Just bought this title on Amazon's buy 1 get 1 free deal and I had the same problem. Only workaround I've found is to use the 'Go To' function and select Title 5 or 6 (trailer and doc) and hit the Audio button to bring up the commentary.

I found this today: http://www.deepdiscountdvd.com/dvd.cfm?itemID=SON056779 It looks like it's in stock but has the original cover. Is this the same thing as the one that will be released on Nov. 7th?

Doh! Got this from the local library and was playing it without sound. Didn't know it was audio only. Thanks.

Can someone verify that the final extra on disc 2 (Academy Awards segment) plays? I select this and nothing happens. The other 2 selections play fine.

Agreed! However, if I send my Samsung a 720p signal, I can choose the 'Expand' setting which gives what I believe is called 1:1 pixel mapping (might have the term wrong). For me, it means overscan is reduced almost to zero. Also, it's so obviously poo-poo when you're watching HD-DVD at 720p that...

This is certainly true with HD-DVD titles, but not so of SD-DVD upconverted discs. I notice no difference in upconverted quality with either 720p or 1080i on my Samsung HLP-5085. Calibrations with Avia are the same at either output. I have been trying to get people to do a little A/B comparison...

Yes, there was. See here and scroll down: http://www.tvparty.com/sat78.html

Guys, I have an audio sync question. On disc 1 starting around chapter 11 the video is ahead of the audio by 10-15 sec. (Rose hits a line drive to Evans) It lasts for 3 chapters and things seem to go back to normal at chapter 14. Could someone please check this on their copy? This is the only...

I believe that everything on Disc 1 of the Image set is on the 35th Anniversary set. Only Disc 2 of the Image set contains the extras not included elsewhere.

Hopefully this hasn't been stated before, but I found an Easter Egg on the Conquest disc. Go to Special Features, then to Main, then hit up and an ape head will be highlighted. Not very long, but nice to find. My apologies if this is old news.

I did the Radio Shack 4" cooling fan(kind of heavy compared to pc fans)and their generic power cord (120v?). You can also rip up any extension cord and connect it to the fan. I just twisted the wires together and used plenty of electrical tape. Tested it on a power strip with a breaker first so...

OK, after pulling my hair out and reading an endless thread over at AVS forum, I got an answer to my question. You must choose either 2 Large or 2 Small for surround back speaker setup in order to get all of the processing options on both THX and Standard. If you choose only 1 back speaker(like...

Fellow 2600 users, I'm trying to do something suggested in another post and am stumped. I'm trying to enable Dpl IIx(Movie) while a 5.1 signal is playing. It looks in the manual that this is possible but nothing I do works except to send the audio as PCM instead of Dolby Digital. Been reading...

I've had the 2600 for about a month now and really like it. Bought it at Ultimate in St. Paul and while more $$ than internet, they gave me 3yr. no interest. Had to take that deal! It does run hot, however, and I might get one of those whisper fans mentioned earlier. Subscibed to XM too and have...

Has anyone heard anything about a release date?
