i finally got around to watching THE SHIELD season 4 on dvd, and tonight I came across something very strange on disc 3. the entire 3rd episode on the disc (the exnteded episode), and the "Previously on the Shield" segment on that segment were presented in 16:9. And they looked great. i got...

after three years with no problems, this morning i went to turn on my rca F38310 hdtv....the green power light turned on but NOTHING happened. i've unplugged it a few times, left alone, came back and tried again with no luck. it's no longer under warranty, and this thing is a TANK so even...

i was just wondering why they would bother taking up additional disc space with a DD 2.0 track on a DTS dvd? this DTS disc was only $9 new at best buy, but i have to say so far i would say it's not worth much more than that because the video quality is seriously lacking. plus, it's the first...

i recently found out my dvd player can handle dvd's of all regions....i have never been an ethusiast of multiregion dvd shopping (and don't know where the hidden gems are, as far as dvd's not available in the US) - are there any good forums/sites dedicated to multiregion dvd discussions? thanks

call me a sicko but i really love the film AUDITION. problem is, on a widescreen set it's impossible to scale the nonanamorphic disc properly because the subtitles are in the black bars. does any region offer the uncut version of the movie in 16:9? thanks

i recently traded in my Starship Troopers SE for the superbit version...and my impressions fly in the face of all the glowing reviews of the superbit. on my projector, this disc looked a little bit washed out. none of my other superbits look like this, and i don't think my previous Starship...

can anyone help me make a quick decision? it's been so long since i've been in the market for a dvd player that I'm overwhelmed by the new offerings.... i've been using a Panny RP91 for a few years on my 16:9 tube and have been pretty happy with it. I needed that particular model for...

i got hooked on this a few months ago (not knowing the show was coming to an end this season!) i think it's a great, offbeat comedy (which only sputtered out at the very end, with 2 very disappointing final episodes). Does anyone know if these are planned for dvd? the HD broadcasts on...

judging by the DVDFILE.com review, there's nothing wrong with my discs or my player - THE FAMILY GUY boxed set part 1 looks VERY strange. Jaggies EVERYWHERE when there is any movement onscreen. I was wondering - did they fix this problem with the season 3 box? thanks

anyone experienced lockups/breakups early on with the Howling SE dvd??? this is the second MGM disc i've had problems with tonight (see my La Femme Nikita SE thread), but this seems more like a hardware/software issue (i have a panasonic rp91) than a questionable transfer issue. but i think...

tonight i finally got around to watching the Special Edition dvd of La Femme Nikita. the THIRD version of this dvd i've owned. everything started out nice enough. the oppressive grain from the 2nd release (the first mgm release) was gone.... but soon this DVD started looking alot like the...

first off, the gun works great with House of the Dead 3. problem is, if you unlock House of the Dead 2 (the main reason i got this game!) - the gun does not work at ALL. what gives?

I don't know....i'm more than halfway through season 2 now, and my wife and i both agree (she's not usually picky about picture quality) than Season 2 of 24 is seriously lacking picture-wise when compared to the VERY sharp and highly detailed dvd's of season 1. it's almost like the season 2...

first off, the box is wrong, right? it's not really 5.1 DD, but 5.0??? also, i have never seen this film before. There's not supposed to be ANY dialogue, right? i seem to remember some...this DD track sounds like an isolated score almost, with chracaters flapping their lips occasionally with...

now i don't want to get into a debate on the new color timing contoversy. this question relates only to the black level on the disc. I noticed that the black level throughout the movie - including the black bars (on the 16:9 2.35:1 image) seemed awfully bright. Scenes that should have been...

I was wondering if the new BOND boxed sets coming from MGM in Novemeber are completely new discs with new features/transfers or not. besides the discs that needed errors fixed (OHMSS, Licence to Kill, etc) - most of these discs have really good transfers and features. only Goldeneye needs...

i've been eagerly awaiting the arrival of season 2 on dvd since finishing season 1 - so imagine my surprise when i walked into Best Buy yesterday and found free copies of the first two episodes, with a mail in coupon on the back for the boxed set. now for even better news - both episodes ar...

and i don't know where to start!! XM or Sirius?? I hear XM has better customer service but a quick look at the Sirius lineup makes me think i might like their programming more... Are they the same when it comes to sound quality? Also, i'd like to get a portable uni for use in my car and...

ihave yet to find a good group of people to play this game with so i haven't really been having fun with the title yet. anyone here interested in a game later, like 12am midnight ET????

reports from E3 had MadCatz "updating" the xbox Blaster to include HDTV support. Anyone know if this has happened yet?

i stopped buying the Short Cinema Journal dvd's after their 5.1 audio started being mastered wrong (with the mains and rears reversed). Have they fixed this yet?

last night i tried going through all of my dvd's and correcting misflagged discs. The Big Lebowski is causing me some problems... first off, the menu screen load up in "zoom" no matter how i re-set it. as long as i don't eject the disc, if i go back to the menus it's fine once i re-set the...

just picked these up from a Guitar Center for $39 (needed some headphones asap for a new digital effects guitar processor) and now i'm thinking i got ripped. it's obviously not a current AKG product (nowhere on their webpage) but i also can't find ANY reviews of them online. anyone know if...

any chance we'll see a marathon of 24's season 2 on FX? do you think they'll wait until right before season 3? i just recently finished the season 1 dvd's and CANNOT WAIT to see season 2!

Thrustmaster sells an xbox lightgun called the BERETTA that is compatible with 100HZ european HD sets. One site said that it was also NTSC compatible....does anyone know if this gun would work with HDTV's in the US?? thanks

my socom headset seems to be about to die (sound is very soft, earpiece has to be in exactly right position for things to sound clear).... anyone know the easiest way to replace it?

finally got around to watching this dvd last night - yuck!! what a murky, dark, disappointing transfer!! looks like an old non-anamorphic laserdisc at best, and the colors seem way off. anyone know if a new SE is in the works, or what exactly the problem is with this transfer?? -sean

I hadn't popped this dvd in my player in a LONG time, and this was the first time i'd seen it on my 16x9...and i was quite disappointed. The Tommy Boy transfer looked rather dark and sometimes poorly compressed, and very soft. then i realized it reminded me of a lot of Paramount's catalog...

i've been revisiting old dvd's on my new tv/progressive scan setup - and mostly older dvd's have been holding up surprisingly well (although i've noticed that the level of fine detail is usually MUCH better these days)... but man oh man, i was SO disappointed with how the Blade Runner dvd...

i was watching the original Lord of the Rings dvd last night and was wondering if the newer extended cut PQ is any better. Even though it's a longer movie, splitting up the film on 2 discs hopefully helped the compression (which i notice on the old dvd). It was a great transfer i just think it...
