    can anyone help with advice regarding Region 5 releases of Hollywood movies prior to Region 1 releas

    Before I start, I want to be 100% legitimate here, I don't want to get into discussions about piracy so please keep that for dedicated threads. It has come to my attention that many Hollywood movies are released on Region 5 before Region 1 & just as people used to import DVD from the USA into...

    GEORGE A. ROMERO'S DIARY OF THE DEAD coming to DVD 20/5 by Weinstein, why no presale?

    I saw this on a dealer list back in February & it still appears on dealer lists but nobody on the net seems to be taking orders for it. I was hoping to see artwork by now being just over 6 weeks away but no such luck. Why has there been no official announcement or web sites taking...

    Can anyone take a high quality screen shot from Heroes: Season 1 HD-DVD to blow up?

    Hi guys, thanks for your response, it's actually while Peter & Mohinder are talking before the bit you mention (I didn't wanna mention that in case someone is gonna watch the series for the first time). It's not such a close up, that's why I couldn't see the detail but it shows Peter from...

    Can anyone take a high quality screen shot from Heroes: Season 1 HD-DVD to blow up?

    This may sound odd but I want to find out if Peter Petrelli wears the same watch as me. In the episode that ends with him & Mohinder Suresh on a subway train, I think it may be around the 4th or 5th episode, it shows Peters wrist quite close up, he may be holding onto one of the trains hold...

    1408 DVD due for release Oct 2nd:the next DVD to have Unrated WS & Rated P&S versions

    This is happening a lot now but they're usually PG-13 rated films so does that mean the extra content on the Unrated version would be suitable for an R rating or would have to be NC-17 if shown in cinemas?

    Gemini Man - When will we get to relive this brilliant 70's TV classic?

    I vaguely remember watching this as a kid & thought even though he only had a few seconds of invisibility each day, it was better than The Invisible Man. I so wish it would come out on DVD so I could see if it's as good as I remember it.

    Jackie Chan's New Police Story DVD not OAR?

    According to imdb.com this movie was shot in 2.35:1 but the sites I can find that show a ratio including rottentomates.com & dvdplanet.com say 1.85:1 so is the DVD Pan & Scan or zoomed & cropped or neither? imdb.com also says it used Super 35 so maybe you see virtually the whole frame if it...

    HD DVD Drives

    We must be on the same wavelength, those opening their new Toshiba boxes made me wonder when those of us that prefer the HTPC route will get the same thrill. I guess Pioneer's BRD-101A and NEC's HR-1100A are the ones to look out for. Has anyone seen these units listed on the net for...

    Will HD Players show SD-DVD as we've never seen before?? (natively)

    Those used to HTPCs with ever improving software, going back to TheaterTek (1.0) a few years back & many others since, with the option of incorporating programs like FFD Show will no doubt tell you "SD" DVD can look so good without throwing money at an expensive machine that will be outdated...

    HD player competition out in full force

    The hardest pill to swallow for the early adopters is when the 2nd generation come out cheaper & perform FAR superior to the 1st generation. Then those who buy 2nd generation have to swallow a pill just the same when 3rd generation machines come out. How does your DVD500 look now Peter?

    Updated schedule with as many "correct" release dates as possible for both formats

    The reason I put the word correct in speech marks is because who knows what's gonna change in the next couple of months going by what's happened so far. All HD-DVD dates up until the end of May & Blu-Ray dates up until the end of June with both day & month are direct from the studio this week...
