However, some folk here seem to have lost sight of the quality of the racing, and instead have got themselves all bent out of shape over the quality of this review DVD.
In my opinion, much of the criticism is overstated. The 2008 season review DVD is eminently watchable, despite some artifacts and ghosting on some of the race footage. How serious and prevelant is it? Not very. Should one expect a professionally produced DVD costing about $30.00 to be nigh on perfect? Absolutely. It is frustrating that this one is not quite there in terms of video quality? Only if you let it become so.
I wonder if the reviewers upset with the video quality are too young to remember what it was like to use VCR's. Those of us who struggled with videotape degredation, and the vagaries of using such a cumbersome system, still marvel at the convenience and overall reliability of DVD, and are perhaps a little more forgiving of the occasional artifact, etc.
The 2008 F1 season was incredible, and pretty much went down to the last corner of the last race. For those of you thinking about picking up this DVD, don't listen to the naysayers suggesting you save your money and pass it by. You can buy with confidence, safe in the knowledge that you will enjoy some incredible footage of a truly fantastic year of Formula 1 motor racing.』
(It's okay, not too good.) 『As you know, this 2008 Formula One season is a very breathtaking and exciting. But, this video is only so-so. It has some quality issues. The visual effect is kind of blur. When I watch this video on a 50" TV, it is kind of unclear. So, overall, I am a bit disappointed this year. Hopefully, next year will be better. 』
(Great review only lacks balance) 『I would rate this disc set miles above the disaster of the '06 season review, and on par or better than last year's '07 review. I'm so glad they started putting this on two discs.
Would've given it five stars, but they're a bit too much over the top with Hamilton. Despite his moment in the limelight, I think most long time followers of F1 will almost cringe at some of the "gushing" presented here.
A great recount of an exciting season . . . that would've been a home run with more editorial balance.』
(The Official Review of the 2008 FIA Formula One Championship) 『The DVD has a spot on it where there is poor quality throughout the entire DVD. This is a problem on all DVDs, not just mine, based on other's reviews. There is a fluttering of sort that distorts the picture. I am very surprised that Formula 1 did not catch this problem during production.』
(Lewis Triumphs Over All!) 『An excellent recap of a thrilling F1 season! After eighteen races, to have a World Championship decided by a single point! Seven different race winners, including first ever wins by Kubica and Vettel! Season long battle between Massa and Hamilton (and ocasionally Raikkonen) for the ultimate prize!

Exhilarating I must say.』
(A classic and epic season!) 『This I think is the best F1 DVD in history! Every race is detailed with information including all the dramas of the season. The greatest thing about this DVD is Kimi being the WDC! woot woot! Every F1 fan has to have this copy!』
(Great DVD for 2007 Season Review) 『Being a fan of Formula 1 and living in the US where it is really hard to find F1 related things, it is nice that Amazon carries these DVD's. I really like the quality and contents of this DVD. To be able to rewatch the season when Kimi wins the Driver's Championship for the first time is really nice as well. I look forward to the 2008 Season DVD.』
(One of the most exciting seasons!) 『Spy saga, rookie sensation, Shumacher-less, betrayal, and a new king crowned. That is the story of the 2007 Formula 1 season. This dvd packs it all in. The 2007 review comes on 2 disc, with the season on one and extras on another. This is fantastic as the quality is much improved over previous years where they compressed it all on one disc. Much more enjoyable.
In 2007, Fernando Alonso switched over to Mclaren after winning back to back titles with Renault, and Kimi Raikkonen replaced Shumacher at Ferrari. The Mclaren car seemed to be the one to beat that year, and with Fernando helping to develop it, it seemed like a potent unbeatable combination.
Then Lewis Hamilton burst onto the scene. With the first few races in, everyone took notice. This guy was greatness in the making and actually had the tenacity to fight a double world champion in his own team in his rookie year. Fernando became bitter, and demanded priority, and when he didn't get it, turned his back on Mercedes. The spy scandal was already in motion at this point, but a bitter Fernando helped push it further (as media reports).
In the end....Mclaren were fined $100 million and stripped of all constructors points. Lewis Hamilton had the championship in the bag with a nice lead going into the last 2 races, but made rookie mistakes which cost him the title. In the end...the Iceman attacked silently and won the championship BY ONE POINT in the final race.
This season had it all, and this dvd retells the tale perfectly. If you did not see the 2007 season, and watching this for the first time, do a little background search on the season to get further in depth detail about the scandal that year. A must for any F1 fan!』
(Class publication for the best in the worls of motor sport) 『Easy to read and can be used as a reference for this year in Formula One. If new to the sport it can give you leads for further reading or research. If a long time fan it puts the year in your hands and then on your bookshelf.』 『Intrigue, intense rivalry and good old fashioned racing were at the heart of the 2007 FIA FORMULA ONE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP.

