    Question about Friends Complete Series box set

    I just received this set as a gift in new, sealed condition. When I opened the box, there was no booklet included, only the dvds. Two questions: 1) Should the booklet have been included? All the reviews I have read mention a booklet. 2) If so, anyone know how I can contact Warner Home Video...

    Anyone ever have to deal with a baggage claim? I'm looking for advice.

    A couple of weeks ago, I flew Dallas to Miami (via American) and Miami to Madrid (via Iberia). When I got to Madrid, I was told my bags had missed the flight and would be there the next day (this is the standard line of B.S. when an airline has no idea where your bags are). I created a missing...

    Non-amamorphic DVDs looking stretched

    My setup is a Samsung DVD-HD950 outputting 720p via an HDMI cable to a Panasonic AE700. Anamorphic dvds look great but non-anamorphic titles look stretched out. It's probably a setting on the player doing this but I can't figure it out. Anyone know why I'm not getting these to display properly?

    Looking for framing ideas for this poster.

    I haven't framed one like this before, so I'm looking for ideas. It's acrylic on canvas, a lot thicker than theatrical posters. The things I've framed in the past, I had them dry mounted and framed with glass. I've heard that plexiglass may be a better way to frame archival type stuff, though...

    Will a dvd recorder with component inputs offer improvement?

    I'm thinking about picking up the Samsung dvd-vr325 when it streets because it offers component inputs.

    Thinking of using my computer as an HD DVR. Need advice.

    Like the title says, I'm thinking of turning my computer into a high definition dvr. I must have some HD signals to watch on my new tv, but I can't justify paying the exorbitant cable fees. I rarely watch tv without time shifting though, so the HTPC looks to be my best option. Here are my...

    Some questions about PVR & DVDR devices

    The apartment I live in makes it impossible for me to get a satellite, so I'm going with digital cable with a high-definition package.
