At Play in the Fields of the Lord Frank

I enjoy a good movie just about as much in upscaled 480P (via all digital computer player) as I do in HDTV. I never saw U571 at the theater and saw it for the first time via DVD. I purchased the HDTV DTheater DVHS version and while the image quality was vastly superior, I didn't enjoy it...

I suspect that in 10 years you will be able to buy a device that will play a current DVD and make it look better then HDTV does currently. A sophisticated enough device could play a DVD and analyse many frames prior to displaying them. Examining many frames might enable it to create a much...

Great movie and all too accurate. The quality of the new DVD is exceptional. The best book I've read about the event is: "Deep Politics and the death of JFK" by Peter Dale Scott. Frank

The image produced by a single chip DLP with color wheel requires a lot of visual integration to be performed by the human eye and brain. Numerous people have reported eye strain and headaches from watching single chip DLP images. I wonder how seriously TI takes this? Frank

This movie was first broadcast on HBO over two years ago which is before they started showing Panavision movies in HBO CROPOVISION. Frank

The new HDTV DVD standard must support full HDTV resolution over current analog connections or no sale.

These new D-VHS movies use a type of copy protection know as D-THEATER. For all I know, the main feature of D-THEATER is that it slowly demagnitizes the tape so that it will cease to play after a certain number of times. The MPAA might have demanded this 'feature' for all I know. Since the...

I was just at Best Buy and started to pick this movie up and while looking at the cover I noticed that no where did it say if it was widescreen or not. I asked the clerk to check it on the computer and it didn't say either. Is it widescreen or not?

I loved the original series when it first aired back in the 60s and I never missed an episode. I seem to remember that in virtually every episode there was at least one actor wearing a latex mask of some kind. The masks made me chuckle but the writing and acting were top notch. The newer...

Virtually every DVD I've ever seen. That's one reason I primarily watch HDTV now. Frank

I have a Isco anamorphic lens that I have used with a JVC D-ILA projector. I found that I like the image much better without it. In theory it should improve the image but it doesn't. Without the lens, the image is extremely sharp from corner to corner. With the lens, the focus varies...

I spoke with a lady in Vancouver who was involved with the production of the new series and she told me they were planning on releasing it on DVD at some point. Consider it hearsay. I would pay to see every episode on DVD of both the original and new series. They were both wonderful...

If you loved the idea of DIVX from Circuit City and the Hollywood lawyers then by all means make sure your next HDTV set has a HDCP DVI interface. The more rapidly the suckers buy into this anti consumer sceme, the more rapidly the Hollywood people can switch you over to their 100 percent pay...

As far as I'm concerned, DVDs are already obsolete. I rarely ever watch DVDs anymore. THe picture quality just isn't good enough. There is more then enough HDTV on per week to keep me happy.

Contact (Movie, commentaries, picture quality) L.A Confidential (Movie, special features) Godfather (what else can I say?)

The following is true: I haven't watched anything but high definition television for the last several weeks. I finally got around to watching 'Heart in Atlantis' and couldn't believe how poor the image quality was. (I did enjoy the story though) Just for the heck of it, I put on my Superbit...

I'm watching it right now in the correct aspect ratio of 2.39:1 with a great sounding DD5.1 soundtrack and the picture quality is much better then the best superbit DVD.

It's interesting that we are able to see this movie in the proper aspect ratio with an incredible picture and sound for free and will have to pay to see an inferior picture in the future on DVD. :)

The Gladiator pictures were originally taken by me off a 21" computer monitor. All I was trying to show with those images was the different aspect ratios. The quality is not indicative of anything.

Doing a Google search on "aperture correction" ringing telecine......returns some interesting information including this. Very interesting.

The most important thing about these DVHS tapes is will they work at full resolution with existing analog displays? Those that know aren't telling?

The target market for this is probably people like myself. I bought two DVHS HDTV recorders over two years ago and have been time shifting and archiving HDTV all that time. It was well worth the money to me. Image quality is paramount to me, that's why I started collecting DVDs back in...

After watching HDTV movies for well over two years I have found that there is a tremendous variation in image quality. It seem that quite a number of cinematographers use soft focus techniques. In many cases, I find that the DVD looks just about as good as the HDTV version. I have never seen...

Hey David; Are you a stockholder in this company? :) I recommended it once and someone bought it on my recommendation. He has since lost virtually his entire investment. This company may not make it at all.