I like the in-car footage of qualifying, although as in the 2004 dvd you have to go to the individual race menu for each event to see it. It's funny how in most of these they have a driver of the same nationality present a qualifying lap for each track.
Overall this DVD is excellent. The video compression seems only applied to the qualifying laps, so the rest of the footage doesn't appear to show any problems with quality. Also, for some reason the in-car footage is more exciting on this volume, especially on tracks like Spa or Nurburgring which have lots of elevation changes, or just because you aren't seeing all pole laps so you hear the drivers describe whatever mistakes happen and how much time it might have cost them.
These Championship Reviews are great to have if you have any interest in Formula 1. The footage is exciting and the scenery is beautiful as well. This is also the year that Ralph hit the wall at Indy for the second year in a row (this time he walked away, thankfully), prompting the controversial Michelin incident that resulted in a mere six-car race.』
(DVD was much better than expected) 『My family and I are Indy 500 regulars who will be attending the U.S. Grand Prix for the first time in July, 2006. Since Formula One races are not carried on any of the channels in our cable package, we needed a way to educate ourselves about what's been going on in F1 lately (who is Alonso?). The 2005 F1 World Championship Review DVD seemed perfect for this purpose, and I decided to purchase a copy. However, after I read the reviews of the DVD on Amazon.com, I got the impression that it would be of low quality, so I decided not to buy it. A couple weeks later, I changed my mind and decided to go ahead and buy it anyway. I am now very glad I did - the DVD turned out to be terrific! It performs perfectly on our DVD player and TV, and the sound and picture are excellent. The race coverage is everything I had hoped it would be, and the DVD also includes in-car footage for each track, including Indianapolis. This DVD far exceeded my expectations, and I highly recommend it.』
(a cheap release from the richest motorsport in the world!) 『A great season in F1 only to be spoiled by this vhs like DVD release. The picture quality absolutely ruins the viewing experience! Pixels everywhere! Anything that moves on the screen just blurs up. It's hard enough to get a good look at these beautiful F1 machines up close, that's the beauty of pausing a DVD player to capture a true sharp digital image, but here you might as well get all those vhs tapes out of the garbage cause blurry and ragged is the new F1 way it seems. Why spend so much money on a sport only to release a review that shows none of it? 5 star show with 0 star picture quality. Hey F1, this isn't 1982 with Keke winning the championship! Next year better be better or you've lost my twenty bucks.』
(Not perfect, but a solid review) 『Documenting in satisfactory detail the news, events and people of the 2005 FIA Formula One World Championship, this DVD is a must-have for any F1 aficionado. Round-by-round coverage of each race (usually between 10-15 minutes on each) combined with mini features on drivers, teams and new circuits are some of the many strengths of this DVD. Unfortunately, while the DVD takes a step forward in many areas over previous incarnations, it also has some areas that prevent it from being perfect. The race-by-race coverage is very solid and the DVD does a good job covering the top highlights from qualifying and the race. It also does a decent job covering the BAR fuel tank scandal, the F1 U.S. Grand Prix debacle and F1's first race in Turkey. My favorite new addition to the DVD has to be the driver-narrated in-car laps that are featured for every race. It adds a nice dimension to the DVD and you get to see and hear the drivers from a more personal perspective, adding a side of humanity that is often buried behind the helmet and the names. Also, unlike previous versions, when you go to the race-by-race menu and choose a race, the DVD will not go back to the race-by-race menu once that particular race is over. Instead, it will move on to next race in continous fashion. And it is for these reasons that I would recommend this DVD to any F1 or racing fan. However, there are some features of this DVD that hurt it. First, the picture quality doesn't seem as good as previous reviews. There is a lot of pixelation at various times throughout the review (usually on in-car cameras) and, while not horrible, it does sour the experience, a little. Second, it's a shame they had to sacrifice the in-car pole position laps (as seen on the 2004 DVD) for driver commentary laps. Why couldn't they put both in? While there are some shortcomings, it is still a strong and comprehensive review and I would recommend it to any F1 fan.』
(Yet another mixed bag) 『Pro: 220 minutes to cover nineteen races. Nice to get the in-car for qualifying. Nice insight into the races, particularly the US GP and the Michelin-farce.
Con: This DVD, without a doubt, has the worst image quality I've seen on any F1 annual DVD. Including the first one. A LOT of MPG compression and pixelation. It's even pixelated on the menus. Check out the first lap at Spa for a good representation. A cloud of MPG noise is in front of Montoya's car. The TV broadcasts looked better...and I'm stuck with DirectTV, which is saying something. I'm sure that there's lots I've missed- I've only watched about 20 minutes.
For those in the know, I did a service-mode convergence adjustment on my TV two days ago. And my DVD player is a Denon DVD2900.
It looks horrible. Maybe next time they'll spend 30 cents more and use a DVD9 instead of this single-layer DVD. You've been warned.』 『2005 saw Fernando Alonso's climactic rise to become the youngest driver to take pole position, the youngest race winner and now, remarkably, the youngest Formula 1T World Champion ever. This year saw dramatic changes with new rules and a radical shake up of the old order. Gone is the Ferrari domination of recent years, the team from Maranello could only manage the top step of the podium once this year! Nine different drivers took pole position and five won races in this record-breaking season, but the real story was the battle for supremacy between Renault and McLaren. Four consecutive race wins for Renault at the start of the season left McLaren struggling behind but, with Kimi Räikkönen challenging, they fought back. With threee races remaining, the Championship contenders had six wins apiece -Alonso had the upper hand but Räikkönen was not finished yet. Even when Alonso was crowned the Driver's Champion, the Constructors' World Championship title was still up for the taking. Ride on-board with Räikkönen for a qualifying lap of the inaugural Formula 1T Turkish Grand Prix and experience the infamous turn eight. Go behind the scenes of one of the most glamorous sports in the world with special features and exclusive on-board footage as FANTASTIC FERNANDO marksthe beginning of a new era of Formula 1T motor racing.』

