It wasn't like a major studio production or anything. The disks are watchable, and fun.

Watching the whole thing really puts the scope of it all together, and is actually quite fun.

Or, put succintly; just get them, you won't be dissapointed. (probably)

I heard the authoring on the DDR discs was terrible. :?

The DDR1/3 DVD wasn't exactly terrible -- I enjoy watching it -- but I wouldn't say it was up to par for what was allegedly a professionally authored DVD.

There's an off-by-one problem in the chapter menu for DDR3 starting near Omni's track, and Vlad's DDR1 documentary skips an entire section in the middle on some software DVD players (like WinDVD). People who saw the original DDR1 say that the DDR1 DVD encode looks a little...iffy. Having never seen DDR1 myself, I can't verify or refute that claim.

It's still watchable, though.

Oh yeah, I forgot this.

Don't say

The first three projects can be purchased here

Rather, say

DVDs of the first three projects can be purchased here

or maybe

You can purchase DVDs of the first three projects here

I'm not nitpicking for pedantic joy. There is a difference.

When you pay eXpertDV that $20 or so, you're paying for the packaging and the labor that went into authoring the DVD, not the material on it (or at least not the vast majority of it, anyway; I guess you could argue that the menus are eXpertDV property.) The second and third sentences allow for this; the first does not.

Knowing how many of the videos on DDR1 were probably sourced, I'm going to say it looks pretty good. Well I'll say it's vastly superior to the VCD I have but that's a given.

There does seem to be some kind of trouble at the end of Track 34 "Cutie Chaser" the Pucca: Funny Love video. It halts... for a while. Well at least on my xbox... it's PAL (naturally) and it isn't using PAL60. But the other tracks seem to be okay. Maybe I should test on some other players etc. (once I get my discs back from my sister)
