I'm curious to know what the process is in converting a film from standard-def to high-def (Blu-ray)? An obvious example would be the new "Casablanca" release on Blu-ray. Any comments appreciated.

Does anyone know if these recent Universal releases are re-mastered compared to the older "Collector's Editions"? Also, any news on a possible Blu-ray release for these titles. I don't want to have to "triple-dip" if a Blu-ray release is in the works. Anyone?

Anyone know if Universal has any plans to release the latest standard-def versions of "Vertigo", "Psycho" & "Rear Window" on Blu-ray down the road? I have the older versions of these films, and would like to get the new remastered versions, but will wait if any Blu-ray plans are in the works...

I'm looking to purchase a 2nd player to go along with my Samsung BD1400 Blu-ray. My main reason is to be able to watch Region2 DVD's on my 52" 1080p Samsung LCD. My understanding is that both the OPPO DV-981HD & the DV-980H are region-free players, so my question is this: what are the main...

Over the last few days I have noticed a vertical green line at the extreme left edge (running from top to bottom) of my 3-month old Samsung 52" 1080p LCD TV. This line only appears when watching television (both HD & SD), and only when the tv is set to the "just scan" option. It never appears...

Hello, A friend is buying me some obscure European films (not available in N.America, and not ever likely to be) on DVD, and I'm wondering what the best way to watch them would be. I currently have a Samsung BD-P1400 Blu-ray player, and also a Samsung DVD-1080P7 DVD player, both of which are...

I posted this earlier, and I'm still hoping someone can give me some advice. My question is about the Arcam AVP700 & P1000 HT combo. Does anyone have any experiences with these two components they would be willing to share? I am currently using an Arcam 9/9P 2-channel set-up, but would like to...

Hello, I have the opportunity to purchase a used (less than 1 yr.-old) ARCAM AVP700 & P1000 HT system to go with my new Samsung 52" 1080p LCD TV. I am familiar with Arcam's audio systems, as I am currently using an Alpha 9/9P 2-channel system, so I expect this new system would be pretty...

I know this is probably a dumb question, but can someone explain the difference between the 16:9 and Just Scan options on my Samsung 52" 1080p LCD? Many Thanks !!

Hello Everyone, I am new here, and new to the world of HT, so would like to ask a couple of questions. I have just purchased a Samsung 52" 1080p LCD TV along with a BD-P1400 Blu-ray player. These are connected to an Arcam system playing through 2 bi-amped B&W speakers. The system is set-up in...
