International HD DVDs (1 Viewer)

[NolanJ]

I've noticed some international Blu-Ray titles on this board, but haven't seen anything for HD DVD.

Anyone know some good HD DVD titles that are available internationally (any genre)?

Gotta love region free discs

there are also some disks on Amazon.co.uk..., and for now there is no region coding on US disks, so you can shop on amazon.com

Are you asking about international films on HD DVD or about getting the U.S. releases shipped overseas?

There are over a dozen HD DVDs available in Japan using the AVC/MPEG4 encode. The quality is a little mixed. Some look amazing (Brothers Grimm, Equilibrium) and other don't (Finding Neverland) but they are from exclusive
BD companies (Fox, Disney). In Europe, Studio Canal is releasing a dozen movies this year and Pathe Home Entertainment is releasing some films also. There are also a few small studios releasing HD DVDs in Europe.

Any further announcements for overseas releases?

Could someone please create a list/FAQ of reliable places to order HD-DVDs outside of the US, especially for BD exclusive US titles?

Thanks
