    Terminator 3 on May 25th, 2009 in U.K. on Blu-ray from Sony!!!

    Is this disc region free? I've read that most of Sony's discs are, but I wanted to be sure before placing an order.

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ Air Force One -- in Blu-ray

    I just finished watching this and the subtitle problem is worse than reported. Due to some kind of error the "forced" English/Russian subtitles do not work unless the English subtitles are engaged. So it's all or nothing. This should be recalled or at the very least replaced.

    Star Trek films on Blu-Ray... what we know so far

    Well, I figured out what happened. The wonderful people at Target put all the standard dvd's in the blu-ray sales slot, because they didn't have any blu-rays in stock. Very thoughtful of them.

    Star Trek films on Blu-Ray... what we know so far

    I bought the trilogy today and everything I've read indicated that these movies had TrueHD tracks, but all I'm able to find is the standard DD 5.1 EX track on Star Trek 2. The disc defaults to Dolby digital and there's nothing in the menu indicating a high res audio track. Does the trilogy...

    Almost Famous extended edition Blu-ray

    This is probably a stupid question, but is region coding an issue with blu-ray movies - will it play in my sony bdp-s1? Also is there any playback issues because of pal/ntsc, or is that a non-factor with high definition?

    Warner does Dolby TrueHD on Blu-ray!!! (FINALLY)

    Are there any other differences associated with dialogue normalization being used on TrueHD tracks other than lower sound levels? Just curious, because when comparing the differences between the TrueHD and Dolby Digital Plus (on films like Batman Begins, Superman Returns, Posiedon) the bass on...

    Poseidon HD-DVD hits the market with Dolby TrueHD

    That was one of the first things I did when I set up the player, but just to be sure I went in to the menu and turned the dialog enhancement on, then back off. For some reason that I can't explain this seemed to fix the problem. A definite improvement!

    Poseidon HD-DVD hits the market with Dolby TrueHD

    I just watched this the other night in Dobly TrueHD on the new Toshiba HD-A2 and it sounded great, but for some reason I found the bass to be lacking when comparing it to the regular Dolby Digital Plus track. Anyone else have this problem? Strangely I have experienced this problem with the Dolby...

    HD-A1 and HDMI audio question

    I'm using a Yamaha RXV-4600 HDMI receiver with the Toshiba HD-A1. I'd like to use the HDMI output to take advantage of the new audio codecs (Dolby Tru and Dolby Digital Plus) rather than the 6 channel analogue outputs. My question is - if I use the HDMI connection do I still need to configure...

    Sony Blu-Ray, HDMI and DTS question

    I have the new Sony Blu-ray player and was wondering if it will decode the new DTS HD codec and output it via HDMI. I have a Yahama receiver with HDMI 1.1 and it can handle the uncompressed PCM. The Sony manual seems to indicate that the player will decode the DTS HD, but I've read a variety of...

    Toshiba HD-DVD and Video Essential Question

    I just received my Toshiba HD-DVD player the other day and I came across a problem when running my Video Essentials calibration disc on it. While using the test pattern to set the black level I discovered that my player fails to produce a blacker than black stripe, which makes it difficult to be...

    Dead DVD Titles!

    My Apollo 13 collector's edition went bad on me, as well as my copies of Blade and Driven. All three played fine originally, but over time they just took a dump. However, the one title I keep expecting to go bad hasn't - the original first pressing of Contact, which has had a lot of complaints.

    If the Fanalysis is on the keepcase version as an easter egg, can anyone give directions on how to find it? I was able to locate two easter eggs but neither was the Fanalysis. James
