HD-DVD Exclusive Special Features

[Pineapples101]

I hope this is the correct forum to post this.
With rampant HD-DVD disc rot, I didn't want these special features disappearing forever. Below is a list of special features exclusive to HD-DVD, if anyone can add to this list I would be very interested in knowing what I might have missed.


All info from here:

Troy - Theatrical HD-DVD
High Definition Exclusive Bonus features: "In-Movie Experience" video commentary
Notes: I can confirm that '4 Previsualizations: - Greek Ship Towing a Waterskier - Greek Warriors - Two Greek Ships and 1,000 Rubber Duckies - Warriors Using Urinals' is on the Blu Ray and is called 'Greek Ship Towing'.


American Gangster HD-DVD
Theatrical Cut - High Definition Exclusive Bonus features: - "U-Control" Picture-In-Picture video commentary (with cast and crew interviews and "Behind-the-Scenes" footage)
"Uncovering the Past: The Real Frank Lucas and Richie Roberts" -featurette (4:29 min)
Notes: The featurette appears to be HD-DVD exclusive, it doesn't appear on the Blu Ray or 4K.
I can confirm that the "U-Control" PIP feature is exclusive to the HD-DVD theatrical cut. There is a PIP feature on the Blu Ray, but it's on the Extended Cut. As far as I can tell, all the PIP segments on the HD-DVD theatrical cut are also on the Blu Ray Extended Cut PIP feature, but for the sake of being complete I thought I should mention it here.


Poseidon HD-DVD
"In-Movie Experience" video commentary with actor Josh Lucas


I now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry
"I Now Pronounce You Husband and... Husband?" -featurette
"Look Who Dropped By" -featurette
"Stop, Drop and Roll" -featurette
"Dugan: The Hands-On Director" -featurette
8 deleted scenes
"Laughing is Contagious" -featurette
Notes:The HD-DVD has the featurettes and deleted scene in HD, the US Blu Ray doesn't include any of these and the DVD is all in SD. So these appear to be HD-DVD exclusive in HD.
Notes: I'm using OSB Studio to record these features as MakeMKV doesn't recognize the disc. The featurettes and deleted scenes record as 720p, so they are not full HD.



If anyone wants any of the above special features I can share, just send me a PM.



Evan Almighty HD-DVD
"U-Control":
-Picture-In-Picture video commentary
-"Ark Building for Dummies" guide
-"Get on Board" trivia track
Notes: My UK disc has rot, so I have been unable to extract or record any of the special features, if anyone has a back-up ISO they might want to share, it would be appreciated.

Nice, I had a bunch of HD DVDs (that used to be exclusive) backed up to BD-R, but I stupidly used Taiyo-Yuden organic dye blanks for most of them, so they ended up rotted as well.

I don't think Star Trek TOS S1 had any significant exclusive extras, but it was encoded in AVC on HD DVD, unlike the VC-1 BDs. I have a couple backed up, but not all of them. They don't have the original SFX, though, just the CG remakes.
