I have been using an InFocus X1 for about a month now and can say it is a spectacular projector for home theater use (in Film mode). One of the things that impressed me a lot was the nice geometry my unit displayed. By that I mean I could project the image onto my new DaLite Model-B Matte...

Very nice review Stuart, Thank you... I think it's neat that it was Altman's biggest money maker (I think he hated it - he,he). I will certainly be picking this one up as it has always fascinated me.

A chapter listing title card was included in my R1 "Kiki" set. So, yes it should be in all three R1 DVD offerings...

Also, Castle in the Sky's Japanese track has the original music by Joe Hisaishi as well, which is way cool. I especially like comparing that score with his new (bigger) one commissioned for Disney’s later U.S. English track release (which I guess never happened). It’s very interesting to...

After many tests I have confirmed that the english track is out-of-sync 15-frames (approx. 1/2 sec.). That includes sound effects, music and dialog (everything). Don't ask me how because I'm not allowed to answer. I will say that the results of the sound shift are great though. The care in...

After checking this DVD on four different DVD players (2-Sony DVP-NS755Vs, PowerDVD-XP, and Sonic CinePlayer 1.5) I can tell you that for some reason all three language tracks are off. So, if you check the "broom slap" scene (for instance) on each of the 3 tracks it's off the same amount...

Interesting raucous angle this thread is going here... Just to throw a little gas on it. If you think D-VHS is a rip, just wait till OLED hits the market next year. Many here are stating that current display devices can't measure up to true HD output and that is true. Many have also spent...

Yes, thanks to both of you, Jeff and Dave for gettin this thing rolling. I hope something good can come of it. Over and out!

Yes, thank you!

Well, I'm afraid for "My Neighbor Totoro". While I detest P&S I still bought the DVD because I wanted Totoro on that format AND because I'm in love with Steamlines english dub (also I think I paid like $10 for this masterpiece). Even though Troma/Fox didn't do us any favors with their mono...

One final note, I'm surprized you "perfectionatos" didn't notice, is the way the Kiki trailors were presented. Obviously, they were 1:85 letterbox originals and then mistakenly rerendered in animorphic. The result effect looks like Kiki got smashed into Cinemascope. Now I'm gettin adamant...

David, I have checked on four separate DVD players (2-PowerDVD-XL v4 PCs and 2-Sony DVP-NS755V standalones) and all have exhibited the same thing (and ALL exactly the same way) - Kiki is out-of-sync (including the dialog - but not as noticeable). You know it and I know it and those who...

I agree with Jeff. Somehow the FX tracks on all three language tracks are out-of-sync while the vocals seem okay and therein lies the frustrating problem. Many non-discriminating viewers will let it pass, because it kinda looks in-sync (ouch). As far as someone suggesting that the broomstick...

Actually, I'm not demanding anything, and the film is off about a half-second actually. I'm just bringing the point up that the disc IS not properly in-sync. Hey, I can author an in-sync DVD myself. It's just plain sloppy handling of a great filmmakers work and if it isn't in-sync than it's...

Thanks Jeff, I hope your input can make things happen... Boy, I sure hope there's enough interest in the R1 edition of "Kiki's Delivery Service" to warrant a fix. Many like me have waited (patiently) for years to get this title on DVD only to have it get botched. And, to add insult to...

Well Jeff, I was able to access the J-Track, but only after having to stop and restart the DVD and then go thru the menus to finally do it. If I tried to just go straight to it (like I usually can do) the disc would just stop. Not so good. The other 2 Miyazaki discs work fine. However, this...

It's been a long time since I posted last, but this unfortunate find makes me do it. I have owned Kiki's Delivery Service on VHS for many years and (unlike some) was quite impressed with the english dub that Disney did for it. It almost seemed that it was intended for english. So, when the...

Alas, this "new" MGM release of Casino Royale is "sans" the Columbia Pictures logo (with all the controversy this picture has gone thru (over the years) I'm surprised that MGM even put their logo on it). This crazy film meant so much to me in the sixties, what an incredible music score Burt...
