I'm hearing a loud constant hissing out the center speaker. I tried switching speakers & speaker wire. The receiver is a 6-1/2 year old Sony STR-DB830. I'm pretty much resigned that I may have to replace receiver but wanted to see if there's a possible solution that I'm overlooking?

Just wondering if anyone has heard of any Audio comparisons between the original DTS version and the 60th Anniversary DTS version. I have the DTS but am intrigued by the extras on the 2-DVD Set. Anyone know if I would be missing anything if I swapped? Thanks.

Is it a double-sided DVD? Maybe the Widescreen Version is on the flip side?

I decided to test the 16:9 claim on the back of the Parent Trap case. I changed the video setting on my DVD player to 16:9. Then I popped in the Parent Trap disc. For a 16:9 enhanced transfer, I would have expected the screen to be filled and have no black bars. Further, the imaged would...

The Parent Trap (1998) - I remember purchasing this DVD when it was first released and it was not enhanced for 16:9 TV's (a very good transfer nonetheless). I just purchased a copy at Target that clearly states on the back of the case " Widescreen - Enhanced for 16:9 TV's".

No, she surreptitiously watches another woman doing it.

I purchased a copy from Borders for $12.99 (minus 20% coupon). The video is Full Frame as originally shown on Broadcast Television. The picture quality is suprisingly good for a TV production from over 30 years ago. The indoor scenes look particularly clean without any artifacting that...

The studios seem to experimenting with inserts. The Recruit has a card advertising "Tutima" watches instead of chapter stop listing. Adaptation, on the other hand, has a little fun with the insert. In lieu of a real insert, this card is clipped on the inside of the case:

Inside the Sweet Home Alabama DVD, there is a $2.00 Manufacturers Coupon for Tuck Everlasting DVD.

I watched it last night. The "Freeway" Scene is NOT on the DVD.:angry:

My copy also contains reference to the IFC Feature. Here is a couple of scans of the back cover: Link Removed Link Removed Alas, the extra features in question are not on the DVD.

The Gag Reel in hidden in Photo Gallery Section. There is a Framed Picture off to the side. Select it and the gag reel will play.

Both versions are the same except for the cover art. The reason for different covers is purely marketing. The DTS cover just plays up to the inclusion of the DTS audio track.

Missing from the specs is the Aspect Ratio. The cover art has "Paramount Collection" instead of "Widescreen Collection". Could it be possible?

I have this DVD. I have only watched the first 10 minutes or so. The video quality is excellent so far. It looks about the same as the previous Elite version. The "freeze" or "pause" frames are still there. The cover art is cool. But the red keep case is not so cool. Oh, and...

Now that I think about it, some studios have already adopted somewhat of a tiered pricing structure. Fox, Universal and even Paramount have all lowered the prices of selected titles months after their initial release. While the price reduction is only $5 to $10, some savvy buyers delay...

It's been awhile since I've heard anything about Rental Pricing. Have the studios (hopefully) put this on hold? Or are there still plans for some new releases to be priced for rental?

As an interesting side note, Dreamworks has placed the Full Frame Version on Disc 1 and the Widescreen Version on Disc 2. This is the first time i've seen this configuration. Usually it's the other way around.

Just watched the Spy Kids DVD. Framed at 1.85:1, this is one impressive transfer. Amazing level of detail. Perfectly saturated colors. Pure Eye Candy. Cute movie too. DD 5.1 audio track was pretty explosive as well, including one dizzying 360 degree sound effect. This is a bare bones...

Same packaging as the Box Set release.

Yes, Paramount dual layer DVD's do normally have a high bit rate. Fox DVD's also have high bit rates. Columbia DVD's traditionally have relatively low bit rates, but still yield stunning video quality. So it should be interesting to see what their DVD's look like with higher bit rates.
