Thanks so much!

Hi guys Long time break from HTF (I barely have time for movies, let alone forums about movies unfortunately!). Does anyone have a contact email (generic is fine, I'm not asking for anyone's personal contacts!) to arrange for a replacement item through Sony USA? Much appreciated - I've tried...

No trailers? Fail. No viral videos? Fail. Sure, two of the viral videos are on the BD-Live, but it's not like there isn't room for them. Worse yet (imho) is the UK disc (also released in AUS) was announced as having the four viral videos. It doesn't. It has one. At least announce the damn disc...

HD Wonderland: Can I ask what disc you are referring to? Let us know what movie you're watching, which version you have (region 1, USA, etc) and it could give us something more helpful to work with. Also, with your setup, can you tell us the make/model of your TV and amplifier?

I'm going to take a punt here, and assume that the error is something to do with the centre channel, and that the only reason you've noticed it on animated films might be by sheer chance that those are the only ones you're listening to in 5.1. And that is a random guess.

Hello, I've just received a copy of the Criterion Tap from eBay. Just wanted to confirm a couple of details that I was unsure about. Basically, the slick, case, and booklet appear to be legit, in so much as they match the quality. The disc's info rings (on either side) read: "SIDE 1...

I just picked up this disc today (well, actually, my post-sound gal picked it up as her local store had it, and mine was still waiting to receive theirs!). it's delightful. the grain. the matte boxes on the dogs. the occasional dodgy effect. i recently rewatched the dvd. i loved it. I...

Van, It might have been German, but I'm not sure. I'll check it again when I get some time this week and let you know. The intro to the text/board deleted scenes are foreign, then the actual script excerpt is English. Weird really... As for the region coding, the other option is that it might...

Van, Thank you for taking the time to respond to my questions. I just have a couple of follow ups. Do you know who I should contact in regards to the Studio Canal disc's BD-Live not all being in English (I have to assume it's a server-side issue, rather than player settings on my end, as my...

Nicholas, I haven't seen the "Media Manager" option in the TDK BD-live menu. Can you more specifically describe where it is/how to use it? EDIT: I just reloaded the disc, and it's now there!

btw, if anyone's still uppity about Casablanca, just order it from Australia. Warners have released it, disc only, regular case, and (as is my previous experience with Aus Warner blu-rays) it's actually just the US disc (with the relevant MPAA rating on it around the edge of the disc).

Van, Just bought the Australian release of the Skynet Edition BD, and running it on my PS3, my gripes aren't with load time or anything, other than the damn unskippable Studio Canal logo! You get it upon loading, then again when starting the film (although as a separate title on the disc). A...

Well, that's a shame. I just bought the Warner BD (Australia), and while spec-wise it seems to be up to par with the Criterion version, and on first-glance the extras appear to be the same, it's missing the timeline feature. The HTF review makes it sound rather interesting, can anyone elaborate...

Further, I found this over on Icons Of Fright, it's a message from the US distribution co. to the CA co. "Yes the bloggers are having a field day on this one. Normally they like to pick on the English Dub tracks, but in this case it’s the subtitles. Obviously online tend to get rowdy and...

Well, this one may go back to Amazon unopened. Unfortunately, I ordered it, then immediately came across the info (it had been in my basket since before release). By the time I tried to cancel it's order, it had entered shipping. I'm appalled by Magnet's decision to not offer an exchange...
