    Article: Why DVDs and Blu-rays remain essential in the age of streaming

    As a big fan of Blu ray and 3D, I can only say that you expressed my attitude exactly. I really hate it when somebody gives me something I like, I get hooked on it, and then it dies on the vine or gets taken away. Gee, thanks a lot!

    3D Top 30 Must Own 3D Blu-Ray Releases

    Love my trusty Optoma projector (HD25-LV) too. I've got over 150 3D Blu rays and have watched all but one! (ZOOTOPIA is the one holdout, since I just picked it up a short time ago. Watched it in 2D because some friends preferred it that way, but I'll watch it in 3D on my own very soon!)

    3D Another Indication that 3D Blu-ray is doomed in the United States

    The 73" Mitsubishi DLP was my gateway into 3D around the same time. I loved it; the image was bright and ghost-free. Hope you love it too. Welcome aboard! PS -- I've still got that set, but I mostly do 3D on my Optoma projector nowadays because of the bigger screen. I'm up to 130+ 3D Blu...

    3D An Advance Look at "3-D Rarities" from the 3-D Film Archive and Flicker Alley

    Just now ordered mine! (It will be my 122nd 3D Blu ray.) Bob, keep up the fantastic work!

    3D How many 3D titles do you own that you have not seen?

    I have 118 3D Blu rays and I've watched every one of them. Picked up #118 yesterday (X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST) for ten bucks yesterday afternoon and watched it last night. The only absolute I have about my video collection is that I watch every 3D Blu ray I get. I've seen many of them...

    Your new BD titles requests from Twilight Time

    THE DEAD ZONE, WITNESS, and ORDINARY PEOPLE. The DVD of the last one looks pretty ragged for a Best Picture.

    3D Meet Bob Furmanek: HTF Golden Age 3-D Consultant

    I'm hoping that it's the original INVADERS FROM MARS. (Just kidding!)

    3D Top 30 Must Own 3D Blu-Ray Releases

    I've got to disagree with you on this one, Reed. (There's always a first time!) I agree about the movie (watched it in 3D twice this week, once before reading your post and the other afterwards). I loved it, found it visually dazzling, and thought it had more charm and heart than the two...

    3D TriDef - For Those That Want More 3D

    Sorry to hear that you are having problems. I've read elsewhere that Windows 8.1 doesn't work too well with 3D software. My setup uses Windows 7. I forgot to mention that Cyberlink does 2D-to-3D conversion on Blu-rays as well as DVDs.

    3D TriDef - For Those That Want More 3D

    I prefer Cyberlink because (at least on my HTPC) it proved to be more stable than Tridef and also produced better 3D. At a certain point I gave up on Tridef because every time I updated to the latest Nvidia driver it would stop working. I can't say that Cyberlink was all that easy to get...

    3D TriDef - For Those That Want More 3D

    I used Tridef for years, first with my HTPC and then later when it was included as the 2D-to-3D converter in my Samsung BD6700 Blu-ray player. (It converted Blu-rays as well as DVDs via the Blu-ray player.) I also thought that the conversion was good, but I eventually went with Cyberlink...

    3D Captain America: The Winter Soldier 3D - $19.96!

    After downloading and installing the Target Ticket software and then downloading the extra feature, I'm getting a "license for this title not available, please try again later" message. The hell with it.

    3D Top 30 Must Own 3D Blu-Ray Releases

    I've said it too many times before, but I'm in complete agreement. I think I got burned out watching Sammy so many times until these two came along. I agree that these are the top three. On a side note: I have downloaded about two dozen Youtube 3D 1080P full-SBS videos, transferred them to a...

    3D Top 30 Must Own 3D Blu-Ray Releases

    As I think I've mentioned before, Madagascar 3 and Rise of the Guardians are also my two favorite 3D demo discs (out of the 100 3D Blus I own, and I have watched every one). M3 has more pop-outs and is hilarious, while the overall rich and sumptuous look of Rise of the Guardians is simply...
