Universal HD DVD Menu / Screen saver

This is the background screen for some Universal HD DVD discs. It has some of the nicest classical music I've ever heard.

Ignore the slight jitter on the video - it's obviously not there on the real thing.

If you have an HDTV, then you need to buy an HD DVD player!

What is that beautiful music playing on that HD-DVD menu?

@sadlittleIMDBfan I wish I knew! Maybe it has no name?

I gotta start a petition to get this music to play at Universal Orlando and Hollywood.

@RkivUnderground You know, I went there after CES in early 2010 and I thought that the music they played at the park entrance is similar to this.

I've had some friends who were cheering on for HD-DVD when I was rooting for Blu-ray. Turns out I chose the winning horse!

Although, it makes me kind of sad for HD-DVD. Especially Universal, who was exclusively supporting the format. I got the HD-DVD add-on for my Xbox 360 just to watch Universal and other exclusive movies. Sad choice, looking back, but still makes a cool collector's item! And there are many people who like obscure formats that still cherish HD-DVD!

@RkivUnderground It's not like one format really had a big picture quality advantage... OK, so for REALLY long movies, BD would look slightly better, but it's not huge. For that reason, I don't really miss HD DVD. The only problem with BD was the high prices, and those have come down now, so it's all good!
