 Stained Glass Christmas Blu-Ray Dvd November 2, 2008
This Christmas dvd is top drawer. Incredible visuals of stained glass in churches, woven around traditional, warm, visions of homes decorated in beautiful colors that grab at your rememberances of Christmas` past. The sound is clear, clean, and powerful. The song versions hold true to the standards that we all know and love. No modernized, fast and loose with the melody versions that don`t give you that warm,peaceful feeling that this sacred holiday means to so many of us. If you want to get into the holiday sprit today and for many years to come, then buy this dvd. It will become one more of your traditions you celebrate with your family every year. Happy Holidays, Cheers!

I purchased this for our 2007 Christmas Family Reunion. Wow! Very beautiful! As our guests arrived they were greeted with the lovely music and colorful stained glass photos. We have a 46' LCD 1080 and the blu-ray disk makes everything look so crisp, clear and colorful. It really filled the home with the TRUE meaning of Chistmas. My children who are 7 and 4 LOVED it, not to mention the guests. I highly recommed it. This will now become a family tradition.
 Essentially just a photo slideshow of Chicago area churches. Huge disappointment. December 28, 2007

The glowing praise in the reviews here at Amazon were what prompted me to purchase this HD-DVD. Unfortunately, I cannot agree with it.
The majority of the "scenes" are simply photos that are panned over, not actually video. We all could just do a photo slideshow of our own Christmas photos for the same effect, but with more personality. The small amount of video that is there is shaky and not as sharp as the photos. Clearly not a professional production.
This could almost be looked over if the scenes were of some gorgeous European cathedrals, but all of the locations are in and around Chicago. Definitely not what I would consider "the world's most beautiful stained glass Nativity artwork, holiday scenery and churches". If you, like me, were hoping for shots of ancient stained glass, you won't find them here.
My last complaint is with the bible verses displayed between scenes. I found them very distracting, out of place, overly religious and preachy. Obviously a work about Christmas and art in churches is inherently religious, but I felt this was a bit over the top in execution.
The music is decent. Not fantastic, but enough to bring my score to two stars.
I cannot recommend this title.
Fantastic Blu-Ray title for the Christmas season!!! December 9, 2007

We are playing this disc for about 3rd time - Fantastic picture quality - music is very timely for this time of the Year. Hightly Recommended. I'll be buying another copy for my parents.
Merry Christmas.
 nice hd but not the best November 28, 2007

I've only viewed the HD side of the disc.
Some closeups are finely detailed but overall, it does not have the crispness of, say, Planet Earth. I watched this disc on both a 65" 1080p dlp rptv and on a 106" screeen with 720p front projector.
But it is sharper than a typical sd disc and is just as sharp as many hd movies. So a 4 star for video.
It is highly recommended to play as background for a holiday party and the constant changing of images can hold your attention.
Although 5.1 DD, mostly the front 3 channels are used. Not much lower subwoofer output.
Switching between the Christmas Carols and the Messiah, the video is the same for each of them. And if you change the music selection mid disc, it resumes from the exact video point you left with the other audio. But you would be hard pressed to remember all the visiual images if you played each music track in sucession so it can play for several hours.
The audio plays fine through hdmi, 6 channel input or coaxial digital audio cable but will sputter constantly and is unlistenable through Optical digital audio. So just 2-3 stars for audio as many folks only have optical audio connection. And loses stars for not being in Dolby True HD or DTS HD formats.
It's a keeper for background Christmas celebrations or just for a tour of many beautiful pieces of religious stained glass panels.
