I'm curious? On the BD and HD DVD players I know several decode the newer formats like DD+, DTS-HD and DTHD in the players and send the signal as PCM. What I want to know is the bass management? Is the bass management, time delay done in these players or in the receiver? Thanks in advance!!
I admit i've been out of the loop on this one lately. I do miss the presence of a Jerry Goldsmith and still appreciate the presence of composers like John Williams, Danny Elfman, James Newtown Howard, Hans Zimmer and especially James Horner's work, however i'm curious who's new on the scene...
With all the excitement with Fox's announcement of DTS-HD:MA on all it's releases. I'm wondering what current or announced players are capable of decoding these formats? I understand that players with an HDMI 1.3 output will be able to pass the stream.
I am wondering if anyone here has this title? I read on the box that it's NEWLY REMASTERED? Don't know if this means that they went back and did new telecine or not? I'm curious if anyone here can compare it in quality to the previously released versions and if so can compare it to the...
Just throwing this out. I've loved both the Bourne films and though they are a different type of spy film it does kinda show a better way of doing it! I do believe that the Bond producers were eager to change the direction of the franchise to update it along the lines of Bourne? Any...
I am a recent subscriber to standard resolution Dish Network. I'm curious to know which of the pay channels (HBO,STARZ,CINEMAX,THE MOVIE CHANNEL) broadcast in Dolby Digital? I know each pay service has multiple pay channels and wondering is Dolby Digital offered on all those channels and if...
I have yet to see any dates for this show in 2006 and since Hi-Def is just around the corner i'm thinking they may need to increase their frequency. Reason being is that there are 15 seasons of this show and we are only on season 4. If the rate of 3 a year were to continue we'd be looking at...
With all the talk on who the new Bond will be i'm sure it is nothing compared to who would originally replace Sean Connery back in the 60's. Well not remembering that era but reflecting back to the choice of Lazenby has me wondering?? Would Lazenby have made a good Bond? OHMSS is...
Now that the series has had 3 different composers(or should I say 4 due to the Zimmer/Howard collaboration) wondering what everyone's take is on the scores? Do you have a favorite score of the whole series? Favorite composer? Let's hear your thoughts? I always thought that Elfman's theme to...
First of all I must say that I love, I mean LOVE BATMAN BEGINS and it got me into looking back at the other films in the series. Of the films BATMAN RETURNS is the one I just can't get into. I just found all the villians (Penguin, Catwoman, Max Shreck) to be rather dull and Batman/Bruce Wayne...
I've had a chance to scan through the discs and the packaging and have a few observations. Now being a longtime fan of the show i'll never argue the fact that Jerry Orbach's character has been the heart of the show. However I do find it curious that Jerry's face is most marketed on the...
know several of us on the forum are fans of film scores. There have been several great composers throughout the years and I thought it time to give tribute to some of their great LOVE THEMES. So which are some of your favorite LOVE THEMES?? Here's some on my list: SPARTACUS- simply yet...

When I say that I mean alot of film defects: cracks, pinholes, scratches, color fading or oversaturation of just plain worn? Reason for asking is it seems to me that what i've been able to see that the studios have really upped the quality of film transfers (from theatrical releases) over the...
Here in my area I don't know of any cinemas that feature SDDS in 8 channel mode?
Anyways I was reading on Sony's SDDS site about the films that have been released in 8 channel. To me it sounds really exciting and has me really looking forward to the next generation of home theater when you...
In watching this I couldn't help but be impressed with Morricone's score for this one!! Wheter it was the main theme or the secondary themes this score has it all!! So what are your thoughts?
I'm working with a 5.1 system though with my Onkyo receiver i'm capable of 6.1. For those of you with 6.1 setups how much difference does it make to have a "back" channel?? Do you have any favorite discs and scenes from those discs that really show off the effects of a back channel? I'd...
Well whichever side you are on this has to be a good thing!!! I'm curious what the compression ratio is on this baby??? It's not a mandatory (however regular DTS is) however it'll be compatable with current DTS decoders. Well read for yourself and chime in with your thoughts!! DTS...
Too me this was the last good Stallone movie and I think a bit underated. It had a great over the top performance by James Woods plus a kicking surround track!! I'd love to see a actor/director's commentary and a making of with new interviews with cast and crew. The fact that it has one...
I was looking over his credits on IMDB. I didn't realize the number of scores he had. When he first emerged I feared he would be a film scorer along the lines of a Giorgio Moroder or a Harold Faltermeyer (whom I actually like) but he's certainly found his own voice. I'm wondering which are your...
I know that MLP is for DVD-A and DST for SACD but i'm wondering what are the other forms of lossless audio codecs and how do you have any information about them or a link that describes them?
"Law & Order" Loses Another Lawyer? by Joal Ryan Jun 23, 2004, 1:35 PM PT Looks like the mother ship is coming in for another overhaul. The mother ship is the ever-morphing Law & Order, which stands to lose costar Elisabeth Röhm at midseason next year, NBC announced Wednesday...
When I got my excellent Elton John: GOODBYE YELLOW BRICK ROAD on DVD-A was glad that it had a bonus disc which contained the documentary on the making of the album. Instead of a double holding case the 2 discs were stacked on top each other. Now correct me if i'm wrong but couldn't they just...
I must say that it's suprising news that they went out of order? However marketing-wise not a bad idea as those episodes have never aired in syndication yet! Kinda like the premise behind 24. Hopefully after this, they'll release back in order! I want seasons 3-5 with Ben Stone as the...
How do you feel about it? I believe that ER has been released on DVD-18 and I read that the upcoming season of LAW & ORDER will be released on the same format. This certainly is different to have the 3/4 disc set over the tradtional 6/7 discs sets that come with Season long sets! I'm...
Wondering if anyone got any of the 3 UNIVERSAL releases that were due yesterday: Marvin Gaye, David Sanborn, Aaron Neville? If you purchased any, what are you impressions?
First of all i'm overjoyed about the official announcement!! I've literally been waiting on this one since I got a DVD player back in '97. I'm also glad to see this one released as a 2 disc release! I was always concerned that it would be overcompressed with bonus materials on the disc with the...
