Sure, I'd love one too!

Pretty much any ABC, CBS, or Fox series is done in both 16x9 and 4x3. As far as 16x9, while I know it has got to look great in the UK, both broadcast and on the DVDs in 16x9, nothing can compare to the absolutely glorious 16x9 HD presentation CSI usually is over here. That said, I'd still love...

I was reading over the press release, and noticed that Dave's information is backed up by U.:

David, you said,

Woo hoo! Life is good. Just checked the site I preordered from, and they've already shipped Season 3. :D Thanks, once again, for the review Ron. I've been looking forward to this season since I watched Encounter at Farpoint, and your review helped to remind me why my anticipation was well...

Thanks for asking the question - this is one I would love to see on DVD. I don't know anything, but here's hoping... --Andrew

In clicking the link to win a Philips DVD recorder on this site, I noticed a "digital widescreen - see what you've been missing" button on the Philips website. Clicking it brings you to a great website (Link Removed) on the virtues of widescreen, and of course Philips widescreen TVs. ;)...

Only thing keeping me away from D-VHS is that there aren't any firewire HD DirecTV STBs, so no way to record HD which is what I really want D-VHS for. If they released a D-VHS recorder with a built in ATSC tuner I'd already own one. As to the issue of Star Wars though, if it was released in...

I only have The Parent Trap, but I was pretty impressed with the quality of the transfer. No doubt - I've seen old movies look better then this, but this is only The Parent Trap. I really had absolutely no complaints about the transfer quality. Now, add to that the ton of extras they've added...

Well, with many thanks to David for bringing this to our attention and for providing some inspiration for my own email, here is what I sent to Disney: Dear Marketing, I am an avid movie watcher. I buy a lot of DVDs, and many of these are Disney DVDs. Even when I may not feel like spending...

I called as well, I didn't get the name of ther person I called but she knew exactly why I was calling. She ended up clarifying whether I wanted full frame or widescreen (I said widescreen, of course) and she also recommended emailing [email protected]. It looks like we've at least...

Wow. These are simply amazing. I don't know what your "day job" is Ric, but this work is good enough to take up full time! While I actually like the original Paramount boxes, your second design has swayed me to go ahead and pick up some keepcases from inetdvd.com. I know this has to be taking a...

Well, just to add to the anecdotes - I did the same thing buying A.I. at Best Buy. Got it home, opened the packaging, and didn't even notice until the disc was in my player and I saw those lovely black bars on the sides of the screen. :) The worst part is, when I went into Best Buy to try and...

Well, I'm not going to break much new ground here but my top three DVDs (in no particular order): Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs Platinum Edition Simply amazing audio and picture quality - especially for a movie of its age. A great story for the whole family and an excellent example of how a...

Well, you learn something new everyday. It appears that although the manual makes no mention of it my player does automatically upscale letterboxed films to 16x9 when set in a certain mode - which just happens to be what I've had it in when I've played Mary Poppins. I did some more testing and...

Dave, It doesn't have that feature as far as I know and I've played non-anamorphic titles on it before and when I set it up to windowbox 4x3 content it does it no matter what the AR of the movie is. I am pretty sure it isn't my player doing some kind of technical wizardry but an anamorphic...

Well, I was worried there for a sec. I had posted without popping the DVD back into the player again and thought maybe my memory was fooling with me so I put it on just now. I have a 16x9 display and a JVC 723 DVD player. I even set up the player to put black bars on 4x3 content just to make...

The "Gold Collection" version of Mary Poppins I bought recently certainly is anamorphic. I'd love to see more extras dealing with the movie, as what little there was on the disc was pretty good (excepting the exceedingly stupid trivia game). But from what I remember the image/sound quality were...
