    UPS Suggestions Please

    Looking for a rack mountable UPS that 1 unit high 6 outlets. Currently running a Cyberpower PR750LCDRM1U. I do like that I can control the shut down schedule thru the Mac Mini Media server but the battery on this has not been stellar and the unit has totally shut down on me for no reason at...

    WMC dead. What's the future of HTPC?

    AppleTV has no iso nor mkv support but it will do HD in an .m4v container. Handbrake metaX to iTunes shared library does wonders for a movie collection. Everything else I got from its apps, HBO, Netflix, Amazon Prime. Did the HTPC long time ago like this set up much better.

    Da 5 Bloods (2020)

    Saw it last night and enjoyed it. In my opinion this is Spike Lee's best work. Long movie yes but well edited and not one to make you look at your watch at all. Love the different use of aspect rations to determine the time period of the film. I did notice something that caught my eye...

    Tagging ATV Media Question

    Is there a way to tag an ATV movie with a widescreen wallpaper image that appears in the background when a movie is selected on the new ATV's? Currently I have the standard poster shape image for the movie and if I add a widescreen image instead of poster shape it appears as a small widescreen...

    Apple TV Home Sharing Limit?

    My understanding is that ATV has a library limit of 2300 movies. What happens when the library exceeds the limit if your home sharing the movies to ATV devices?

    Native BluRay Support!

    What are the odds of blu-ray native on an iMac within the next two years?It just does not seem right that one can edit a nice HD video with Final Cut and then not be able to put it on a blu-ray unless I use some third party drive that may or may not work.

    Apple iPad buyers / Owners thread

    I have been looking for a product like this for a long time. The 64GB minus the 3G is what's on my future radar. Main use will be for having a nice collection of movies when I travel sans DVDs and clunky battery hog portable DVD players! This will fit that bill just perfect. Secondary use...

    Digital Copy only in wmv format?

    Pretty useless feature. I think it will go away.

    Digital Copy only in wmv format?

    I have a bunch of my blu-ray with the extra Digital Copy DVD, but when I entered the code it spit out two version of the same movie, different sizes but both in wmv format. I was hoping I count get something I could put on my itouch or iphone. Is this the only format they give you these digital...

    Outdoor Theater

    You need as bright as you can get, 800 is a bit small. You want a real High Gain on your screen and why bother with 4:3, most PJ's now do 16:9. Did you take your backyard pic yet?

    1080/24 not what I expected.

    I have read a lot of the advantage of 1080/24 and seen this transalate into some beautiful images on blu-ray titles, however when I upscale my standard DVD's to 1080/24 I see flaws. I now upscale my SD-DVD's to 1080/60 and find the image looks much better. On paper it would seem that 1080/24...

    Anyone else clearing out their SD-DVDs?

    I also will get rid of some of my SD titles as they come out and go on sale as a Blu-ray title. I say some, because some of my SD movies actually look pretty good with my blu-ray player doing the upscale, so even if it comes out on Blu-ray why get it right away. A little patience helps a lot. I...

    Blu-ray Review HTF BLU-RAY REVIEW: PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: CURSE OF THE BLACK PEARL

    WoW !!! This is reference Video & Audio. I loved POTC 1, 2 & 3 did not come even close, and I here there is a chance of a spin off forth minus Johhny Depp. I am guessing that will be worst than the third. Has the blu-ray ever been offered as a box set? Like you said this is top notch demo...

    Remote Control For Rope Lights Needed

    I did have one of those, but for some reason that I have not been able to figure out, my X-10 IR to RF converter will all on it's own start transmitting and get stuck in transmit mode. I have gone thru two of these boxes with the same results. The rope lights will come on and stay on while I am...

    Remote Control For Rope Lights Needed

    Programing a Harmony One for my HT, and I just figure out that the rope lights were RF controlled before via X-10 module, and the Harmony One has no RF outputs. What do you guys suggest for me to control my floor rope lights, since an IR on the rope lights will not be line of sight? Thanks

    Blu-ray Review HTF BLU-RAY REVIEW: Gran Torino

    I was disapointed with this Eastwood movie, I thought the story was good, not great but good however the acting was very poor. Clint did a very good role as Walt but the Hmong charecters are vital to the film and their performance to me is what killed it. It sounded to me like they just read...

    DVD Review HTF DVD Review: RELIGULOUS

    I also enjoyed this documentary. Bill Maher did a stand up job on his end, but I thought it was a bit unblanced. Most of the religous fanatics he interviewed were not very smart people. It was almost like some of the shows on television when they ask people on the street questions and they look...

    DVD Review HTF DVD REVIEW: Journey to the Center of the Earth

    Red and Blue glasses? Mine came with Magenta and Green? The 3D effect with these glasses were very poor. Maybe thats the reason, or maybe the type of TV display makes a difference i.e. DLP, Plasma, LCD, ect.

    Roger Ebert reviewing again in 2007 (Passed Away: See Post #158)

    Hope he gets better, and I look forward to reading his reviews. I love his insights and takes of movies. I just hope they don't parade him around T.V. like Dick Clark on New Years day(Have to change the channel). If he is going to look like the condition they showed him on the news I don't think...

    *** Official THE MIST Review Thread

    Finally saw it, 4 out of 10. Acting subpar as expected, nice shooting style, it was the best thing in the movie. The story dragged in the middle, a bit to much time is spent on the sunday lady and the ending... well the ending is where suspension of disbelief is destroyed.

    The ONE and ONLY *OFFICIAL* STAR WARS (Original Trilogy) DVD REVIEW THREAD!

    O.K. How limited is this Original Trilogy actually going to be? What are the odds of this being re-released in anamorphic shortly after the sales of this units have run its course? I think the tin can version makes it a nice collectable, but thats asumming it actually becomes a prized...

    software to catalog your dvd collection: Which one do you use?

    I agree with Kain on this as well, dvd-aficionado is just to cumbersome. DVD-Profiler is hard to beat. I prefer to use and view the data base of users on DVD Profiler. Ozzie
