    WTB: SACD & DVD-A

    Dave...Hello there. Unfortunate I don't have any SACD's to get rid of but I wanted to give you a recommendation of one which I think is phenomenal. You might check out the SACD version of Death Cab for Cutie's Transatlanticism. I'm not sure if you have heard them before or even like them but...

    JAMES BOND ULTIMATE COLLECTION

    Thanks for the info! I'll pull out A View To A Kill to see if the cropping bothers me. I think it was Colin's review that mentioned The Spy Who Loved Me not being an improvement. That it improved upon some things, but worsened some other areas. I figure I'll do a comparison and just keep the one...

    JAMES BOND ULTIMATE COLLECTION

    After reading all of this thread (and it's a lot to digest), would I be accurate in saying that the only two older SE Bond movies that one might want to hang on to, for video quality purposes only, are Goldeneye and The Spy Who Loved Me? I realize that there are some special features missing...

    DVD Review HTF Review: Jaws - 30th Anniversary Edition

    Well, I fired these two back up tonight just to make sure I wasn't just sleepy eyed the first time I compared. It's actually a quandary. On one hand, you get a slight more detail with the 30th Anniversary edition but at a cost of a light amount more EE. With the 25th Anniversary disc you get a...

    DVD Review HTF Review: Jaws - 30th Anniversary Edition

    Well, I compared the 30th to the 25th on my 92" and I prefer the video on the 25th. While it is true that there is a very subtle improvement in detail on the 30th Anniversary release, there is definitely more ringing (EE) along hard contrasty edges than on the prior 25th Anniversary disc...

    I'd have to disagree with both Cold Mountain and Hero. At least on large screens, neither look very good. I watched Millon $ Baby last night, it looks quite nice though.

    Possible new INVASION('78)?

    Anybody heard anything about this one yet? Will this one have a new anamorphic transfer or will it sport the same lackluster non-anamorphic transfer from the first one making this essentially just a repackage? Hoping for a new transfer as I really dig this remake but I fear it's just a...

    Odd request / Raiders of the Lost Ark Reel

    That's a shame as there were a lot of good photos. Hopefully they will be able to restore them all. And yes, if the person who originally took the picture still has it I really would appreciate a link to it if you can post it somewhere or perhaps you could email it to me. Thanks!

    Odd request / Raiders of the Lost Ark Reel

    Hey there, how's everyone? I have searched and searched and searched with no luck. I am posting this request in this forum just because this is where the original thread (or at least a link to it) was originally posted many moons ago so I thought someone might remember what I am talking about if...

    Star Trek Generations CE DVD??

    The search engine is your...;) jk HTF Review: Star Trek Generations (Paramount should be ashamed of the video transfer) Try using DVD Basen when searching for reviews on the net. It is a very useful site and they always link to HTF's reviews.

    'Cold Mountain' - any opinions of this disk yet?

    How can this studio continually keep putting out lackluster discs? It may not be as bad as Gangs but its damn close. If the other studios (for the most part) can usually get it right, why can't Miramax? Needless to say, I was not too impressed when I watched this last night on my 92”.

    Matt, thanks...that sounds pretty dang good, I have always been pretty fond of that particular Hitch movie.

    Didn't they also mention that they were remastering Strangers on a Train?

    Do You Believe In Dvds? (Miracle)

    Put me down for wanting the entire game included. Right after I watched the movie I turned to my wife and immediately told her that a nice 2 disc set including the actual game would be fabulous. Here's to hoping they include it!

    Discs coming filthy, even when brand new??

    It took me trying three Die Hard sets to get a clean set, the first two sets I opened both had finger prints on disc #2. I actually picked the set up on release day and then exchanged the very next. Just recently, disc one of South Park Season 1 was finger printed up. The other two discs in...

    *** Official THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE Discussion Thread

    I want my $$$ back! And how many more movies must R. Lee Armey call someone a maggot? I have a question about the ending. When Jessica Biel takes off in the sheriffs car with the baby, she gets about a mile or so down the road, Leatherface is in the road and hits the car with his chainsaw...

    Any plans for more 5.1 Home Theater Specific Mixes?

    I'll second this! We watched The Lion King last night as well and we were blown away by the entire presentation. The Home Theater 5.1 mix ranks way up on my list of all-time DVD mixes.

    TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE Re-release specs!!!

    Oh yeah, I agree completely. The commentary alone is worth the $$$, one of the best I have ever listened to.

    Matrix Reloaded--Official DVD thread. Post all comments here.

    That's interesting. I just watched Reloaded and while it looked tremendous, I still think AOTC looks better. At least, that is what my eyes tell me. I did think the audio was darned near perfect on Reloaded. I didn't adjust my sub at all and I never once thought that I should. No where near like...

    TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE Re-release specs!!!

    I threw this in last night just to refresh myself with the video quality especially since I haven't viewed it since I got my front projector. It is like they processed a lot of the grain out of it but in doing so made the image extremely soft. I watched the trailers on the disc and though...

    Which version of Night of the Living Dead?

    Exactly right Kevin! The faux THX logo at the beginning is the main reason I have held on to the original Elite DVD, I just love it and they got me too. I also read about the sepia tones during the beginning of the Millenium Edition that isn't in the original Elite DVD so I just stuck with it...

    Die Another Day audio sync problem

    Well, this is number 3 for me. Shrek dts, Moulin Rouge dts, and now Die Another Day dts. The DD tracks seem to play fine, only the dts tracks. BTW, my player is a Panny RV-80.

    I pulled the trigger on the Infocus X1

    George, thanks again! I tried the film mode this evening and I think I like it the best. Just finished watching Nemesis and Saving Private Ryan, both looked amazing! Noted rainbows in Nemesis early on but as the movie went on the rainbows went away (for the most part). I didn't see a single...
