sony 670 carousel, and hitting NONE on the DVD menu does NOT get rid of the occasional pop-up French subtitles on FOX's French Connection II dvd It happens repeatedly in the bathroom . . . er s**thouse . . . as stated above, and outside the s**thouse at Popeye's "office", and again as the cops...

I think you're right on target, you'll like either receiver and their features; and will learn to enjoy what is new to you and will begin to differentiate from your previous experience with non-THX and non-EX (thx or otherwise) experiences in HT.

Yeah, the DTS is fine, but the Superbits Desperado, on my Sony 670 Carousel chokes consistently at the 18:03 mark, and then starts playing again. At first it paused at the 17:54 mark, the 17:59 mark, and then stutter stepped thru the first few seconds past the 18:00 mark. With a few repeated...

turns out that it had a glaze on it, that was removed by cleaning with warm water and a cloth towel. I had used disc cleaner on it and the disc showed a faint glaze, which I noticed after its return to me. The damm thing would either freeze or replay a section or not play at all.

Hey Omer M.! long time no read. I still want your DVD connexions in the other regions!! [Edited last by chris georgeson on September 29, 2001 at 02:18 PM]

hmm, time to get out of the home theater forum thing. KANE DEAD deep focus & story construct not touched upon, time & room permitting . . . never mind the incredible cast or KANE's making of history must not mean anything to you because citizen kane story structure and filmic techniques...

anyone have a clue as to what is missing from Image Entertainment's release of Luchino Visconti's Rocco and his Brothers? Image shows a 168 minute version, while IMDB tells of several scenes being cut, including some of the rape scene, from an original 180 minutes, and further cut upon its...

I haven't been following this topic at all until my friend emailed me about Amazon's reply, but I thank you very much, Glenn and Mark, you are both right on target. I asked my friend why Amazon? I guess my other friend is starting to look *smart* by pre-ordering the Japanese R2 version . . . .

My friend got this email today, what is up with this? "Thank you for writing to us at Amazon.com. I've checked into your order (#002-3121554-4052031) and found that you may have already received e-mail from us about this item. Unfortunately, when we contacted our supplier, we learned that...

Anyone ever have a playback prob with this disc - Disc 1 of Gladiator? Looks like I have one coming back from an Ebayer - one that does stop playback on a PS2, a Pioneer htpc (Hwood Real Magic+) and an RCA. Beginning to sound like a broken . . . dvd. any help or similar tales of woe much...

Neil Oh, absolutely, I was holding out hope for it to brighten up once I fiddled with the pots. But . . . . film tears, WAY too dark, yeah .. . well, guess I gotta go see a man about a disc. ------------------

Florian - what site is that? it has a different picture - of the cover? - than that shown on Dvd Station and Amazon. No questions asked - Don't Look Now is one of the most bone-chilling thrillers as it plays upon the viewer's mind by suggesting an apparent psychic connection between the...

Hendrik - yes it is anamorphic, and yes, right, it is pal (using an Apex and vid grade crt; I know, the 4% speedup, and the occasional prob with those extra scan lines announcing theirselves). *But it is nice to see it with the extra res.* But Tartan's picture is not the repaired one that...

anybody get their copy yet of Don't Look Now? huh? huh? ------------------

Got it today, and it's REGION O!! it'll play on any dvd player?!?!?!?! I'll let you know how it looks. ------------------

Gary - Could the 107 minute runtime - I presume you mean the R1 version's stated time - be due to the shorter runtime =4% - of a PAL disc? due to its frame rate of 25fps instead of R1's 30fps? ------------------

Umm, YUM YUM !!! Make a hole and Make IT WIDE!!!! ------------------

anyone know anything about this? In typical UK fashion, release will confirm what everyone does not know, but can slaver over. Tartan is the releaser, and this site - the R2 Databse - is showing this title to be 16 x 9 - possibly. any words from anyone...

Dick tell of where you're going to buy this Roeg classic. gotta have it. thanks! ------------------

Omer and Vincent - I've hit the curve and non-anamorphic PAL titles are not without merit. I've just received Black Rain and Annie Hall - and while Annie is 16 by 9, Black is not. And this after seeing the Cinestore site - Link Removed - and the DVDZone2 site -...

Omer, Most excellent news about Sleepy Hollow and Gladiator. Can you answer to these questions concerning John Carpenter's The Thing, and Afterglow, with a followup on Cube? I can't find any note about The Thing being anamorphic at either DvdZone2 or Cinestore; Afterglow just cannot be...

Omer - that's one of the questions that can be hard to answer - I have a processor that tells me what the mix is, because I can't always tell - I know that the R.1 Nikita sounded fine, but it is kind of like my R.2 Big Blue - it sounds fine, too, tho a bit low on level - sometimes just having...

Omer, I just got delivery of the French NIKITA and while it looks glorious, that 2.0 English dolby is missing a few digits. I wonder if you can dig up the goods on a 5.1 English anamorphic Nikita - as you referred to on the bottom of this thread's page 2. Once again, YOU ARE THE MAN...

Omer - thanks! But I just found out that the R.1 Kelly's Heroes is indeed anamorphic without being labelled as such. You know the titles I would like to see in an anamorphic format? Michael Mann's Manhunter and Thief - if only to see Jim Belushi in all of his pre-skinny widescreen-res-glory!!

What are the chances of MGM ever releasing some of the old titles anamorphically in any other region but ONE? Thunderbolt and LightfootBrainstormDirty DozenEnd of ViolenceTaking of Pelham 1 2 3[/list]I give up, I read MGM's chat with HTF. But the big one that I don't understand and would like...

Omer - Thanks! how and where do I get a "job" like the one you have? About that R.1 Heat, and its letterboxed transfer - that's an anamorph-ed image on that disc, so I'm wondering . . . is there some other feature(s) on that French version that didn't make it to your posting?

There's a player that removes the so-called "fixed" subtitles??? Do tell!! which brand/model? I understand that Paramount is getting started on their overseas (non-USA) production, and I'd kill to get a copy of Ghost and the Darkness anamorphic sans subtitles. And to Omer, that new Long...

Ok! not to monopolize, but I now have re-read this thread, and see that there are some German titles with unremoveable German subtitles on English audio and some French titles are the same way. It is that there are 45 DTS titles available as R.2 German discs, and that they do not have an...

I forgot to ask the 2nd question - how does one tell if the German R.2 PAL discs have the unremoveable German subtitles on the English audio tracks when I'm online at these German sites ? I'm having a bit of a time translating the pages as I go through . . . Any help here, as I am looking...
