'Discovery Atlas: Australia' - High-Def Digest Review

[jed]

Kenneth's review of 'Discovery Atlas: Australia Revealed' on Blu-ray is up, and it sounds like a videophile's delight. Boasting near-reference quality shot-on-HD video, Kenneth says this is one demo disc that should bring your friends to a standstill. Alas, the audio and supplements are generally unimpressive, but even if for video alone, this one still wins a recommend.

Ditto. This sounds like one of those HD visual treats a la NIN. But, compression artifacts? Didn't anyone do a quality check? And why wasn't the bitrate then pumped up for the BD's extra bandwidth (relative to the HD DVD) to alleviate such anomalies? Interesting...
