    Who does this (with their 2 dvd disc sets)

    I may be the only one, but just out of curiosity, who switches the dvds when they buy the movie? It seems that every movie that comes out has the main movie in the page insert and the bonus disc in the main hub. I don't why, but I switch them everytime. Yes, I know. It's a very stupid topic, but...

    DVD bubbles in the center hub of the disc

    What exactly is the severity or meaning of having one of these in the middle of the DVD disc? I usually have them replaced once I see it, however, I have some that never were replaced. Some will have tiny bubbles around the hub (almost like seeing a bottle of hair gel) and others look like a...

    Laserdisc........new to the format

    I just purchase a new LD Player (Pioneer CLD-5000, I think). I was at a community sale that gets rid of items from the government facilities. The LD player was only $10 and I've always wanted one out of curiosity. They actually had about 10 LD players there, but mine was the only one that was a...

    Widescreen TVs- I can't win

    For 6 years, I have had a 32" TV that has never given me problems. It's OK when watching DVDs, but of course, like everyone, I dream of that bigger screen size. I have a $1000 for expenses on new tv. Buying a 30" WS TV would be stupid for me since that's really no different than a 32" standard...

    American Tail DVD series @ $6.99 each

    Most stores are selling these DVDs for $9.99 each. I found a store (K-Mart) that had labels on the movies which was a $3 off coupon. I think the employee messed up and gave $3 off each DVD when it was supposed to be off every 2 in the series. I am not sure if the first 2 movies (which were in...

    The Ongoing Wal-Mart $4.88/$5.50/$5.88 Bargain Bin Thread

    Titan: AE is $5.99 at Wal-Mart. I have been waiting to get this movie. I've never seen it before, and it's a pretty decent sci-fi animated movie. It's widescreen and contains a dts soundtrack.

    Wal-Mart....A new trend...but not a good one

    I know some people have mentioned in the past that Wal-Mart has the Fullscreen version of the DVD only. Usually my Wal-Mart Stores (the four in my area) give you the option of either of WS or FS which is OK. But, as soon as that title gets marked down (or "Roll Back" in Wal-Mart terms), the WS...

    Why are old movies more difficult to release on DVD?

    Movies have been released on VHS without too many problems, but for some reason- DVD is like a miracle at times. They are both video formats...what gives? Is it the extra features? Is it because it is different format? or is just treated as a completely different situation than releasing it on...

    "Catch Me if You Can" Short Review

    I was able to get this accidently early from a store and of course, I will not reveal the store's name. Anyway, I watched the disc last night. The Menu has a very nice layout following the artwork that we see in the introduction of the movie. It comes complete with the DD5.1 and dts tracks...

    Frasier and Cheers on DVD

    Probably 2 of the best "live action" comedy series to ever hit television: Cheers(1982-1993) and Frasier(1993-?). You have to admire the Frasier Series on so many levels. 1.)It's a spin-off that has successfully remained on television for about as long as it's predessessor did and it's very rare...

    DVD and Movies take money away from Blockbuster Video and Others

    I read a very interesting article about how DVD and the movies effected Blockbuster Video in 2002. They claimed that Blockbuster lost millions last year while DVD and the Box Office Movies saw a major jump from last year's sales. The video rentals were making excuses for their decrease in sales...

    Santa Clause: SE DVD for *possibly* less than $3.00

    I just purchased the new DVD and the transfer is obviously better than the previous DVD version. The extra features are OK, but nothing to go crazy over. I found the DVD at Target for $14.99. Inside it has a free movie ticket for the Santa Clause 2 (up to a $7.25 value), plus it has a $5.00...

    A Free DVD demo at your local stores

    Nintendo is now distributing a "free" DVD at various stores that can be played on any DVD player. Look for a picture of Metroid on top of a Platinum Gamecube system. The DVD has a menu that allows the viewer to watch about 24 or so of their upcoming or existing video games. It has Metroid Prime...

    Mad About You Season 1 DVD

    I just bought this today in Wal-Mart for about $20. It's a nice little set which includes 22 episodes (about 490 minutes of video to watch). This is one of those shows that was totally different than most, but it worked and lasted for almost 8 years (I think). Anyways, "it's well worth it". It's...

    The Simpsons DVD

    After watching the new Simpsons Season 2, like everyone else, I am asking, "When will we see the next one?" I am not whining, it's just that they are that good. These commentaries are great. In fact, they are more interesting to me than movie commentaries b/c my you get to have a break with each...

    Disney no longer providing the dts option?

    Other than Universal, Disney was one of the bigest dts supporters last year (they even provided it on their direct to DVD movies). I have noticed that dts has been missing on their more recent titles and even major titles such as Monsters Inc. does not have it listed.

    Would studios rather release "one format" on DVD?

    I guess what I am getting at is this: Does it cost more money for the studios to release 2 different screen formats of a DVD movie simultaneously (like Jurassic Park 3, The Grinch)? I hope that WS for DVD does not get treated like it did with VHS (you know, they only released the BIG blockbuster...

    Microsoft(X-Box) wants SEARS to quit selling Nintendo Products altogether

    I was talking to a salesperson at SEARS who seemed to know what he was talking about He said that proposed a deal that SEARS accepted. The deal was that SEARS could no longer sell Nintendo video game systems or games (Gamecube, N64). Are they more afraid of Nintendo than Sony? It seems like...

    S-Video converter question...please answer :^))

    I am doing video editing with my computer and I have come across an obstacle: I only have a HiFi VCR with component out. Now, I can use component out. But here is what I was wondering. You know how a copy will degrade or look worse after every copy. Will a "composite to S-Video" converter...

    The JVC VX-S62 DVD player

    What does everyone think of this player? I got one for $169 at SEARS (it was the last one they had; it was a floor model). The player looks nice and it's quiet. Owning a ProScan though, I'm not too impressed with the layer changes. This player is probably one of the better players in handling...

    DVD player Recommendations Needed

    I had a ProScan player that had problems and I took it to Circuit City for repair. That claimed it was nonrepairable and gave me store credit for a new player. I definitely don't regret buying the "3 year extended Warranty" now! Anyways, I was looking at all there players such as Sony, Hitachi...
