Keep in mind that movies aren't in a standard aspect ratio, even in the theatre. Haven't you ever been at the theatre noticed the matting (border) being moved with motors between the trailers and the start of the movie? It caught me off guard the first time I saw that.

Not really. You put a DVD in, and the laser turns on to read it. It just turns the other one on instead. In fact, if you think about it, a dual format device like that could last even longer due to the read duty being split between two lasers when different formats are viewed. I've had my...

Great thread! Thanks so much for posting your progress with pics. It looks fabulous! My wife and I just bought our first house. Unfortunately, there's no dedicated space for something like this. I've always wanted a home theatre room...maybe in the next house. So I'll just have to be happy...

I'm interested in this too. I just picked up a 50" Plasma this weekend for the new house. I'm pretty sure I want to wall mount it for stability and safety. My wife is talking about getting a unit like you described - a hutch for below the TV to hold the components and tall vertical pieces on...

Just out of curiousity...has anybody ever heard of any kind of wireless solution to get from the receiver to the FP mounted on the ceiling? Looking at pricing for a good sized room it'd be like $4000 in component cables (ok, maybe not that much but might as well be. How about using some...

Mine just fell off...there was no rubber cement, glue, or otherwise. Lucky I guess.

Did a quick search and didn't see anything on this, which surprises me since you guys are usually all over announcements. ;) From The Bits:

Thanks for the links Dan, I just ordered a copy. Kind of related, but not really: I've done some of my own DVD production at home. I've got a digital camcorder and a DVD burner in my computer. The first project I decided to attempt was to take the 5 digital tapes of my own wedding (that...

LOL Adam! Great quote. Yes Dennis...if you didn't pick up on it, he was the chain gun wielding badass in Predator. "I ain't got time to bleed."

Best Buy in Clackamas, Oregon has piles of them...
