucas, space shuttle astronaut, as a guest speaker. I purchased A View From Space after Dr. DeLucas used this high definition dvd from the Space Shuttle Endeavour in his presentation. He described the dvd as, "Vividly bringing him back to the awesome emotional aspect of watching the Earth from space."
The scenery and clarity is stunning and has a variety of classical soundtracks to choose from...a great buy.

Video Content Length is Short and Quality is Moderate.
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.
