5/5 Stunning video quality, plays perfectly in my PS-3

The images are stunning. It is in 1080i but still looks fantastic. Very informative. Rudy Maxa is interesting to listen to and he gives good tips for travelling in the areas he documents. I felt I had to review this blu-ray when I saw one of the two reviews showing a one star review because the person apparantly didn't update their firmware for their Sony laptop computer and had problems watching the disk and rated this one star. They dinged all 3 blu-ray videos in this series for the same reason. There are other titles in this series including England and Italy which are also filmed beautifully and are interesting. Also video is 16:9 and not 1.33:1. Beautiful widescreen.

1/5 BAD QUALITY

I could not watch this blue-ray on my Sony laptop, even I've seen a lot of blue-ray movies there. I can hear sound normally, but the images it's flashing with no changes, I mean, the same image is showing for ever. I don't recommend this titles (I bought 3 with the same bad quality)

5/5 Wow!

I couldn't wait to see how the Rudy Maxa series would look in hi-def- it was well worth the wait.

Fantastic transfer on the France disc- rich bold colors, excellent detail, didn't notice a trace of video noise or artifacting. Note- the Amazon description lists this series (France, Italy, England) as being in 1:33 aspect ratio- they are NOT! Full 16x9/- glorious!

If you love the Maxa series/and or France, you will love this disc- an absolute no-brainer.

5 stars- highly recommended!
