The Beatles - Abbey Road 50th Anniversary (5.1 & Dolby Atmos mixes)

[JonUrban]

From the bottom up.
Toshiba HD - discontinued format and I have about 40 discs that can only play on this player.
Sony 4k- also plays DVD A and Sacd, but not Dolby Vision.
Lg 4k - can play Dolby Vision and Hdr
Yamaha- plays DVD A and Sacd
Oppo- region free and analog DVD and Sacd
Thats my main 5-- a little overkill, but I use them all.
Sony 4k in the bedroom and Panasonic Blu ray in my den makes 7.

Good job on the HD-DVD player. Good stuff, stabbed in the back by the back room deals of Sony

Better menu overlay that music HD-DVD's would have benefited from...

HD DVD! yeay! i loved most of the ones i picked up, even if nobody else did! (i remember the Heroes S1 box set being particularly good)

nice tagline; "The Look And Sound Of Perfect"..

edit: in the pursuit of better than perfection.. i picked up a few 4K Ultra BD's earlier in the year (haven't got a 4K telly yet but just in case this format's axed as well) starting with a couple of all-time favourite movies i just haven't seen in quite perfect enough quality (Goodfellas, Unforgiven, all that Battyman type stuff) but the pandemic soon put a stop to that madness, for which my wallet and shelves are thankful

Blast from the past. I had a handful of those. Had a Samsung universal player, played both HD-DVD and Blu ray. Once HD-DVD bit the dust, I dumped all of my discs and the player in favor of a universal blu ray/sacd/dvd-a machine, might have been a Denon. Still see some HD-DVD at Five Below and dollar stores every once in a while. Too bad someone doesn't make a total solution, all in one universal player that plays everything 5".

It would be a nice gesture, but HD-DVD seems to have been the most rot-prone format of all time.

I've played HD-DVD content on my Oppos, though. Several years back I got an external computer HD-DVD drive and ripped what I could to MKV.

Oppo's didn't play them...

I was able to rip most of my movies but for some reason none of my concert discs would rip. May have been my drive which was for a gaming console of some sort.

No, an Oppo won't spin an HD-DVD, but it will play an MKV created from an HD-DVD rip. Subject to the usual Oppo quirks like refusing to play PCM from an MKV even though it will play PCM from a disc.

I've only just noticed that if you press right arrow on Something you get the option to see the video (in any audio)

After the excitement of being able to buy Let It Be from Amazon UK a couple of days ago for just £31.49 (it's now back up to £68.06), I thought it might be handy if some of us kept an eye on the Abbey Road Super Deluxe release just in case a similar thing happened.

As of now, Amazon UK is offering Abbey Road Super Deluxe for £74.55. But how low will it go?
