Freedom Vol. #1 HD DVD Review

I believe this is the first HD DVD to have the internet feature enabled.

Now I know some people say that the niceties such as PiP are of no interest but this part of the review (IMO) is interesting:

This does bring in some quality issues though as the secondary stream isn't authored to look fantastic as a main stream video. The 3D simulation footage looks solid when it's done at the 3 different sized tiers but when it's full screen on our 70" set you can see plenty of artifacting.

Re: Freedom Vol. #1 HD DVD Review

A bit more information on this release...

I didn't know that this was a twin format disc. Unlike a combo disk where you have the DVD on one side and the HD DVD side on the other. This gives you BOTH formats on one side!
