Thanks for the interesting report, man, especially the Dolby TrueHD part ;)

Kingfish, I do not wish to cancel my orders because they are not charging cc before the actual shipping, and on some other forum I've read the message that indeed they have transferred their business to their biggest DVD supplier Alliance, although Allience itself seems to be ceasing...

I personally wondered the same thing, that they are closing doors really, cause the message is already way more than for 48 hours and they have just partially filled and sent my order, while the remaining titles remains unsent. If they are closing doors forever - it will be a big loss for the...

When I first read the title of this thread, I've read it as "PoRno on Blu-Ray"... Guess I am not alone, or else I am too corrupted :)

Hmm, more of them - better, but what about the quality of their transfers/presentation?

Johnny, you are welcome, but keep in mind that the quality of Russian releases are usually worse than their R1 and R2 counterparts and there are usually no extras or very little supplements, really :) So I think it is better to wait a little and buy the better quality product than to shop for...

Most of R5 discs are Russian, I suppose, and yes, most of the titles which are released before R1 are pirated stuff, although there are some legit releases as well, which our distributors dump to official DVDs early in hope to beat pirates. Two of the biggest online stores in Russia for books...

Yea, right - everybody rush to their computers to order PPV compressed videos from some "new independent distribution" sites... Sure - it is the future, like the physical media is dead within a couple of years and everybody just downloading digital crap off the Internet - yeap, you are right...

Got this letter today as well - and was really sad about their decision, although can understand it. So - as I've exclusively was ordering only from them from UK - can anybody recommend me another UK e-tailer with good prices and cheap international shipping? BlackStar, Amazon.Uk?

For international customers DVDPacific is the best, for the American ones - dunno, but they are ones of the best anyway :)

Sanja, some of your points are valid and understandable to me, but most are not, at least for me. And, btw, if your Windows crash - blame it on the bad/overclocked hardware and not the OS itself, as my Win XP Pro SP 2 has never crashed on me running on quality hardware (mostly ASUS) in its...

Guys, I don't want to start a flame war here and being offtopic, but since basically last two pages people are discussing PS3 and xBox 360 here praising the gaming experience, and Call of Duty 4 especially - I have a question - why you won't play it on the good PC then? :) I am sure that on my...

Dunno about States, but here, in Moscow, Russia - it is already in theaters with a wide release. Trailer for it looks like shit, though, and especially annoying is that flat-faced girl, Devon Aoki. Just one look at her gives me desire to puke, (and to see her for 90 minutes is overkill) but...

Hi, Since this movie is a childhood favorite of mine and also IMAGE Ent. is releasing it on June 22th in "Full Frame" version I have a question - what is this film's original aspect ratio??? IMDB has no info other than the length in meters - so - any correct info out there? My only hope is...

Hi, people I was wondering - can anyone explain to me why are there "shifting artifacts" on some discs - usually they are in the scenes when camera is slightly changes position - and part or some parts of the picture is shifting. Sometimes it is terribly annoying. The recent example of where...

Thanks :) Seems that the disk is good enough... Ordering it :)

Hi, people. Just would like to ask those who already bought and watched the latest release from Media Blaster's line "Shriek Show" - Rollin's movie "Fiancee of Dracula". Particularly - i am interested in the video quality of the presentation. Is it good without artifacts? Or what? I am asking...

Hehe, Leif, we are everywhere... ;) And actually - as I understand such music is not so big in America, sadly. So - I am in great doubt that you'll have most of these disks released domestically there. So - seems that the only chances for you to see them is - to get multi-regional player with...

Hi, Leif :) As I am a big fan of such music (dark/doom/gothic etc.) I can help you a little with some advices :) First of all - there are several BIG DVD publishers of such music right now in Europe. The first one and the biggest so far is - Nuclear Blast label with such releases like famous...

Hi guys :) Thanks a lot for the detailed explanation once again, Eric -great summary! :) So - now I see that I really need to avoid this G80 series :) Heh...

Hi, again guys :) Thanks for all kind of info you have provided. Heh... But actually - I can not see what is wrong with G 80... }:> The episode with Earth and Halloween (I do remember that this robot was seemed by everybody like a dude with a cool costume ;)) I did like back then - but have not...

Thanks, Jeff! You are very informative, as usual - thanks a lot! Now I have no "backthoughts" and is eagerly awaiting this release :) And now I have some concrete question about the series. Back in 80's here were floating some VHS copies of some series and I saw most of them - but I haven't...

And I have the question about the Galactica's OAR :) At the Australian page they says that the AR of the disks will be 4:3 Tv standard. So - my question is - what is the ORIGINAL aspect ratio of the series? Was it shot really 4:3 having in mind that it is TV series, or as it was with "V" series...

Heh, being in Europe and being used to PAL as the native format here, I have placed the order for this wonderful boxset... BUT - I am sure that Region 1 release (if there will be) will be better in terms of overall quality and possibly - content. So - Universal - release it in Region 1 BEFORE...

Hi again, people :) Jeff, yes - you are right - I am seeing this effect as you have described (probably much better than I had :)) - and this is really crappy if you can see it on your Progressive setup. And now to Gunnar - yes - seems that we are talking about the same crap, but in my case - I...

Hi, Neil Actually - all of the DVD's I have mentioned with this strange effect - in fact and for sure are ANAMORPHIC :) More than that - they were produced in 2001 - 4 years after the launch of DVD - with the modern compression and authoring methods (at least Ilsa movies - they were produced by...

Hi, Mark and all the others... In Russia the TV standard is SECAM :))) But really - all TV-sets sold here can show SECAM, PAL & in some cases even NTSC without any problems. And there is no pixelation during these shifts. Also - almost all of the disks of my collection - are Region 1 -...

Hi people, Always wanted to know one thing. On some DVD's in my collection (for example - Ilsa series from AB, Ginger Snaps - Canadian CC, and some others) there are occasional effedt of this kind during the playback. Some "shifts" is going one in the picture - for example - in Ginger Snaps...

To Bryant Frazer: You wrote: "I remember that the old Elite DVD featured a gorgeous transfer hampered by some pretty bad MPEG-2 artifacts. I can't imagine this one being worse." I dunno what kind of equipment and the screen you have (or have had), but actually, when I saw this disk on my...

Thanks for your answers, guys - now I clearly understand the situation :)
