This is a must have for all fans of Ernest Ranglin…which includes me. This disc was shot using HD video equipment but has been downconverted to standard definition for this DVD-Video title. NOTE: The DualDisc format may not be compatible with all DVD/CD drives since it is slightly thicker than a standard disc. The DualDisc is not recommended for slot drives players.
