They didn't have a replication line for commercial blu ray reproduction, now they do, read into that what you may, call it a rumour, i'd say it's an educated guess that 4K will use 100GB discs, as i already said why don't we just wait and see what happens instead of going back and forth, i'm...

That was not a misreading, they said they were ready with their production line for 4K with three layer blu ray using 100GB discs, i doubt Singulus would announce this unless the next generation blu ray extension was almost ready. Just Google 4K and blu ray extension and the info is out there...

Everything i have read suggests they are calling it an extension to the blu ray format, by that i mean they are still going to be marketed as blu ray discs, long films have been a problem on every disc format, i know the technology is available to use much more capacity than 100GB, they have the...

I believe they are considering this an extension to the current blu ray standard too and i think the way it will work is they will sell a 1080p edition with the 4K version, if they don't do that i think it won't take off. 100GB is enough, the H.265 codec is supposed to get you near 2x times...

They will be using the H.265 codec and 100GB discs, i believe the intent is to make this work with new blu ray players and thus backwards compatible with existing technology, of course you need to invest in a new blu ray player but you needed to do that with 3D too, i prefer to call it 4K and...

They can do 50fps and 60fps ( 59.94 ) but only at 1280x720, also 25fps for UK at 1920x1080 but not 48fps, i think 25fps and 29.97 are interlaced.

Yes but, he isn't in the film as young Bilbo, if Mr Jackson is linking these films he might have specifically shot some scenes with Martin Freeman as young Bilbo to place them in The Lord Of The Rings, that was my main asking point when i made my original post. They could do this relatively...

I wonder if Peter Jackson is going to do a George Lucas on us and replace Ian Holm's early scenes in the first trilogy and replace him with Martin Freeman, perhaps replace the CGI of Gollum so that it fits in better with the Gollum of The Hobbit, releasing these films as single's from the boxset...

If you can give me a timeframe i will put my dvd edition in, its not lossless but it will produce a rumble good enough to test this for you on my own system.

Watch Heavenly Creatures, that might be considered Jackson's finest film, sure Lord Of The Rings is flashier but Heavenly Creatures is a very well told human story.

I'll buy a 12 pack of eggs, i might miss you though and hit someone else and get jailed so i hope you can pop by the police station and get me out. :o) This reminds me, didn't Last Of The Mohicans get a slightly green makeover last year, something happened, as i recall reading many...

I have a pretty good SVS sub, not one of the latest smaller designs, mine is the big box type, 2 12 inch drivers, i also use a Velodyne SMS-1 because i had room node issues, before i got the Velodyne i had a node causing issues at one frequency and boominess, now it sounds great, but having said...

What subwoofer do you have and do you have any bass management system such as a Velodyne SMS-1 ?

What you say is true but Spielberg probably viewed this at the ranch with George Lucas and their cinema viewing experience is going to be radically different, i doubt they would be getting 720p detail levels the way the average cinemagoers did before digital cinema projectors came out. They were...

I agree with your sentiments on the overuse of CGI. I don't think Jurassic Park overused it, now something like G.I Joe, maybe or even Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull which i felt was lacking in atmosphere perhaps due to overuse of green screens and not enough location shooting, mind you the script...

In my opinion there is nothing to fix, its state of the art for 1993 and in my opinion still looks good today, i was just laughing at the people who say the CGI doesn't work because HD makes it look ropey, point being it didn't look ropey in the cinema where i saw it three times.

Then there will be the Jurassic Park thread where people moan about the CGI in the original and how it doesn't stand up to scrutiny on blu ray, thats despite the fact it worked just fine at the cinema.

I did try to move people onto the animal cruelty debate but it seems people care even less about that subject.

EDIT: Ok my info was a little off, the actual story is below, still quite bad in my book, that horse should have been re-homed or gone to a sanctuary, problems with legs is an excuse and a poor one, as for shock collars, yuck, and this is only the stories we get to hear about, i hope they are...

Well i sure would hope no animal was harmed, unlike many an old Italian/Spanish production or Jesse James which led to the formation of the American Humane Association, that film is 1939 but is still cut in the UK because of animal cruelty. ( Having a horse jump to its death - disgusting if you...

Did you view the screencaps on the calibrated 60inch display or on the computer monitor, i suspect differences will be due to the displays being used and your calibrated display will show the true colours, i think this is why screencaps while useful can also give the wrong impression especially...

Yeah Mr Felson beat him good. :o)

I'm willing to test these discs out, if anyone wants to send them to me. ( hint hint - yah i know i got two chances of that happening, fat chance and zero chance. )

All he says is there is a slight green push, other reviewers say it too, film revisionism in the digital age happens a lot, whether you are concerned about it or not doesn't matter but at least admit it's there, all, some people are more annoyed about it than others, yes they seem to be in the...

No, thats Gollum's line.

The one major issue for me with the theatrical cut of The Return Of The King is the omission of what happens to Saruman, he is after all a major character and why Jackson omitted that from the theatrical i'll never know. The additional scene with the ghosts and the ships was probably added...

I agree Fellowship should have won but Mystic River is a better film than Return Of The King and it should have won the Oscar for Eastwood, King was a very entertaining film and deserved technical awards, it did not deserve the main Oscars though, just my opinion. Mystic River was a very...

He bought some lingerie and high heel shoes from my website several years ago, then dissed me at bluray.com for taking screencaps for my site, then when i try and sign up to bluray.com i mysteriously get banned within twenty minutes of sign up, the reason given was that i am FoxyMulder from AVS...

I think the law says people can use material without permission if used in reviews or for the purpose of critical analysis, i have the site saved where i found this info just in case a studio ever tries to stop me using screencaps on my site which is based in the USA on USA servers. I...
