I was very excited to receive the Elton John DVD only to discover I was not Blu-ray compatable. Is there another version for a regular DVD player?

Too bad! I really wanted to be able to listen to Elton but the disks I received were totally blank. Tried it twice but the whole batch was blotto.

I was about to pre order this Blu-ray disc, both because of Elton and because of the Blu-ray quality, however, it was originally listed as 1.33:1 aspect ratio, which is ridiculous considering we have HDTV since 1998 at 16:9 (1.78:1), additionally, the soundtrack was listed as limited to AC-3 and DTS, which is obsolete when blu-ray offers the possiblity on any of the hi-bit audio codecs (Dolby True-HD, DTS-HD, DTS Master Audio), or even PCM Multichannel, a must for music recordings.
I was contacted by the EVP of Universal Music to make me aware that the aspec ratio spec was a mistake, but he did not mention anything about the soundtrack though, and requested me if I could change my review.
As a courtesy I am investing my time in doing that, but if Amazon and Universal Music can not have a testing area and users that verify data before it goes into production it leaves much to be desired.
The aspect ratio spec has been now modified to 1.78:1, but I am not pre-ordering anything until I actually see the product on the shelves with clear specifications of video and audio, I can not trust either of these companies now.
Even with the above experience I ordered the disc and I knew something else will be wrong on this experience.
As anyone can notice the soundtrack specification was never indicated on the Amazon specs, so I assumed it would at least be compatible with legacy DD 5.1 or legacy DTS 5.1 streamed audio to use the typical legacy optical or coaxial connections most A/V reeceivers have.
Well, it does not, it only has PCM 2.0 or 5.1 uncompressed audio on the disc which requires an HDMI connection to a A/V receiver or pre/pro with HDMI and also with the ability to handle uncompressed PCM.
This is a seriours drawback of this audio recording because it renders the audio useless for most A/V receivers that have only have legacy DD or DTS decoders expecting to receive the signal from optical or coaxial connections, not HDMI.

It’s a boring DVD from the beginning to the end. Actually, I could not even finish the DVD, and that shows how boring it is. A big disappointment.
