The world's first in-depth guide to the exciting new medium of DVD-Video, listing more than 2,400 DVDs on the market, Doug Pratt's book is likely to remain the best guide to films on DVD for a long time. Why? Because Doug is the most experienced journalist dealing with movies on disc. As the editor for seventeen years of The Laser Disc Newsletter- now The DVD-Laser Disc Newsletter- and the author of Laser Video Disc Companion, Doug has seen it all.

Only two years old, the DVD-Video medium has exploded in the home entertainment market. It has had the quickest introduction of any consumer electronics product so far. Thousands of movies are now available on DVD-Video, and Doug Pratt has watched‹and reviewed‹nearly all of them.

Doug's witty and engaging commentary lets you know right away whether a DVD is worth investing in. He knows the technology cold and he tells you straight out how well the publisher has transferred the movie to the new medium. He also provides useful insights on all aspects of the program content.

If you've just bought a DVD-Video player, or if your new computer came equipped with a DVD drive, you must have Doug Pratt's DVD-Video Guide.
