You can legally rip the DVD for your own use using software such as DVDFAB and then playback the resulting .iso file using a variety of software. Additionally, some players (e.g., certain OPPO models) can playback .iso files.

I ripped the region locked DVD to MKV and watched it with no issue.
Me, too, using Dune HD 4k to watch!
FWIW, with respect to everything I could have covered in the Piano Man review, I had just donated 3x platelets, plus plasma the day before and struggled to think. 45 minutes of mainly useless footage edited down to 15 or so?
I’m happy the unboxing/eview turned out as well as it did.

Thank You For Your Service (and your Donation of Plasma & Platelets). I enjoyed your feature on the Japanese Import of Billy Joel's Piano Man (although I'm not buying that set).

Never heard of nor know what is a "hardware unlock". And I have no way to do a "rip".

The article in IAA about the new Avalon Atmos mix clearly states that so far it's limited to streaming services, with no mention of even the possibility of a physical release. Hopefully that changes - but if it does, I fear there's a good chance that it will be locked in another bloated box set. Maybe IAA will eventually offer a download.
As to streaming Atmos being lossy, that's true but in my own AB comparisons between streaming titles and BD's or digital downloads I own, in my system (7.4.4 with multiple subwoofers) streaming sounds a bit veiled with less definition, but I haven't noticed a significant deficit in the low end. Since everyone's system is so different it's really hard to quantify. Bottom line, when I listen to streaming Atmos titles I usually notice an immediate improvement over stereo, and I'm not constantly thinking about how much better a physical copy would sound, even though that would be my preference if I had an unlimited bank account. But everyone's mileage may vary.

Expecting my copy of Ziggy this week. Really glad to see the positive reviews on this one. Hopefully we'll see some more of Bowie's 70's output in standalone surround releases.

Best review so far! I have seen most of your reviews over the last four years, and this was the best in my opinion. Great job.
I think it's the black nail polish–great work, as always, Mike!!
