Great point Eric, Kemcha. When I was watching Ponyo in the theaters, when I heard Ponyo's Dad, Fujimoto (voiced by Liam Neeson), all I could hear was Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn (>_

Hi Edwin-S, Thank you for the clarification. Phew! OK, so if we choose Japanese Audio and then choose English Subtitles, it will switch over to *Proper* English Subtitles (with no SDH / Closed Captioning for the Hearing Impaired). Good. It's just unfortunate about the lossy Original Japanese...

Hi All, Looks like the folks at The Digital Bits posted up contact info for Disney Customer Service. I just sent them an e-mail on this. If you do want to see Lossless Audio and (at least) Proper English Subtitles, please let them know! [Note: If lossless original language audio is important...

Wow, I agree with Carl (and thanks Matt for the clarification): * There's no proper English Subtitles for this Blu-Ray? :( Sigh. This is definitely frustrating. Does anyone know of an e-mail address that we can contact Disney / start some online petition to get them to realize that quite a...

Hi Matt, Thanks for the great review. :) @ Adam: FYI, Buena Vista / Disney confirmed that Nausicaa of the Valley of Wind would be coming to Blu-Ray in Japan this summer! :) (Which thankfully we can all play w/ our U.S. Blu-Ray Players :) (love it!). They also said they were going to be...

Hi Scott, Thanks for the thoughts. I don't have an Oppo, so do you think the U.K. release with the Subtitles running into the letterboxing is going to be a problem for me? (I'm running a Sony PS3.) Thanks. I may just wait for that U.S. Blu-Ray release.

Hi Crawdaddy, Thanks for the tip (and thoughts on the Blu-Ray). :)

@ Jesse, Thanks for the links; sounds like the Video and Audio transfer turned out to be pretty good (no major issues). :) @ Cameron, Thanks for the Best Buy link. Wow, that's news to me. How accurate is Best Buy.com for street dates and such? Amazon.com doesn't even have this listing. Thanks.

Hi All, How's the video and audio quality for the Bundle-Only (boo! :( Blu-Ray release for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon from Sony? I haven't found a definitive review for the Blu-Ray yet. Thanks in advance.

Hi All, Just bumping this thread for news on a possible U.S. release for Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind on Blu-Ray? Amazon.com strangely had it lasted on their site for a while and then it went out of print (released last month, supposedly). Some people claim to be selling it used on...

Woo Hoo! Finally. :)

Hey Craig, Thanks for the heads up! Did all 4 Color Buttons work for the "Bookmark" feature? Or if not, can you confirm which one was it? (I guess I can just press them all, but I just wanted to check :)). Thanks~

Hey TonyD, Thanks. Well if the "Memory / Bookmark" function is programmed into the Blu-Ray disc, how does one activate it on the PS3? Is it just "automatic" if it was programmed right? (so that after you Power Down, and turn it back on, it just returns to the last stop?) Thanks~

Hi All, (Apologies in advance if this was answered: I skimmed most of the pages in this thread but couldn't find the answer) * Does anyone know if the Sony PS3 Blu-Ray Player has some sort of "Memory" function? (so you can bookmark / stop the disc and return to the same spot you were last...

Hey Jeff, Very nice! :) Was there any Sticker or anything you noticed on the packaging of your Pirates Case that would indicate it was the Fixed Version? I hope there's an easy way to tell (I'm still holding out on buying it until I know I'm getting the corrected version). Thanks.

Nice! Thanks for the update, Adam! :) I can't wait to see more PIXAR films on Blu-Ray, and now with Sleeping Beauty on Blu-Ray coming, that means the rest of the great Disney classics should be coming soon! Beauty & The Beast, Aladdin, Little Mermaid, etc.

Hey Matt, Thanks for the review! :) I agree it may not be the best in the trilogy, but I still enjoyed it much more than the 2nd Film. And Johnny Depp is SO on target in this film! :) And Keira Knightley and Orlando Bloom are fun. :) I can't wait to hear the Linear PCM 5.1 track! Sounds...

Hey Matt, Great review! :) Disney / Pixar's Ratatouille (Blu-Ray) is seriously the most gorgeous High-Def video I've seen. :eek: It was a blast watching this. I hope to see more of Pixar's releases on Blu-Ray soon (so I can upgrade my whole collection). ;)

Hey Duncan, Thanks for the heads-up. :) Do you have a Review of either of these 2 BBC series (or have a link to a good review of them)? I'm curious what other BBC series on Blu-Ray are available and what are worth getting. ;) Thanks.

Hey Ronald, Congrats on your first Blu-Ray Player! ;) And "Thank You!" for your quick review of Dracula on Blu-Ray. Hearing it from you and RAH (and many others), I'm definitely excited about getting my copy of Dracula this week, and checking it out for myself. :) Regardless of the...

Hey All, Like many others, I want to really thank RAH and Dave Mack for this very insightful and interesting topic. That's why I love HTF as well. :) That being said, (and Dave, I'm glad you did bring up your concerns), I have to agree with RAH, at this point, we're beating a dead horse...

Thanks all! That's good news (about the New Calibration Disc). I'll be on the lookout for it. :)

Hi All, Back when DVD first broke on the market, I picked up a Video/Audio Calibration disc (Avia) based on recommendations from my A/V Guru friends. :) Is there a similar disc to this for Blu-Ray? Or is it even necessary? Thanks!

I was totally floored by the "stealth" release of this, sigh. Heheh. I must've missed this thread last year. I am disappointed that there seems to be zero advertising / marketing for this release (even Digital Bits didn't seem to have any word on this (or I probably missed it (^_^;)). This is...

David, Thanks for the update! Please let us all know if you get more details about that UK DVD release of the Japanese import film "Shall We Dance?" :) If any more details show up like "Deleted Scenes" and extras, etc. Is it Miramax that is putting it out there also? As you said, here's...

Hi All, Apologies in advance if this topic was covered (nothing came up in my search), but with the new Hollywood remake of "Shall We Dance?" (w/ J Lo and Richard Gere)(shudder), do you think there's a good chance we can finally see a DVD release for the great 1996 Japanese import film "Shall...

Hi Charlie, Thanks for the update. Sigh. That new HD transfer sounds wonderful! :) Can you elaborate a bit further on whether the "Black Rain" SE DVD is held up because of Paramount/studio wishes, or if it's just Ridley is too busy and can't do it right now? (or both?) Thanks!

Hi Folks, Just checking in to see if there's any news on the possibility of Ridley Scott doing a brand-new transfer / "Special Edition" DVD for his, IMHO, underrated film "BLACK RAIN"? I remember reading on... Digital Bits(?) a few years back about an interview w/ Ridley Scott & his...

One other general question: * Were there any of Pixar's famous "Outtakes" for Finding Nemo? I've tried looking around, but haven't found any.

Hi David, Great review. I'm a little late, but I just watched my Finding Nemo DVD on my calibrated setup (Hitachi 51" RP HDTV, Panasonic DVD-RP82, Component) and wanted to mention that there's definitely MPEG noise, banding and overcompression apparent on my system :frowning:. I also...
