    help: DVD in Black & White?

    I just tried my PS2 and it was B&W even with games. I'm wondering if somehow the TV is converting all 480i & 480p to B&W through component since S-Vid is in color? Is that possible? Does the 360 output 480 for DVD's instead of upconverting to 1080 while games and the menu is in 1080? It's...

    help: DVD in Black & White?

    From the DVD player to the TV via S-vid works fine, just tested it. I changed component cables as well. The thing I find REALLY weird is the Xbox 360 menu's and even video's from media center work perfectly, but as soon as I play a DVD (even the DVD menu's) it's all B&W. I switched between...

    help: DVD in Black & White?

    Okay, here's an interesting situation, I'm hoping someone has seen something similar. I have a '99 Toshiba TW57H81 CRT RPTV when I try to view DVD the content is in B&W. I've tried sources from the Toshiba DVD Player, Xbox 360 & PS2. When I view the 360 menu's they're all in color, but as soon...

    DVD Review HTF REVIEW: Ella Enchanted (Recommended!)

    I can't find it in Widescreen here either. All the rental stores have it only in full screen as well as all our media sales outlets. I guess if I REALLY want it I'll have to order it online... sigh. Of course, still can't get Flight of the Navigator here either yet :frowning: Chris...

    Has anyone tried re-surfacing the DVDs to see if that corrects the problem?

    DVDs that just.... "Die"

    Anyone have any DVDs that work fine when you first get them, then soon after they start to pixelate and break up a little into the movie? I have 2 from WB that do that: Empire Records: Fan Edition and Watership Down. There's virtually no markings on them... there's a tiny scratch on Empire...

    Anyone seen MGM's DVD of Much Ado About Nothing?

    I believe that the SE wasn't released in Canada at all... which is unfortunate. If you want it you'll have to get it from amazon.ca (as an import) or Amazon.com.

    how to replace video card fan and with what??

    Fan's are redily available at computer part stores, just take in your old one and get the same one.. it should come off your card with about 4 screws. Or if you want to get a solution that will allow over clocking, as well as quieter, longer life, you can go for the zalman ZM80C-HP VGA Heatpipe...

    HTF REVIEW: "Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Secrets" (with screenshots)

    It's sad that there was no tribute to Richard Harris since he died shortly after the filming of this movie. And obviously won't be in the next movie. Chris.

    HTF REVIEW: "jackass the movie" (warning: adult orientated review) (with screenshots)

    I just saw this movie and I think there were literrally 2 skits that made me laugh a bit. I refused to see it at first, but on Ron's review I figured I'd give it a try. Sorry Ron, still not a fan here. Chris.

    Anamorphic Powder and Phenomenon?

    Actuall The Rock wasn't released as an SE, instead Criterion released it's own version of it. I'd love to get these 2 movies with new anamorphic transfers :) Chris.

    Cube SE!

    Wow, lions gate actually releasing a GOOD version of a DVD... thinking back to Boondock Saints and how bad that DVD turned out, this is definately exciting. I'll be buying Cube without hesitation. Cube 2: Hypercube... well, that's a different story, I saw it... the most I would say about it...

    El Mariachi DVD

    The Desperado/El Mariachi disc is WAY too expensive in Canada, and I already have the Desperado: Superbit DVD. And if you look on thedigitalbits.com under cover art you can see the cover for the new El Mariachi DVD. Chris.

    El Mariachi DVD

    Okay, thedigitalbits says the El Mariachi DVD is out tomorrow, but I can't find any stores that will be selling it. I did a search on dvd Basen, but only one norweigian site managed to do a review, but unfortunately I can't read norweigian. Does anyone else have any info? Thanks, Chris.

    Any Roger's Cable HD subscribers out there?

    Hopefully this doesn't get me in trouble. But for us Canucks, there is a forum dedicated to questions like this: http://www.digitalhomecanada.com/forums/index.php Check it out. It has some great stuff there, about Canada Satellite, and Cable HDTV, etc. Good luck. Chris.

    Lion's Gate "Boondock Saints" on WS set

    I have this one and a widescreen TV. It is non-anamorphic widescreen, which means you have to find the widescreen mode to zoom the image. It should fill yer screen without losing any picture. For my Toshiba TV, it's theaterwide mode 2. Good luck. I don't think even the Fox US version of...

    HTF REVIEW: "Much Ado About Nothing" (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED) (with screenshots)

    Does anyone know why I can't find this in Canada? Futureshop, A&B Sound, no one has it. Was it just released in the US? I can order it from Amazon.ca but it's too expensive that way. Will it be released here later? Thanks, Chris.

    Anamorphic Adult Video Released

    Actually, there is a movie by Wicked called "Dream Quest" I saw when I got Video On Demand for free, it was widescreen. BTW, it actually has a plot... kinda neat! Too bad the DVD for it is not 16:9 enhanced... hehe. And yeah, I heard about Euphoria... quite the collection of extras, but I...

    Paramount TV series?

    Does no one else really want to see DUCKMAN??? I love that show! Only 3 short seasons. Not a lot of episodes. Please, please, please, it's all I ask for! :) Thanks, Chris.
