    ***Official Digital Video Essentials Discussion Thread***

    I've been following the discussion and I'm still wondering how DVE compares with other discs like AVIA and Sound & Vison Home Theater Tune-Up (2001)? I have the S&V. Is there a strong argument to purchase DVE? Sorry if this is considered way off thread. -thanks

    Any R L Burnside fans out there?

    Kevin, you should pick up Too Bad Jim. It was produced by the late writer/producer Robert Palmer. Its really an essential blues album. (You should also pick up another Palmer produced album by the late Junior Kimbrough, All Night Long). Pocket of Whiskey was done in collaboration with Jon...

    Ron, great to hear your recommendations! Some terrific films on your list, but unfortunately little justice has been done to most of them on DVD. Even recent transfers like High Noon have come up short as many have previously discussed on the forum. A real shame.

    Partial specs announced on Open Range DVD. Let's hope Buena Vista delivers the goods on this transfer. According to DavisDVD:

    Maybe someone can help me. Everything that I have read in reviews and from folks here is that The Searchers is only an adequate to good transfer. It appears to fall well short of Warner's best efforts. Yet, I see a number of people recommending it in a thread focused on identifying the...

    It's great to hear people's picks! FWIW, it might be worthwhile to point out that Brent opened up this thread simply because there hadn't been much discussion on quality Westerns based on story AND picture/sound transfer. :) There are a couple of long threads already on what are your...
