    Hi, just wondering with Season 1 of the West Wing coming out on dvd next Tuesday, Nov. 18th (along with the other big release that day, LOTR: The Two Towers), has anyone gotten the West Wing yet or seen any reviews for it on-line? All I know is that my wallet is going to be suffering a big...

    No screen capture function on Powerdvd for Dell computer

    Well, DELL's customer service initially thought that the software should be able to perform the screen capture function. That was the answer they gave me with my first two attempts. Finally, got an e-mail directly from Cyberlink stating that the versions licensed by Dell and loaded on their...

    No screen capture function on Powerdvd for Dell computer

    My new Dell computer arrived with the software Cyberlink Powerdvd 4.0 version loaded in. Was playing a dvd and wanted to do a screen capture but couldn't find that function. On the Cyberlink website, it definitely says that version 4.0 has the screen capture function. Does anyone know...

    Monster Inc. - anyone get satisfaction yet from Disney regarding defective disc

    Just wondering if anyone has received satisfaction from Disney yet regarding the defective Monster Inc. disc; defective meaning the freezing of the disc/movie right before the end of the movie. I know this error happened predominately on Pioneer dvd players though I have read reports that the...

    Lilo & Stitch - Any word on a special edition release?

    With the release of the 1 disc Lilo & Stitch being only a week away, has anyone heard definitively whether there is to be a 2 disc special edition release of the movie for next year? You would think Disney would had let people know before December 3rd to avoid accusations of double-dipping. I...

    750 dvds from Shaw Brothers HK are coming

    I believe it when I see those dvds on the store shelves. I have been waiting so long for these movies finally to be officially released. The news still doesn't offer much details but I would be the first in line for at least "36th Chamber of Shaolin" and maybe "Blood Brothers" on December 5th. I...

    Hong Kong Legend DVD's

    You are asking when. Has it been stated anywhere that HKL dvds will be coming to North America? How can they when U.S. studios own the North American rights to the movies unless the studios has licensed the rights to release U.S. versions of HKL dvds? Not that I would be complaining. I would...

    U.S. version of Monsters Inc. sold in Vancouver,Canada?

    It sounds like the U.S. version of Monsters Inc. is preferable to the Canadian version. For example, the Canadian version is missing the full screen version of the movie plus the sound fx track. This was done I believe to include the french soundtrack. Does anyone know if any store in...

    BTTF: R1 version will not have dts tracks; Petition needed for 4th disc!!!

    1) This thread is not meant to be a DD vs DTS thread. 2) This thread is not a "the BTTF disc don't have DTS, therefore I am not going to buy the discs" thread. 3) This thread is to facilitate discussion and support for the BTTF trilogy of films to get the royal dvd treatment that the films...

    BTTF: R1 version will not have dts tracks; Petition needed for 4th disc!!!

    Just to clarify my stance on this issue since I originated this thread. In my mind, the BTTF trilogy makes up three classic films that are stronger together in themes/storylines than when shown/watched separately. In short, especially after the long wait, the trilogy should be getting the...

    BTTF: R1 version will not have dts tracks; Petition needed for 4th disc!!!

    I am happy that they are trying to load up these discs with additional extras and features. It is just disappointing that after such a long wait, they are crowding everything onto 1 disc for each movie. Considering that almost every big release nowadays get a 2 disc release, for such great...

    BTTF: R1 version will not have dts tracks; Petition needed for 4th disc!!!

    Don't know if anyone has read this yet but per BTTF.com website and their interview with BTTF producer Bob Gale, the R1 versions of the trilogy will not have the dts tracks that the international versions has. This is so as to free up about 30 minutes per disc for additional extras. I know...

    LOTR DVD issues (merged thread)

    Patrick, I would phone up Future Shop and ensure that you get the coupon book from them. I phoned them and they were able to get me the coupons, which they took from a returned copy of the dvd. Don't know if it was a Vancouver batch that didn't get them included or what. However as noted...

    LOTR DVD issues (merged thread)

    Read in reviews of the LOTR dvd and seen in other posts that there is a rebate coupon ($US 5/ $Cdn 8) included for if you were going to buy the 4 disc sets in November. However when I opened my copy, there was no coupon. I bought my copy at Future Shop in Burnaby, Canada. Is this just a US offer...

