    DVDprofiler.com down?

    WRT Cover images, I have several scanns I have done myself, mostly these don't match the submission guidelines. (i.e. sometime I just want 300 DPI not 120 or lower) so I don't want to contribute, or sometimes I like my scanns better, than the submitted ones. Long story short. Is there a way...

    DVDprofiler.com down?

    I must say, this approach has been far more satisfying that the all-or-nothing approach I was expecting. I was able to get titles out of my add-queue, and I was able to update my profiles. Seems as though imagry and contributions are still down though. Getting something processed is so much...

    DVDprofiler.com down?

    The news is as if a weight has been lifted. (which I guess makes me guilty of the "need a life" charges levied by others in this thread. speaking of guilty didja hear about Martha Stewart? -- its a good thing. I must admit, I started using DVDProfile because it seemed to be the bandwagon. I...

    DVDprofiler.com down?

    Ken, That was over 4 days ago... I'm sorry to post on the negative side of the issue here, but it's time to throw us a bone. At this point the webpage is outright dishonest. We are adults capable of understanding, and if it is a screw-up involved, we are capable of forgiving. If you tell us...

    Annual "DVDs we got for Christmas" list

    My wife is gonna get Seabiscuit. :D I'm kinda hoping for the "universal present" that is greenbacks. Most of what I want at this point is on the pre-order lists. I just feel sorry for this poor guy

    The omnibus UNIVERSAL forced trailer complaint thread

    Seems Bruce Almighty has forced trailers on the front. There's nothing like BV's "hit the menu button" screen first, and while the trailers are playing, chapter skip is locked, menu is locked. Essentially all I can do is Fast forward. Is this another Universal screw-up or is there something me...

    replay or tivo with no phone line

    Replay just requires either Ethernet or phoneline. If the Ethernet is online it will never even try the modem.

    ReplayTV & Progressive Output

    Comparing a DirecTiVo to either a Replay or a Standalone Tivo isn't exactly fair. The data coming from the dish is compressed (MPEG-2 I believe, but may be wrong) a DirecTiVo simply saves the stream. Therefore plaing back should be identical to ehat was seen live. (assuming the same path from...

    Special Replay TV Offer

    Bowing down to advertisers is a bad idea. Lyndon, I meant to say in my previous post that I believe it is a very good thing when people like yourself come to the forum to represent their companies. Thank you.

    Oh Well, I was hoping to get a new instead of a scratch-and-dent, but it's cool. Any idea what the backlog is for shipping? Joe

    Special Replay TV Offer

    Just ordered. Missed the $280 though:angry: Still, it's under $350 including shipping so I'm pretty happy.:) Todd, The web site says, shipping is between May 30th - June 13th, so the wait should be almost over... I'm assuming this means it shipps on June 13th, so anything sooner will make...

    Archiving To PC

    In my reading about Replay and TiVo I understand both can archive to a PC, but neither website acknowledges this. I understand that archiving is easier on the Replay than on the TiVo, but Replay's 4500 FAQ flat-out says thay can't do it at all. Is this a 5000 only feature? the pages for the...

    This annoying "no insert" trend -- A RANT

    I like having the Chapter stops, but hate the pile-o-crap collection of ads (esp Disney) that gets put in disk cases. I'll tell you, if they're ditching the "Collectable booklets" to make room for AOL CD's, I'll go postal!!!

    Embarrasing DVD collections.

    Honestly, I don't see the debate at all. A fair number of my collection were blind purchases, Some were purchased by my wife and others still were gifts for which I provided no input. Many movies I thought I would like and now think stink. Others I thought would stink, but honestly did "grow...

    What do we do about companies using 2 x DVD5 when 1 x DVD9 would do?

    Right now my car's CD player has all home-burned copies of my CD's, Same thing at work. I once had a dozen or so disks stolen from my car, and didn't really care. Having my traveling disks be "replacable" is really nice. Well, portable DVD players are getting cheaper, as are DVD burners. I...

    DTS ever worse than DD?

    DTS has more potential than DD. It is up to the source material, and the person(s) doing the encoding to determine if the eventual release lives up to the potential.

    The time for rental windows is near

    Soooo many people used the VHS rental-window to pirate VHS movies. I gotta admit I did that once or twice. With the availability of DVD burners, and DVD "Backup" software. The studios will have to realize that rental windows are also good for pirates. During the rental window the economics of...

    You must be a Jackass to like Pan & Scan

    Kazaa sues movie and music industries

    Ryan, perfect example about the hard drive; so long as you don't share your archive there should be no problem, Right? However that copy-protection scheme out there prevents disks from playing on PC's. So now, not only are they attempting to prevent you from archiving the songs on your...

    Military Legal Advice (serious question)

    I don't think justice would have been served with his brig time. That would have punished his whole family. I'm glad that they decided to not make a bad situation worse. It is so rare to hear a mistake admitted. Good luck to him...

    Kazaa sues movie and music industries

    What I fail to understand is how in one court they can be convicted of pricefixing, while in the next they're hammering about copyright protections. Either they want laws or they don't. I feel music piracy in particular is a case of two wrongs not making a right; but no one in the DRM camps...
