This is not the HD version. It works in any US dvd player !!!!

4/5 Unbelieveable video and interesting stories
  by S. Lee
Unlike most of the reviews here, I was able to play this HD DVD without any problems. I use my Xbox 360 to play HD DVDs, which is able to automatically get any updates that are needed.

Anyway, the movie follows the stories of multiple Italian people, all of different ages and background, as they embark on different milestones in their lives. The video is full of beautiful shots with great hi-def detail. The narration really adds to the video as none of the people speak English.

I definitely would recommend it to anyone who is a fan of Italy. My wife and I went there a few years ago and were happy to once again see places that we had visited.

1/5 Does not work.

Read the reviews about this disk not working. Figured they were old reviews and had fixed the problems. Very disappointed in that they are still selling this defective disk. Brand new XBox HD DVD player refuses to boot with this.

4/5 Beautiful photography
  by Andrew Lynn (Upstate)
This is worth watching in HD for the stunning photography alone.

Contrary to some reviews, there is nothing wrong with the disc. Certain HD-DVD players have firmware bugs which have been fixed in newer versions, that keep them from showing several titles including this one. Connect your HD-DVD player to the internet and run the update utility under Settings.

5/5 A very interesting travelogue with stunning video
  by Dr. Thomas B. Fowler (Washington, DC USA)
Despite other comments posted here, I had no difficulty playing this disc in my Toshiba A20 HD player. The video is absolutely stunning in HD. The travelogue revolves around the lives of several people from different areas of Italy in today's world. I highly recommend this video to anyone interested in Italian travel or learning about today's Italy.