Pros - Good quality - Interesting footage on technical side of the sport - Great bonus material
Cons - DVD is not available in HD - It could show more behind-the-scenes footage - The bonus material about Schumacher should be longer and more detailed
All in all, this is a must buy DVD for F1 fans since the 2006 season represents the end of an era: Michael Schumacher's dominance!』
(great season, cheap DVD) 『Not only did the video quality take a dive, but the sound is horrible compared to the 03,04, and 2005 DVD reviews. On the previous discs, on my home theater, the cars really sounded impressive and almost violent. Just as they do when you see them in person. They blanked out all the audio on the pit stop launches in favor of the narrator's voice. ANNOYING. The cars really sound almost puny and nasally on this DVD. Not really what you expect from the world's most expensive sport. On a lighter note Alonso's performance this season is exceptional, and fun to watch. Still worth watching. I did notice that this year's disc is no longer produced by "WhitestarDVD," the label that appeared on the 03-05 reviews.
』
(Presenting the DVD that brought dvds back to the stone age!) 『This is called a DVD. It looks like a DVD when you open its case. It looks like a DVD when you place it into your DVD Player. That's where it ends though. You've been robbed. This is what a DVD becomes when a multi million dollar corperation seeks to make just a little bit more money from its fans and in the process sells out its own soul. Stop compressing the video to the point of destruction and just make 2 discs! PLEASE, PLEASE! This DVD has by far, (so far it's not even funny)THE worst picture quality I have ever seen in something trying to pass itself off as a DVD. How about this F1, just release vhs tapes from now on. Please stop embarrassing yourselves and torturing your audience with half hearted and cruel releases such as this. Your F1! You take our millions of dollars and give us back excrement. Every year you feed us this mediocre garbage the closer we get to giving up on you. There are other sports out there you know. Learn from NFL Films, PLEASE! These should be historic records of the most advanced form of motor racing on earth, not something resembling some idiot with a cam corder taping a country drag race on beta max. When I press PAUSE watching this it looks like Surrealist Art. Yeah, I just saw the blue blur pass the red blur! Isn't that an exceptionally beautiful and well engineered blur? I want to see the Formula One car's suspension and aerodynamics when I press pause but I get to see a multi colored blur that I THINK is a... car? Yeah a car. Give us a break! You could do so much for F1's image and popularity with quality DVD reviews that contained, 2, YES 2 Disc DVD reviews. What a concept! I've been a diehard F1 nut for over a decade now and I thought by now you would've adapted with the times. We have what they call High Definition now. Have you heard of it? Stop compressing the video and stop giving your loyal fans the shaft! Charge 30 to 40 bucks for a 2 disc DVD set with sharp picture quality and watch them sell out. We'd buy them! I know I would. All F1 fans want it and you better start listening cause it's been 2 years of compressed and pixelated garbage. If you only got it. Well, you've lost this and many customers because for years now your DVDs have been laughable. To anyone interested, this trash isn't even worth a rental. 2000, 2003, 2004 F1 Reviews are great and show what the DVD was made for. The 2005 and 2006 Reviews are horrible unless you like to see what damaged vision looks like. It's like a fine novel with a great story, only the pages have been dipped in water and the ink has run all over. We hope you enjoy the book! Don't waste your time or money. Get an older review if you want to enjoy some F1 action. 2 disc DVD sets are the answer to all our prayers F1. Do it or lose it! If 2007 is the same I'm starting a boycott.』
(Excellent Summary) 『Having shared the '06 season on Speed with the unfailingly excellent and well informed Bob, Dave, Steve and Peter, this DVD neatly compresses and records Schumacher's final season. F1 attracts TV audience figures that can only make NASCAR weep - but then F1 is about supreme technical excellence and driver skill on circuits all around the world and this DVD captures the excitement, variety and exotic nature of a true world championship. Worth listening to the drivers as they talk you through a pole lap - Kimi is an angel in a car, less so when it comes to talking and interpreting the experience! This DVD is a must for hardened fans and those coming to F1 for the first time.

