D-VHS is a nice treat for Hi-end home theaters, everybody knows that... it is what it is. Nobody ever claimed it was anything other than a niche product. For me, I will always pick higher performance over convenience. If you have the money to spend and want D-VHS for a handful of excellent...

Joy!

Yep, that is exactly why a format war is going to be hurtful. Anything other than a full force combined effort is going to significantly hurt the success of HD-DVD/Blu-Ray. (It's too bad that Sony/Blu-Ray can't drive the nail in the coffin by simply supporting VC-9/H.264 and lossless audio)...

If Blu Ray offers 1080i MPEG-2 along with Standard DD and DTS... and HD-DVD offers 1080p24 VC-9 with lossless audio, well, which really is superior? Blu Ray offers more storage, but not more bandwidth. What good is it if Blu Ray offers around 50% more physical storage, but then loses 200% due...

Actually, HD programming could be a hell of a lot better. As I said before, DVD and HD-DVD are 4:2:0 which by itself is very lame, and that is before all of the edge enhancement, de-interlacing artifacts, compression artifacts, yada, yada, yada.... My point was that once you have two...

I'm just really pissed off that there are lots of DVDs missing, many of which I will probably not remember because I bought them based on a review I read a long time ago... Unbelievable the way some people just screw you over.

The Cue Cat is no longer available. I ended up getting this one: http://idautomation.com/ccdreaders/SC4USB.html I purchased the $25.00 version of DVD Profiler... Hopefully this will be as easy as plugging in this USB barcode reader to my wireless G Toshiba M200 tablet PC and scanning in...

A lot of older films are being resored, practically pixel by pixel, frame by frame... especially with the new hi resolution storage format that is about 4000 lines of resolution... so now studios have begun archiving old prints with the thought it only has to be done once and will capture all of...

Anyone have recommendations on what barcode reader to get and where? So far I've Froogled these: http://www.barcode-scanner-source.com/ http://www.tcwo.com/cgi-bin/webc.cgi...4oBmP0-K0QuDk6 http://idautomation.com/ccdreaders/SC4USB.html Are USB barcode readers all the same? I...

DVD Profiler: I think that is the one I meant to say. Isn't that the one used by Mario's Cinemar suite? Perhaps since I plan on using that someday, I should use DVD Profiler? I believe the quality of the cover art is poor only the free version?? I think when you pay for the better version you...

Two questions: I am missing 15-20 DVDs... It seems my former tenant or less likely one of the contractors who have been working on my house have taken various DVD's... When you're busy or have a lot of DVD's (around 900), it takes a while to notice.... I'm just really pissed off right now. At...

HD-DVD ASAP! I have 900 DVDs or so and look forward to buying HD-DVD ASAP... I am sick of interlaced 480i video and having to deal with de-interlacing, scalers, etc... HD-DVD will be a big step up in Audio and video quality, at least I hope so: Last I heard was that 1920x1080p/24 would be...

The First movie in an excellent triology is ALWAYS going to be the 'best'... while the second can be 'as good' or just 'different' OF COURSE THE FIRST MOVIE IS GOING TO BE THE BEST BECAUSE IT IS THE FRESHEST AND ORIGINAL. I always get amazed at the level of expectations of sequels.... Anyway I...

TOTALLY suprised by T3!!! I did not see this in the theater for one reason: My home theater is superior... the 6000+ watt tactile feedback just gave life to this movie. The whole house foundation was moving... but the craks can be repaired... It is nice to get nuked along with everyone else...

I'm going again tonight at 10:00 p.m. as the 7:00 show was sold out for a while... Not sure abut Alien, but for Revolutions, anyone here who has seen the IMAX version should attest that for all intensive purposes, the screen is 'filled' and I beg to differ that there is any appreciable...

I'm still choked up over the experience and look forward to going again. I bet tonights showings are all sold out already. I look forward to organizing a group of people to go for those I know that have not seen it yet... Some I have to get them to catch up on the first two yet... maybe next...

Letterbox technically is equated with lower resolution... Still, it is not as though you are using all of the film grains in the IMAX film. I believe the native film aspect ratio/exposure is 1.44. Sure the image is OAR but still not native IMAX and I think letterbox term is not incorrect. It is...

Imax King of Prussia: Video: You would barely notice it was letterboxed because the screen is so damn big to begin with. Letterboxing is simply not a factor and for all intensive purposes is the same IMAX experience visually. Bottom line: it is significantly better than the best commercial...

Tony, Glad to hear it! Short Version, I have something to do ;) I am still choked up! Movie for the most part, exceeded my expectations. Do not see this the first time in a regular theater. Patience is a virtue is correct. One big meaningful experience is by far better than a few...

Almost quitting time! 10 p.m. showing is getting closer!!! Wooo Hoooo!!! Maybe King of Prussia has tactile tranduction also.... Ok, so I got a semi spoiler from this review: "SPEEEEAAAAAK!" I'll be sure to write something tomorrow....

www.fandango.com That's what I used ..... Tomorrow night can't come soon enough!

Eric, See you at 10:00 show ;)

I heard Return of the King will be in IMAX... Wow is this really happening? I never go to comercial theaters, but IMAX is a huge incentive... Give me 3-D motion and tactile feedback, and perhaps a full body suit with a genitalia attachment and I'm set! If we get the latter, then I want to watch...

Excellent! I always fantasized about watching a movie like this on IMAX, let alone DAY AND DATE!!! I hope this is the way of the future because commercial theaters have NOTHING to offer over home theater, in fact, the audio is worse and the lack of tactile feedback is dissapointing. I've...

I was wondering if anybody has seen the IMAX showing of Matrix Revolutions? This is playing at King of Prussia IMAX in Philadelphia, which is a new IMAX theater. Do I assume correctly that the IMAX version would be more intense? I've never seen a theatrical release in IMAX and look forward to...

Whoever was responsible for creating this 'superflop' should be notified... Guess I'll be selling the version I have on EBAY (trying not to laugh)... Guess I'll be going to deep discount to get the latest NON SUPERFLOP version... Thanks for the help! Chris

Unbelievable! How on earth could LEON make it to release! I wonder how many people bought the 'Superbit' version... Hopefully somebody will point the bad soundtrack out to them so they don't do it again when the 1080p AOD/Blu-Ray version comes out. I'm glad I read the reviews and cancelled...