    How do studios calculate the # of hours of extras on their dvds?

    I am just wondering if anyone else is bothered when the studio boasts in their ads or on the dvd itself that the dvd boasts so many hours of extras. Then when you go through the extras, you wonder how they came up with the number of hours that they promote, when you go through the extras in a...

    Back to the Future *DVD Features* Announced!!!!

    Yeah, I am concerned that if these specs are correct, that they are having only one disc for each movie and the extras. After waiting this long, I am surprised that each movies doesn't get the 2 disc treatment to ensure the quality of the video/audio and the royal treatment regarding extras. I...

    First half of 2002 - really slow half year for dvd releases

    I don't know about everyone else but the first six months of 2002 for me has been really slow in terms of quality or big dvd releases. I have only bought 5 dvds so far this year (Atlantis:CE; Sixth Sense and Unbreakable Vista Series, Hunchback of Notre Dame and Iron Monkey). Geez...

    Warner Bros: Any chance of original "KUNG FU" tv series for dvd release?

    Hi, Warner Bros. I am just wondering if there are any plans to release "Kung Fu" (the original tv series) onto dvd? I know the actual quality of the martial arts sequences weren't all that high but what really attracted me to the series was the acting, storylines and philosophy. It would be...

    Disney's forthcoming BEAUTY &THE BEAST dvd - complete except for missing music video

    Hope you are right Luke. However when I was looking at the detailed listing of extras per the press release on DVDFile, it did not mention any other music video besides that done by the JUMP 5 group. You would think it should be a no-brainer to include the original music video by Bryson/Celine...

    Disney's forthcoming BEAUTY &THE BEAST dvd - complete except for missing music video

    Looking at the specifications and extras for Disney's BEAUTY and THE BEAST dvd, it looks like it will have almost everything that you would want on the dvd. The only noteworthy item that was missing was the music video by Peabo Bryson and Celine Dion. Does anyone know if it will be included...

    Anyone received disc 4 of JPIII in Canada?

    Received both Dragonheart and the Jurassic 4th disc & box earlier this week (Feb. 25th, I believe). Had sent in the offer the day after Jurassic Park III came out on dvd. The flap for the box came slightly creased but nothing major. The bonus Jurassic disc arrived floating loose in its case...

    Atlantis:Lost Empire (R1-Canada) possible defect...

    Well Paul you are a lucky one. I am on my third copy of the movie and it skips/audio drop out at the exact same spot (chapter 6 at 27:22). I don't think it is a problem with the dvd player as I have the Pioneer Elite DV-05 (couple of years old) and this is the first disc that I have had any...

    Atlantis:Lost Empire (R1-Canada) possible defect...

    Yes, I am getting the same audio dropouts (no sound) for about 2 or 3 seconds at about 27:22 of Atlantis:Lost Empire (Collector Edition) in all of the soundtracks (ie. Dolby Digital, dts, french 5.1, audio commentary). I exchanged it for another copy and got the same problem. I have a Pioneer...

    Vancouver residents: Where to go now for new releases?

    I usually go to Future Shop. They are usually pretty good about getting the new releases out on Tuesday (unless there are some distribution problems). And their prices are more times than not, the best in town.

    The Simpsons Season 2 DVD Box set - when and what extras?

    Now that season 1 of The Simpsons is out on dvd and selling pretty well I sure, has anyone heard of when Season 2 will come out and with what extras? I thought I had read somewhere that if sales were good, season 2 could possibly come out late this year. In terms of extras, I thought having...

    Any one has Quigley Down Under yet? Any reviews available yet?

    I know it doesn't come out on dvd yet until September 4th but I am just wondering if anyone has gotten it early and has any comments regarding it. In my opinion, it is a very underrated (down under) western and probably Tom Selleck's best movie. It looks like a pretty barebones dvd release...

    Shaw Bros. movies finally to come out on dvd

    Was hoping for more of a reaction than this so far. Hey guys, this could potentially mean quality dvd releases for such classic movies that the West might know as "Master Killer" (original title "36th Chamber of Shaolin"), "Shaolin Challenges Ninja" (original title "Heroes of the East") and the...
