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...
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...
Has anyone else seen the review of the upcoming SUPERBIT version of "Leon The Professional" by a reviewer on DVD Talk. He basically said the audio on the SUPERBIT version was inferior to the current International Edition because they used an uncorrected (wrong) original audio track--meaning the...
Please continue to sign the HD-DVD petition: http://www.petitiononline.com/cehddvd/ The HD-DVD petition will be re-printed and discussed (for a second time) in the next issue of Widescreen Review. Sony is talking with studios for supporting release of 1080p pre-recorded media. The...
We need a new Dolby Digital format as well as a new DTS format for the upcoming 'HD-DVD' format which could utilize around somewhere around 2-4 Mbit/sec (or so)(actually, you could use 10mbit/sec if you really wanted to.. and still have 20+ Mbit sec for video, however, video is much more...
I've been absent for around 6 months now and have finally gotten things under control. I just purchased a house and I'm looking to start my Internet service, and HDTV service from scratch. I would appreciate any feedback on advantages of one setup vs another setup with cost/best combo deal being...
Just a quick note to let everyone know that the petition is completed-please sign the petition and spread the word!

We are in the process of constructing a petition AGAINST the DVD Forum's decision to "Nix" Blue Ray HD-DVD and other WIDE BANDWIDTH optical delivery media such as FMD technology.

My feelings on tactile transducers for general readers. Some of the paragraphs are repetative, I'll try to edit out the redundancy later. Please read :
First of all, the (.1) just means limited bandwidth, nothing more. A dedicated channel means you can put whatever information you like in that...
Who else out there is bothered by having previews, and lots of the content in the DVD being non anamorphic? A good example is FOX's DVD intro when they flash all of those movie sequences in NON-ANAMORPHIC. Why make an anamorphic DVD and make a preview that is non-anamorphic causing distortion...
The last movie I went to see in a commercial theater is GLADIATOR. Ever since I got my HT in full swing, I have lost all desire to go to a commercial theater. The experience at home equals or even far exceeds even the best commercial theaters in all aspects: 1) Sound (far exceeds), 2) Tactile...
My Parents took me to see this movie when I was 10 years old and it had left quite a memory! I haven't seen this movie in a long time, yet I'll always remeber the title because I saw such a graphic movie at a relatively young age. So.. any news on when this 'classic' will make to DVD?

We should really begin thinking hard about fighting for an HD-DVD format. With working prototypes of 100 gig FMD/Violet laser technology available, how long are you going to settle for a measly 480i format when your HDTV and projectors are capable of so much more? DVD is the equivalent...
Hi,
Perhaps the software section can answer my question or at least relate to this experience.
I recently upgraded my Death Star Platform (tactile transducer platform (13 feet wide by 6 feet deep)) from two Carvin 2000 watts bridged mono to each Buttkicker, to two QSC Audio PLX 3002 amplifiers...
I recently upgraded my Death Star Platform (tactile transducer platform (13 feet wide by 6 feet deep)) from two Carvin 2000 watts bridged mono to each Buttkicker, to two QSC Audio PLX 3002 amplifiers which would supposedly have less fan noise and provide a little more headroom over the Carvin...
Hi I was wondering if people could post their recommendations of various IMAX titles. I am putting in an order for the new Super Speedway because it was always highly rated, and now comes in 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen. Are their any other IMAX films that are 1.85:1 aspect ratio? Most...
Hi,
I just wanted to say that I had a few people over and put in the "Waiting for Guffman" DVD. I looked forward to seeing this only because of the good reviews on the Internet. To make it short, all 4 of us just looked at each other and unanimously wanted to turn off the movie after 40...
Hi,
I am a little frustrated on how to affordably seat 6 people across a single row in my HT room. This means a couch that would be 12-12.5 feet across would be perfect.
I do not have room for 2 rows of stadium seating currently. I need to find something that will best seat 6 people across the...

I was just wondering that if the GOAL of superbit DVDs is to take maximum advantage of audio/Video, why not use DTS in the higher bitrate? It would be great if the only thing on a superbit was the higher bitrate DTS track and the rest going to superbit video. Nothing else should take...
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but what was the original version which I owned? I never opened it and sold it on EBAY for $70.00...
It was 1.85:1 widescreen anamorphic, wasn't it? I don't rememenr because I never opened it and I never watched it. I wish I could buy it back, but only can...
A discrete tactile channel is also something that I hope will come to fruition. After owning a tactile platform (The Death Star Platform with two stereo buttkickers--now each with their own 2000 watt 'monoblock'), I cannot imagine being without tactile feedback.
The platform, I feel, is very...
I'm trying to find the 'best' STB/HD Receiver available. I'm very interested in 720p output since I have a Dwin HD700. I'm also interested in using OTA HD reception since I live in Philadelphia with 6 channels available...
Can anyone provide the technical specifications and comparisons between...

I have been creating a cost no object/no restraints subwoofer that is superior to the Krell MRS and Wilson XS... It is what the Wilson XS should have been.
First and foremost, I would like to wholeheartedly thank Deon Bearden and Greg Monfort for their continual advice and support during their...
