    A Few Words About A few words about...™ Pollyanna -- in Blu-ray

    I can't help but reply after reading these posts about why the extras are missing on virtually all of Disney's live action catalog BD releases. While I have no inside information or contacts, I'm an observer of Disney over decades, and I can notice trends. This is the company that purposefully...

    Dragon's Lair on Blu-ray

    I have Dragon's Lair for the Xbox which plays in 1080i. Though I never finished it, I liked it a lot. Is the Blu-Ray Dragon's Lair you rented the same as the Xbox game or the old arcade machine?

    Sleeping Beauty BD - 2008

    I own the old 2 disc SD Special Edition of Sleeping Beauty from 2003. Though someday I plan to buy the BR version solely for the video upgrade, what confuses me is that sites like Amazon list both the 2 disc SD and 3 disc BR Platinum editions as new releases. Is this 2 disc SD Platinum edition...

    Douglas Monce wrote: "I have also noticed that the menus on my HD DVD of The Searchers no longer works. I think it has something to do with the last update for the HD DVD players." I have the same menu problems on my Toshiba HD-A30 with factory firmware 1.3 or after upgrading to 3.0. Does...

    David Lynch's DUNE--new DVD (merged thread)

    Timmy_P wrote regarding the Extended Edition layer change: "From the last 5 or 6 pages, It seems to be a consenus: 1:50:38 mark (the extended version)where the big freeze happens." I tried this time code on 2 different players and there was no layer change, and my players aren't that...

    David Lynch's DUNE--new DVD (merged thread)

    From what I've heard from others on previous problematic Made in Mexico DVD-18s, the problems show up before and/or after the layer change. I've seen several error scans of these DVD-18s which back this up (the errors tend to spike up on both sides of the layer change like a mountain in an...

    David Lynch's DUNE--new DVD (merged thread)

    Once someone finds out what Universal will be sending as a replacement for the Dune EE, please post. Unless people start to receive 2 DVD-9s or a DVD-18 that's not from Mexico, I won't bother contacting Universal. Since I can't wait beyond 30 days for my return, I've decided I will try to get a...

    David Lynch's DUNE--new DVD (merged thread)

    I agree that people should keep asking Universal to stop using DVD-18s, but for those of you who are planning to exchange your defective Dune DVD-18 through Universal doing so would be pointless unless: (1) Universal sends you 2 DVD-9 discs (such as the ones they sent to Netflix). or (2)...

    David Lynch's DUNE--new DVD (merged thread)

    Timmy_P, Netflix often gets special single-sided releases of movies. What surprises me is not that they had a 2 disc release of a DVD-18 but that Netflix got a re-release title in the first place and that they counted it as 1 rental instead of 2. Netflix rarely gets re-releases, so I never...

    David Lynch's DUNE--new DVD (merged thread)

    At what time code is the layer change on each side so I can play through that point which is always the worst spot?

    DVD Review HTF Review: Spaceballs - 2 Disc Collector's Edition

    Does anyone know if the widescreen framing on this new edition is correct? In the previous widescreen edition, people often cited how the picture of Princess Vespa's old nose was cut off on the right side due to normal TV overscan, and the opinion seemed to be this was due to the transfer being...

    DVD Review HTF Review: Schindler's List (Highly Recommended!)

    I tried to read through this long thread, but I may have missed a few points. First, has anyone mentioned why DVD File's review says this is a 2-DVD set and doesn't say a word about the break in the movie? I'm wondering if, like the Terminator 2 Ultimate Edition, some packages have...
