    Triplets of Belleville DVD

    I use a Panasonic AE-500 LCD projector with a native resolution of 1280x720p. My DVDs are upscaled using an HTPC and FFDShow. I usually see varying degrees of EE on most titles in my collection, ranging from subtle to downright horrid, since I'm projecting on a 112" screen. So I was surprised...

    Triplets of Belleville DVD

    The UK release from Tartan has no EE whatsoever. In fact, it appears to be a Pixar-like pure digital transfer! I bought this edition because it was the only one with a DTS track, and ended up pleasantly surprised by the stunning transfer. The end credits are also razor sharp; they were...

    Raiders in HD

    These commercials are driving me crazy! It's been a while since I last watched a film on network TV... I guess I'm not used to it anymore. It feels like we're watching a 3-hour infomercial for "Dinotopia", interrupted by brief snippets of Indy in glorious High Def. Having said that, the 720p...

    HDTV Expanding in Canada

    HDTV is here at last! :D A Rogers tech is supposed to bring my Explorer 2000HD box tomorrow morning... The Movie Network's HD feed should be added to the lineup in January... I'm keeping my fingers crossed for re-runs of The Sopranos and Band of Brothers in High Def. Cheers,

    GC component cables in canada

    Thanks for the tip, Matt! I've been trying to locate a component cable in Canada for weeks now. I'll give that number a call first thing tomorrow morning. Hopefully I'll be able to play my GC in 480p soon -- interlaced mode via S-Video looks awful on a 61" HDTV. :frowning: Cheers,

    ***Official 'Super Smash Bros. Melee ' Thread***

    Thanks for the excellent review, Jeffrey! I was on the fence about this game: Everything I had previously read about SSBM made it sound like it was pointless to play in single-player mode. And since I'm past the age of having buddies over to play video games, I was getting ready to pass on this...

    Lovin' that "Ignore List"

    I absolutely love the ignore function! Any Usenet veterans will surely remember the beloved killfile... This is no different than PLOnK'ing someone. (Man, I used to love saying that!) Of course, unlike the newsgroups, we have mods here who do an excellent job 99.9% of the time. I would never...

    Anyone else notice how the tv screen is not completely filled in?

    Virtually all TV sets have a small percentage of the picture on all sides that is "hidden" from view (i.e. it goes beyond the physical edges of the screen.) This is known as overscan. Console manufacturers compensate for this by leaving picture information out of the overscan areas almost...

    What are your favorite SNES RPGs?

    I have fond memories of Actraiser, even though it wasn't a "pure" RPG. (But then again, console RPGs are very different from their PC counterparts.) Actraiser combined action/adventure and RPG elements with a city-building mode -- a novel idea at the time. The soundtrack is among the best I've...
