Some time ago, back in the dark ages, I went looking for a pair of good stereo speakers. Since My buds were extoling the virtues of Bose systems, these were some of the first speakers I auditioned. Frankly I was underwhelmed by what I listened to locally, so, I stuck my receiver under my...

Many thanks for posting this Jonny K. I'm in the biginning stages of my own HT and find your screen construction very usefull. I wouldn't fret too much about using cedar for the construct. It has aromatic properties that vermin don't like. Very appropriate for me in SW Florida. Tony...

"Have a good weekend. " Back at ya! And if you would be so kind - A heads up and comment, if you do obtain that Superbit edition, thank you. Cheers!

Thanks Brent. This movie is on my short list. I'm happy that Warner did the transfer right. "the dialogue was lower than the racing sequences which had me raising and lowering the volume to some degree." I don't understand why they can make the effort to get a good transfer, and then fall...

Thanks Adam, for your detailed explanation. I guess this is why we need revues and forums like this one. I'll make sure all purchases are carefully researched before I invest.

"I am concerned whether or not the quality improves on the Superbit from the standard-issue first release of the film from Columbia," Please help out a less knowledgeable member: I always thought that Superbit meant a higher bitrate transfer of a film, than that of stantard DVD. The process...

If the Superbit version of Vampires is still available, and displays well, I might be happy with that. A better transfer of Big Trouble in Little China is certainly needed imo.

I have to agree most emphatically. I read through the above list with my mouth hanging open. I really don't understand why so many great titles are being ignored. If Warner can make a profit from their releases, Universal could do the same. The World in his Arms. One of the best filmed racing...

I'm not playing. Period. First, Software: The present "standard" DVD format is poorly utilized by the studios. They still havn't learned that "anamorphic" is what is wanted and needed. If they want my money, I would rather see the present standard improved. Less compression, higher bit rate...

Good news indeed. History of the World and Young Frankinstein are on my short list.

1) Flash Gordon 2) Lifeforce 3) Photographing Fairies 4) Trapeze 5) Captain Ron (seriously needs a new anamorphic representation) First few give me reason to purchase a good region free player rather than buy into the HD/BR balony. (Balogna, for you purists) ;)

Lexx. First season. Four made for TV 2 hour movies. Finally got around to watching 1.0. What a trip.:D I had forgotten how many neat things were crammed into this series. While I realize the later seasons had some critics, I'll go for more just to prolong the fun.

Heh! Forgot about this thread. I am glad that its generated some useful information for those of us that are betwixt and between. I'm going to have to do some serious interviewing of displays when decision time comes around. (To be very honest, the thought of looking up at Lee Van Cleefs...

Possibly. I have what appears to be a give-away or handbill for the world premier of the Blue Max hanging over my computer. (aviation fan) Heh, reserved seats are $2.50. :D Theres another of Joan of Arc (Bergman) kicking around here someplace. 10x13. Both original. Purchased some twenty years...

Hi Stephan: I've had good results from Warner in replaceing a disk that had problems. Try...... Warner Home Video Business and Legal Affairs 4000 Warner Blvd. Burbank, Ca. 91522

The Abominable Doctor Phibes and Dr. Phibes Rises Again are two of my favorite love stories. ;) Still available as SS/SL if you look around.

Well, I sent it back. For those who are interested....stay tuned to this continueing saga. :D

The more of this type of information I read, the more I want a region free player.:frowning: Definitely will make the leap when my old Panny dies or when I upgrade the TV.

Lifeforce really deserves an anamorphic reissue. Since this is a Sony property, I'm not holding my breath.

(and freezes):frowning: Sent it back to Warner and received a new sealed copy three weeks later, with a nice letter. The new copy exhibits the same skipping and freezing on both my old Panny DVD player and on the newer computer DVD player. It does this at the same time hack about 1/5th into...

Sharpe's Rifles, Sharpe's Revenge, etc.? Not Disney, but PBS. Very well acted and outfitted Napoleanic era series. May be available in DVD.

Thanks Phil.

So there would be no difference in PQ of Superbit over s DVD?

Hmm...According to the Amazon ad, the double was released 5/22/01. The single was released 8/27/02. Fox devolved it. Way to go Fox. :frowning:

in Little China. Which edition is best. There's a 2 disk special edition that may be oop. There is also a single disk available that I believe came out a year later. Thanks

Many thanks. Most likely won't buy into the new format untill next year, when I upgrade my display. Still buying DVD's, however.

Many of the new adopters have checked in with good reports of how well the new players are presenting standard def DVD. I'm curious if any have checked out Superbit titles. PQ etc. Thanks.

There are probably a few of us in the same boat, Michael. Please give us the benefit of your thoughts, after the initial "wow" factor.;)

Hmmm... Hope someone comes to your aid. The scenario seeme a bit like a Horatio Hornblower series that was well done (imo). However I don't recall a Fairbanks type charactor.

Photographing Fairies Toby Stephens, Emily Woof, Ben Kingsley, Francis Barber. Excellant acting, photography, and score. Unfortunately lent my copy to a "friend" and neither came back. Now only available in region 1 in VHS (oop). May be available as a DVD in region 2. Apologies if this...
