Great High Definition Title! Buy it...

This Blu-Ray disc although not 100% 1080p, is an outstanding production. I saw the 1 star rating in here and had to comment. What a waste of web space and also of people's time! Although this title was mostly shot pre 2000's, the 1080i clarity is awesome. I loved it! The scenes shot in the southwest of Las Vegas and Arizona are absolutely phenomenal but there are others that are quite good as well. I felt like I was actually sitting in a helicopter flying over the Grand Canyon and Monument Valley! Swear to it =) After a stressful or tense day, this title along with the soft music can almost transport you to another dimension. I do have to agree with a lot of other reviews in here that this BluRay disc doesn't show all of America but they do show the vast majority of it including New York City (World Trade Centers too!) Gosh how I miss the site of those growing up... Seeing them in high definition was a very touching experience. They also show Chicago, Philadelphia, Washington D.C., Baltimore, Alaska, most of Texas, California (Great Los Angeles night shots by the way!), Hawaii including Oahu and the north shore, and so much more. For those that can appreciate our countries majestic beauty in all its glory despite technological shortcomings, this is a great title and I highly recommend it. I bought it at a local Wal-Mart for $15 and I must say that this disc is one excellent value.

Excellent footage, fair to good display.

If you are considering buying this 1-hour DVD, it is definitely worth it for the footage. It has random aerial views from across the country, including Alaska & Hawaii (similar to Blue Planet). Just the footage of NYC and the WTC is worth the price.

Most to all footage is complied from older PBS shows that I remember seeing in the mid-late 80's. While many shots look to be true HD, others are easily seen as not.

Once again, buy for the footage, but don't expect complete HD satisfaction. Had I known, I would have bought the standard DVD so my family could borrow it.

Great American footage

This was recommended by a film editor friend of mine as being a wonderful tour of the USA via fly-over photography using 1995 HD technology, which was really great back then because it wasn't as compressed as today's HD. So if you want to see some remarkable HD of scenic vistas, check this title out.

Not 100% HD, but I am still happy

25% of the show is not in HD. Mostly the scenes from Hawaii and the Southwest. New York, DC, Chicago, Alaska and Philadelphia scenes are mostly in HD. There are some great footage in this Blu-ray, but they totally skip the Southeast and Pacific Northwest.

The main locations in the disc are: NYC, Philly, DC, St. Louis, Chicago, Southwest (Utah and Grand Canyon), California, Texas, Alaska, and Hawaii.

The shots of NYC and the glaciers in Alaska makes it worth the buy. I wish the show was longer then 60 minutes though.

It really make me madwhen I spend my hard earned money on something that is suppose to in HD and then I found out that they basically lied to me. As consumers we need to stand up and demand better instead of rolling over and going oh well some of its in HD and least we didn't pay $30.

The picture quality is good, but too few places introduced

The picture quality is still very good. It really shows the beautiful landscapes in US. Compare this disc to Planet Earth is like apple to orange. Clearly they shot the video before 2000, without using HD video recoder. I don't think any HD equipment is available on the market at the time! And yet the pictures is still very clear and rich in color like most HD TVshows. It's worth to take a look.
