Summary: Galapagos HD-DVD
Comment: Being an overseas buyer I found I needed extra information
on DVDs formates I have now found HD DVD needs a special player
and that a HD- DVD cannot be played on my DVD player HDMI
Extra information is required on the avability of the
players needed. and particulatly life of HD-DVD

Summary: this DVD never worked
Comment: I ordered this DVD and it was delivered while I was on vacation...when I got back late November I did not play it right away. I have to say I never had any problems with DVD's that I have order so I did not hurry to play this one...my fault...because it is after the 30 day period and I can't return a DVD that does not work...at all. Now I am stuck with this DVD...
Also the site they tell you to go to,to download updates to play the DVD, does not exsist. This information was INSIDE the DVD plastic box, so you could not know ahead of time about getting new updates to PLAY this DVD...how strange is that? I would not buy it.

Summary: incomplete specs
Comment: This may very well be a great cd but it would of been a nice guesture to add the fact that it requires a hd player in order for it to work at all,for an electronically challenged senior citizen like myself.

Summary: Caution: Amazon is shipping wrong region on this DVD
Comment: I've purchased this DVD twice in the last 8 months and both times received a DVD encoded for region 2 that would not load on my HD DVD players here in Oregon. Amazon custoemr service notes say "plays in all regions" -but I'm 0 for 2 tries on 2 differnt HD dvd players.
The material is fabulous - but they gave me a refund in lieu of the desired region DVD.

Editorial Reviews:

The inspiration for Darwin's theory of evolution, the Galapagos Islands are a living laboratory, a geological conveyor belt that has given birth to and seen the death of many species of plants and animals. As the western islands rise up from the sea offering a chance of life, the eastern islands sink back beneath the waves guaranteeing only death. Between the two are the middle islands; fertile, lush land in its prime that contains an incredible diversity of life. Nowhere else on the Earth are the twin processes of creation and extinction of species so starkly apparent... see it all unfold before your eyes in this stunning series filmed entirely in high definition from the BBC and the National Geographic Channel.
