I think it was on Digital Bits a while back that I read that Disney has no plans to continue to release catalog titles on UHD. Given that Moulin Rouge is a Fox title, which means Disney now owns it, are my hopes for a UHD version completely dashed? Or is there still some hope?

I have an EPSON 'faux-K' projector (native 1080p, but does 4K by pixel-shifting). This projector can only do 4K HDR at 30fps or lower. This works just fine for UHD movies, as I play them at 24fps. However for PS4 games that use HDR (Horizon Zero Dawn, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, etc). I...

Are there any discs of show off material on UHD? I don't mean movies that look and sound great, I'm talking about the reels you see when you go into a store and they're playing scenes like the surfer inside the wave tube, or the colorful ball pit balls splashing around in the water. The...

My daughter is really into Disney's descendants series. I thought it would be fun to watch it in the home theater, and went to get the blu-ray, but apparently they don't exist. I understand this is a very popular series for them and now with 3 movies out it seems very strange that they would...

Hi guys, I have a concern about upgrading to a 4k tv, that I'm not quite sure the answer to. I remember when DVDs came out and we all had 480 tvs, everything looked fantastic. Then HDTVs came out and now 1080 was amazing looking on them. But viewing that old 480 matierial on a 1080 tv looked...

Hey guys, I have an Optoma HD30 front DLP projector. It is several years old now, and I'm on my third bulb for it. I've just started to notice that on the mid to upper left side of the screen, there is a thin strip at the edge where the colors are not as they should be. For instance on a...

I've been getting this a lot the last few days when trying to get to the forums. Is this a known issue, or maybe something on my end?

Does anyone have any solid info on the May 10th (tomorrow) release of Equilibrium on Blu-Ray? All the retail websites I've checked on it still don't even have any cover art for it. According to the distributors press release, it is in 1.77:1 format (MAR) and 2.0 Stereo Audio. This would...

Ok, so I'm watching the 5th Element re-mastered blu-ray, and it has a PCM and a TrueHD soundtrack on it. Which one should I listen to? They're both lossless and the same right? But then I read that the PCM soundtrack was taken from a 16-bit master, while the TrueHD track was taken from a 20-bit...

I was reading an article a few weeks ago about the top 10 money saving tips, and one of them said something to the effect of "Despite what the manufactuers would like you to believe, your car will run just as well off of regular unleaded vs. the more costlier premium octanes." Since gas is...

Hi Folks, I see that on the Universal U-571 HD DVD it lists Dolby Digital Plus and DTS as the two soundtrack selections. Now, I know that the Dolby Digital Plus, while not lossless, is a higher bitrate than the standard DD that is on regular SD DVD's. My question is about the DTS...

Hello folks, I currently own a Tosh HDA2 for playing HD-DVD's and expect to be going format neutral by the end of the year. I'm trying to research which Blu Ray player to get, and am a bit confused, due to the many choices. My main concerns are that I want to get a player that is fully...

In the setup->general->maintenance menu of my Tosh HD-A2, there is an option for 'Persistant Data Storage'. Does anyone know what this is for or what it does? The manual isn't too clear on this, it just says something like 'Choose this option to manage persistant data storage.' What is this...

OK, so I recently purchased the Director's Cut of Peter Jackson's King Kong on SD DVD, and loved it. The only thing preventing me from picking up the current HD DVD of this movie is that it is the theatrical version. Considering that I've already double dipped on the SD side, picking...

I have the Toshiba HD-A2 player, and currently have on order the Optoma HD70, which is a 720p native projector. I will be using a HDMI connection for video, and was looking for opinions on which produces a better picture: Should I have the HD-A2 downconvert to 720p and pass that natively...

Hello all, I have a qestion for anyone out there who is using a Denon AVR-2807 with HDMI. I've been reading a lot about some recievers that have HDMI inputs and outputs as only having these inputs for a switch for the video portion of the HDMI stream, and not reading the audio from them...

Does anyone have any experience using the Optoma H27 projector in 720p or 1080i mode via the DVI input? I have this projector and was considering getting a Toshiba HD-A2 HD DVD player to play upconverted SD DVD's plus HD DVDs on it. The projector is 480p native, so I was just curious how...

How many of you check the HTF birthdays at the top of the page on your birthday to see if anyone has the exact same birthday as you? Mine's in July, so I won't know for a while, but I think of that every time I see the birthday list. How many 'twins' do we have here? (Same day AND year of...

A friend of mine just bought an Optoma DLP front projector. I don't know the exact model, but he said he got it at Best Buy for around $1,300. I think it's the EP739. I went over to his house to play around with it, and was amazed at the picture quality. He has it set up just projecting onto the...

I'm trying to remember a series of books I read about 15 years ago, but cannot remember the author or title of any of the books. I remember the story of the first book was about a group of children who found a secret cave at the base of a cliff next to the ocean. Inside this cave was some...

Hi folks, I have a few used XOBX games that I want to sell. They are in perfect condition. I'm just curious about what the best and easiest way to sell them would be. I was thinking of taking them into a GameStop or EBGames store, but I don't even know if they buy used games from customers...

I bought 'The Rundown' today, and it comes in a normal Amaray case with a outer cardboard sleeve that is EXACTLY the same as the cover liner in the case. Even the spine! What is the point? Such a waste of materials, wouldn't they save a fortune if the slipcase was not included?

Digital bits reports that Starship Troopers 2 is being released on DVD on June 1st. I haven't heard a single thing about this movie. I loved the first one, does anybody know anything about this movie, other than it's a direct to home release (which usually means suckage)?

I'm wondering what the best website to order Playstation2 games online is. I'm based in Southern California, and usually buy games at the retail B&M stores, but now after the christmas shopping season, they are all completely picked dry. Any suggestions would be most welcome.

Hi folks, I have a general question about the XBOX live service. Is it set up to only work with a specific XBOX? In other words let's say I don't have XBOX live, but my friend does. I own a game that has extra downloadable content for it. I would like to get that content, but really have no...

Dance Dance Revolution Ultramix is supposed to be out now for the XBOX. Any fans of this series here? I'm looking to get this one for christmas, and was wondering what people's impressions of this version, and the bundled in pad were. This will be my first DDR game BTW. I've played it twice in...

Sorry if this has been covered before, but the search function is not working for me at the moment. A friend of mine just purchased a new Samsung HCN473W widescreen RPTV for $999.99 at Fry's. I am working on getting it calibrated and need to know how to disable SVM on this model. So far...
