Summary: A complete disappointment because of poor picture and sound quality
Comment: I had been reading reviews here of this DVD complaining about the poor picture and sound quality, and thought, "it can't be that bad". Well, yes, it IS THAT BAD. My God. It's like a poor VHS Dub. Poor stereo sound that sounds like it could be mono. Another problem: The music that plays under the introduction to China segment and under Tom Brokaw's documentary about China and the torch relay is not the same as it was when it was rebroadcast. They re-scored it! Now, I know they probably didn't pay for the rights to the music they used to be sold on DVD, only for broadcast, but really, NBC, are you telling me you couldn't afford the extra 20 or 30k it would have cost you to secure the rights? It makes a difference! Most people aren't noticing but I DID, because I have the original broadcast from a DVR. The music that was originally used in the broadcast was more dramatic and better! Why NBC didn't release this on Blu-Ray HD disc with Dolby 5.1 surround sound (as it was on television) is beyond me, but this two disc set is a complete disappointment because of what I have mentioned. It's sad because I've seen the Opening Ceremony coverage from Canada, Australia, and Hong Kong and NBC's production had the best direction and camera shots/angles. NBC truly did a professional and top rate job, but this DVD is shoddy! They should never use Ten Mayflower productions again!

Summary: Glorious Spectacle!
Comment: 2008 Olympics Opening Ceremony, the history of China told in all its colorful and soaring splendor, is amazing. The rest of the DVD is the parade of athletes, if you like that sort of thing after seeing it on TV.

Summary: BE WARNED: where's the sound?
Comment: This DVD is a big, big, big disappointment.
The sound from the performers is almost inaudible; imagine watching STAR WARS in a theater, in low volume.

DO NOT BUY,
the best version is still waiting to be released.
