Enjoyment Ruined By Piano Soundtrack

"The DVD sleeve describes this collection as "designed to create sensory-immersive experiences of the worlds most beautiful environments" For me the enjoyment was ruined by the piano sountrack which drowns out the natural outdoor sounds. It's like watching Sunrise Earth with an annoying new age piano soundtrack. There is no way to kill the piano sountrack other than muting all of the sound."

Stunning video. As good or better than the pic on the cover

"Just got a copy of World's Most Beautiful Places, and it is exactly what the title projects it to be. Absolutely gorgeously filmed, Hi-Def locations and landscapes from all around this beautiful planet, expertly framed and edited, compiled here from their other full length disc sets. I played it, expecting to use it as pretty, moving backgrounds, but was captivated to sit and watch the whole thing in one setting. The music is appropriately soft and elegant, along side the background sounds of streams, wind, ocean waves. This disc is easily on par with my other nature disc, Planet Earth, but without all that talking. It will make a specatular "screen saver" in my front room, ever reminding me of the magnificent contrasts of nature's natural beauty. I will be buying the rest of HD Environments BluRay discs very soon, and look forward to their future releases as well. It's a wonderful production that met AND exceeded my expectations, so that is five stars in my book."

Burned in logo

"Some of the video has a burned in logo for their website, in white text. Do not buy this if you're concerned about screen burn-in."

Onscreen ID "bug" sucks -- big time!

"The inclusion of an ID "bug" for the entirety of every other segment mars what would be a very nice disc. What idiot thought it would be OK to use such a thing on videos of "Most Beautiful Places?"



For this reason I cannot recommend the purchase of this disc. They should be giving it away if they insist on using it for advertising."
