Peter's review of 'Digital Video Essentials' is up. He says this HD
DVD version of the seminal calibration tool proves to be more than up-to-snuff, providing test patterns and the like in full 1080p video and TrueHD audio. Even better, this retooled high-def edition eliminates many of the navigational hassles that have plagued previous versions of 'DVE.'

Very nice, mine is arriving in the mail today. Looking forward to see what it can do for me.

Yup mine arrived too - all the patterns you need are there. And much much easier to navigate than SD DVE. Still, can't wait to see what AVIA II will offer

I got the disc last week. A very nice effort really. I used in it my 1st and 2nd gen Toshiba player and everything was fine. Using it in my 360 add on player was not possible as the menu for the tools were not available for selection.
I am wondering if it has to do with the fact that my connection is via component cable and not hdmi (only the newer elite system has hdmi.) |

Is it just me or did the HD DVD side content seem a little slow to load once you made a selection?

I wonder about Peter's 2003 release date for the dvd version. I own a copy of the dvd and it was free from Toshiba (along with a t-shirt and a disc of music videos) for being an early adopter for the format, i.e. you had to buy in by September 1997. I remember because my brother and I both bought players, but he waited too long to mail his registration card in, so he missed out.

We knew there would be problems before the disc was released since it was announced from an MS rep that the Spring update would correct the issue. But the Sping update is still 6 or 7 days away.

"'Digital Video Essentials' HD DVD Hits Xbox 360 Playback Snag"
Shock, gasp. We've known this for quite some time now. Boy, talk about a biased heading. Why couldn't it have been "May 7th XBox 360 Update To Enable 'Digital Video Essentials' HD DVD"?

That's what really urks me the most. I hope MS takes another stance on updates affecting HD DVD to not wait till the next dashboard update to fix known issues.

From what I understand, they are. For example, Planet Earth. Log on to XBox live, pop the Planet Earth HD DVD in, and you're prompted to install an update if it has not already been done.

How lame that they can't make every HD-DVD work on only 2 players...

You mean 6 players. The Toshiba A1, XA1, A2, A20, XA2, and the 360 add on. And any other stand alones are rebadged Toshibas. And i guess you also have the Pc HD DVD drives. It's not like BD hasn't had any problems with any discs. I had to get a replacement Chronos BD becasue the first ones wouldn't play on the PS3. There was no update for the PS3 to correct this. The disc had to be replaced. An updated firmware is a much easier solution.

It appears the audio portions are still off from the original DVE. This calibration professional mentions some of the pink noise tests are off, and others are posting that the LFE is still "hot".
