So, whenever I visit my girlfriend's parents house, I notice that their HDTV has this really obnoxious tendency of "automatically" zooming and cropping images on the screen. I put automatically in quotes because it seems to just adjust itself out of nowhere, and sometimes the digital cable info...

Is the Gary Kurtz stuff in an episode IV documentary? I remember seeing a pretty big presence of Lucas' new producer on the prequels in those making ofs--do you recommend those?

Hi everyone, It's been a long time since I've posted anything (I actually capitalize things now, oh my!). Just had a quick question; moderators, please feel free to move this to a different forum if it doesn't fit. I am looking for a decent making of documentary for a film that focuses more...

Is anyone else kind of peeved at some of the screen shots on the review over at DVD Beaver? It's like, Wes Anderson has gone back and "color-corrected" his first film to look overly saturated like his last 3 films (especially "Darjeeling"). I'm hoping that the stark differences between...

Hey guys, My roomate just bought a Samsung 46" LCD and I tried to set it up for him by running the THX Optimizer on one of the "Star Wars" standard DVDs (plugged in with components). I noticed that the film almost looks like it was shot by broadcast cameras. The camera movements remind me of...

6 feet?

Anyone have an extra optical cable sitting around? Come on, I know some of you guys don't use yours anymore because you got your fancy HDMI cables. :P oops. can a mod take the question mark off the thread title please? thanks.

i just wish that shout! would get the rights to this thing and release it ala "freaks and geeks"--i think we'd all be willing to fork over a little more in order to get all the rights to the music...i can't believe i am saying that as a college student in desperate need for a job at the...

did anyone else catch any of the pixar "easter eggs" in the film? here are just a couple that i could have sworn i caught: -the mime in the streets-was that bomb voyage from "the incredibles"? -there's a quick shot of linquini's underwear, and i saw that they were red and it looked like...

i can't record straight onto dv...and no, the glitches aren't on the tracking problems, they are sporadic and random. what do you mean by extra video stabilizers?

hey guys, i've been trying to make a present for my mother with all of her home movies she made from all her kids...i made a version of it last year, but i felt really bad because it had glitches in it that i thought i could not avoid. you see, when i would import it, it just casually...

see now i'm wondering if there's a program i can play the files on and export it into a dv tape, then import it into imovie... any ideas? by the way, thanks a lot for the input so far guys. i really appreciate it.

i just downloaded it, but i can't get it to play on imovie. i should have said this before--i'm trying to put these files on imovie, to then add them on a dvd with idvd.

i know absolutely nothing about codecs or anything. honestly, all i really know is that the file was made on a pc, and i managed to play it on a different pc, but not on my mac. what are the basic things i'm supposed to know and how do i go about fixing this?

okay, i gotta know...before i get all hyped up for the 22nd--this is going WIDE in its first week, right?