(They did it again.) 『At least this year, they used a DVD9 instead of DVD5. That said, the image quality on this DVD is worse than the broadcast you watched on TV. 220+ minutes on one DVD. If they went to two DVDs, this would be the kind of thing you'd want for the rest of your life. You can do better D/Ling the individual races.
Picture quality trumps content. Rent it.』 『In 55 years, only seven men have won back to back World Championships. 2006 changed all that. Fernando Alonso became the eighth member of the elite group and the youngest.
The season kicked off with new drivers, new teams and a brand new knockout format for qualifying. RENAULT picked up where they left off with six wings out of eight. By Canada, they looked to have it in the bag, but the might of Michael Schumacher and Ferrari should never be discounted.
USA was the turning point, with everything falling in FERRARI’S favor. After China, the frontrunners were equal on points, but Michael had the advantage with one more win under his belt. The battle for both titles would be won and lost in the last two races.

(Very disappointing overview) 『Boy could this one have been soooo much better!
Don't be fooled. Very short in-car camera shots. The footage of Nurburgring is amazing, but so little of it. Why not give us the whole lap instead of small clips faded in and out? F1 is sitting on so much more they could have provided for this DVD and didn't. The Long Beach footage is spectacular, as is the Haikkonen pass of Schumacher at Belgium '00, but it's too little for the price they ask.
As far as the length, 40 min of in-car, then a long, boring extended sequence of F1 champions.
For the price, go somewhere else.』

Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Thorough history, but not the most exciting F1 footage) 『I think this is a very well put together history of F1, with some content that overlaps other DVDs I have but this title seems much more complete. However, in this video you will spend a lot of time looking at parked cars while listening to a narrative of their accomplishments, leaving a bit to be desired as far as seeing them in action on track from the cockpit or the tv cameras. The extra features include some text describing interesting incidents of various champion drivers - this is again the kind of material I would have preferred to see, not read about.』

(A Great DVD) 『'The World's Greatest Formula One Cars' is a great DVD. It is about all of the best Grand Prix cars that have ever raced in Formula One, cars like Ferrari, Cooper, Lotus, McLaren, Brabham, BRM, Williams and many others. There is a lot of information on cars that even raced before F1 including the 1930's battles between Mercedes Benz and Auto Union. The DVD starts with the Grand Prix Car from 1920 and continues right up through the years until it reaches Michael Schumacher's Ferrari F2000. There is a lot of great footage on the DVD including the famous battle between Gilles Villeneuve and Rene Arnoux for second place in the 1979 French Grand Prix. This is a great DVD and any fan of Formula One should buy it.』 『An impressive visual encyclopedia,The World's Greatest F1 Carscovers the first 50 years of Formula One racing. The DVD begins with the stories of the Bugatti T51 and the Delage GP, which were basically stripped-down sports cars. Grand Prix aficionados will be thrilled with the detailed footage and narration on 103 cars ranging from early models like the Alfa Romeo 158, in which Giuseppe "Nino" Farina roared to the first F1 world title, to the Lotus 72 Ford (1970), which was the first car to try to achieve better aerodynamic downforce through body design, to the modern Ferrari 1996-2000. The DVD can be watched as a whole or can be broken down car by car.
