I’d love to win this expansive version of the film! Please and thank you!!!

Just wanted to recommend Deja Vu, an alternative to Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper: Déjà Vu I have used Deja Vu for years, and I prefer how it is a part of System Preferences as opposed to a standalone app. It's extremely easy too. Just pick the folder/ disk you want to back up, and then...

Found a word in a website you don't know the meaning of? In Safari, highlight the word and then press and hold Apple (or Command)+Control+D Voila! Instant dictionary on the fly! (If memory serves me correctly, I think you may only have to hover over the word and press the key combo to...

Thank you all for the informative replies. I just wanted to add some closure to the thread: I had a lazy afternoon today so I decided to just see if I could exchange it at Wal-Mart. Sure enough, they let me trade without any problem, and I now have brand new discs without any defects! :)

I checked mine last night after reading this thread and thankfully, I have a fixed copy. Great movie by the way, even if it isn't part of the 007 canon.

I received the Band Of Brothers series on DVD this past Christmas, and just recently got the opportunity to sit down and watch them all, and I noticed a problem. When I first opened the DVD set, a few discs were stuck to the plastic casing they were in. It took a little bit of extra force to...

It's a fairly loud electrical pop. Can someone please explain arcing to me, and what I could possibly do about it?

Hey all, My 27-inch RCA Flat Screen has begun exhibiting problems. Occasionally, when on, the television will make an electrical "pop" sound while simultaneously visually popping a type of "electrical interference line" on the screen. This issue lasts all of about a half second, but its...

I currently find myself with a "Panasonic SC-AK66 Dolby Pro Logic Home Theater Compact Stereo System ", found here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...lance&n=172282 I am pretty budget conscious, so I stumbled upon the proceeding subwoofer by Sony...

Yeah, I think that Sony is well solidified with established A-List titles. I wouldn't be so fast to discredit them in favor of Microsoft. Microsoft may have all the money in the game, but history proves that Sony has all the experience. This will be why I will pick up a PS3 come November, and...

Ok, obviously, this thread has become pointless. Yes, I would presume that these are pretty basic questions. Unfortunately, my book is not much a help in determining these questions because these questions have been created by teachers (other than my own), rather than the book's key. Surely even...

Ok, I didn't post these questions to get berated by the school police. I am a person of good character and would not post such a thread full knowing that it was wrong in doing so. "Working them out through our own methods" was simply my phraseology in explaining that it was ok to ask for outside...

Yes, that is my understanding. Our previous tests have been 2 hour in-class sessions. For our final test (not the exam), we were allowed to take it home and work them out through our own methods. Thanks for the time conscious reply!

Hey all, for our final we were given a take-home test for my Accounting 101 class. There are several questions that have stumped me however. If you could lend a helping hand I would be much appreciative. Thanks so much! (This exam is due early tomorrow morning (Monday, 8:00AM 7-25-05) Q1...

Yeah, I've thought about S-Video- I have my PS2 hooked up via components, so I guess thats the image I'm hoping to get from my DVD Player. Although, I wonder, since I've grown used to my PS2 on component cables, am I just expecting too much from my cheap player, and would be better off just...

Wow, now this little 'ol DVD Player feels out of place on a page full of threads about Denons, etc, but I was wondering if anyone has any experience with a CH-DVD 500. More specifically, in regards to the hookups they use. I have what I consider to be a fairly good TV (A nice RCA 27 inch flat...

That's one of the most suspenseful HT stories I've heard, give the guy an award! Seriously though, I can only imagine how you felt during all those tense moments. Its great to hear all is back to normal again!

Hey Steve. I'm definitely no expert on this sort of thing, but from what I gather, if your TV is not Progressive Scan ready, there's no way you can get progressive scan out of it, even if you have a Progressive Scan DVD Player. The PS DVD Player just means that it is ready for PS when you have a...

Hmm. Good point Martin. I guess then the question is how true of a true story do you want it to be? lol If you want near full-on authenticity, "Black Hawk Down" is good, although not for the less action inclined. :emoji_thumbsup:

I just saw "A Beautiful Mind" for the first time today, and it is really good. It's an absolutely intriguing movie, I highly recommend it, :D

Another question- Is it possible for 2 players to share the same profile? (By copying it or other means?) In Thunder 2003, we both could choose from all the unlocked paint schemes; in 2004, only the person who unlocked the schemes is allowed to use them. If anyone knows of a way where 2 players...

Thanks for the reply! I'm at EA Bio Level 11 now, so I guess I'm on my way, and will find out soon enough. ;)

Hey everybody- just a quick question. How do you unlock the Bud Shootout at Daytona, and The All Star Race at Lowes? You can't unlock them by conventional means (beating the regular races at the track first).

I just wanted to pay my respects also, to a great seasoned veteran of the big screen. I grew up watching his movies secondhand while my father watched them. I especially remember him in "The Great Escape", as the soldier with claustrophobia. Rest in Peace Charles, you will be missed.

Thanks, I'll look into it! :D

Not particularly looking for SACD or DVD Audio; just need 5.1 Analog Out for a 5.1 Speaker System I have. Inclusion of DD and DTS would be prefered, too. Budget would probably be $200 bucks or less, so I know that limits my options, but stranger things have happened, ;)

Hey guys and gals, just a question: Does anyone know of any standalone DVD Players that feature 5.1 Analog Out and possibly include decoding for both Dolby Digital AND DTS? Thanks!

Thanks Jeff and Rich, that's what I was wanting to know! :emoji_thumbsup:

Thanks Wayne, it looks like those are some methods I should look into. As for my confusion, I had no doubt that ya'll understood what I was getting across, lol, I just figured I wasn't explaining it very well to everybody. 'Cause usually I'm all it takes to throw off anybody! :D

I noticed that a DVD Player I recently bought said it featured "Dual Laser Pickup". From all my searches on the internet, all I have found is that this "enhances viewing of all formats". Whoopie. Anybody have any good information on what it really does and how it helps? Thanks!
