My crystal ball is obviously broken, as it didn't tell me that. :) A simple mention of that on the alterations page would save a lot of people a lot of grief in figuring out how to do this. I personally go directly the the news page. If it is mentioned on the main page, I'll never see it...

I must be totally blind, as I can find no place to submit or confirm. The instructions on how to submit/confirm alterations do not exist. At least not on the alterations page. Gord and David refuse to respond to my e-mail because of a difference of opinion, a very strong difference, regarding...

I think you meant 4:3, not 4:9 :) For The O.C., the packaging should have explained it, or the press release describing the package should have explained it. As pointed out in my posting, the box says that it is presented in the OAR of the original broadcast. Well, for those who saw it on...

The problem I was having with DVDProfiler was happening to a lot of people. After almost two weeks of complaining, the problem was found. There was a config problem with the MicroCrap server they are using. An obscure value that Gates and his minions thought should be one thing, when actually a...

Before going any further, how does one do an automatic reply with a quote of a particular posting, without having to manually cut-n-paste? Why bother with such a list in the first place? You pop in the DVD, the software takes a looks at it, goes on line and pulls down the info, if there is...

I wish I could say the same thing. My website's DSL line is extremely busy. No browser running under Linux can connect with www[dot]intervocative[dot]com. I managed to download the program because I found the URL to it and used Linux wget to get it and that connection worked, only because the...

Thanks, never knew that it got released on DVD.

I am sure that I am not the only one, but I do have "Submitted For Your Approval" recorded on S-VHS tape, direct from the PBS C-Band satellite feed. I would have rolled Umatic-SP tape, but the show was longer than an hour. I have all of the CBS 80s version on S-VHS tape and well as the 80s...

Has anyone officially taken over the upkeep of the list?

Yep, see page 189 of the "DVD Demystified - Second Edition" book. Setting it to "region 0" should mean that none of the region bits are set in the player, which means that when the region check code on the DVD looks for region 1, or any of the other regions, it will get back a negative result...

DVDs released in 4:3 that should have been released in 16:9 include: 1) The O.C. - Season 1 2) American Dreams - Season 1 On the O.C. package the following line is displayed: I guess they didn't see the original television broadcast by Fox over any affiliate that was doing HDTV. While the...

Technical nit: There is no such thing as a region 0 DVD. If one did author a disc for "region 0" it wouldn't play anywhere (except maybe those DVD players "fixed" to play anything). Region encoding involves an 8-bit register. Bits 1 -> 6 cover the geographical areas, bit 7 is reserved and...
