    Thanks for the interesting report, man, especially the Dolby TrueHD part ;)

    dvd pacific ?

    Kingfish, I do not wish to cancel my orders because they are not charging cc before the actual shipping, and on some other forum I've read the message that indeed they have transferred their business to their biggest DVD supplier Alliance, although Allience itself seems to be ceasing...

    dvd pacific ?

    I personally wondered the same thing, that they are closing doors really, cause the message is already way more than for 48 hours and they have just partially filled and sent my order, while the remaining titles remains unsent. If they are closing doors forever - it will be a big loss for the...

    Ponyo on Blu-ray (Specs questions, both JP and US releases)

    When I first read the title of this thread, I've read it as "PoRno on Blu-Ray"... Guess I am not alone, or else I am too corrupted :)

    Scorpion Releasing (new company that offers rare/obscure/campy flicks)

    Hmm, more of them - better, but what about the quality of their transfers/presentation?

    can anyone help with advice regarding Region 5 releases of Hollywood movies prior to Region 1 releas

    Johnny, you are welcome, but keep in mind that the quality of Russian releases are usually worse than their R1 and R2 counterparts and there are usually no extras or very little supplements, really :) So I think it is better to wait a little and buy the better quality product than to shop for...

    can anyone help with advice regarding Region 5 releases of Hollywood movies prior to Region 1 releas

    Most of R5 discs are Russian, I suppose, and yes, most of the titles which are released before R1 are pirated stuff, although there are some legit releases as well, which our distributors dump to official DVDs early in hope to beat pirates. Two of the biggest online stores in Russia for books...

    Changes to Independent Film Distribution Benefit Home Theater Owners

    Yea, right - everybody rush to their computers to order PPV compressed videos from some "new independent distribution" sites... Sure - it is the future, like the physical media is dead within a couple of years and everybody just downloading digital crap off the Internet - yeap, you are right...

    Another great e-tailer closes shop (European): Benson's World

    Got this letter today as well - and was really sad about their decision, although can understand it. So - as I've exclusively was ordering only from them from UK - can anybody recommend me another UK e-tailer with good prices and cheap international shipping? BlackStar, Amazon.Uk?

    I Need A New DVD Supplier

    For international customers DVDPacific is the best, for the American ones - dunno, but they are ones of the best anyway :)

    Sony CEO sees ‘stalemate’ in disc fight

    Sanja, some of your points are valid and understandable to me, but most are not, at least for me. And, btw, if your Windows crash - blame it on the bad/overclocked hardware and not the OS itself, as my Win XP Pro SP 2 has never crashed on me running on quality hardware (mostly ASUS) in its...

    Sony CEO sees ‘stalemate’ in disc fight

    Guys, I don't want to start a flame war here and being offtopic, but since basically last two pages people are discussing PS3 and xBox 360 here praising the gaming experience, and Call of Duty 4 especially - I have a question - why you won't play it on the good PC then? :) I am sure that on my...

    DOA: Dead or Alive (Weinstein Co.) - DVD & HD-DVD or Theatrical release in December?

    Dunno about States, but here, in Moscow, Russia - it is already in theaters with a wide release. Trailer for it looks like shit, though, and especially annoying is that flat-faced girl, Devon Aoki. Just one look at her gives me desire to puke, (and to see her for 90 minutes is overkill) but...

    Shifting artefacts - explanations?

    Hi, people I was wondering - can anyone explain to me why are there "shifting artifacts" on some discs - usually they are in the scenes when camera is slightly changes position - and part or some parts of the picture is shifting. Sometimes it is terribly annoying. The recent example of where...
