I'd vote for: - Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon - Toy Story: Ultimate Toy Box - Brazil, the Criterion Collection tim

None of the threads on this topic seem to have been updated in a while, so I'm choosing this one to ask in. Does the upgrade for the 5800 add the ability to take inputs on S-Video, composite, etc. and pass them to the component output? Thanks, and if there's a better thread to post this in...

I've read enough to convince me, but I live in the Bay Area (East Bay to be more precise) of Northern California and haven't read anyone mentioning knowing a good calibrator in the area. So, does anyone know of anyone they'd recommend? I just read that San Francisco Stereo has just been ISF...

7402 Signatures Total on the Petition as of my signature, 10:45pm PST on Monday. Tim H.

Given the information provided, which I think I understand all of, let me change the request for information... I'd like recommendations for a 32" TV under $1000. The preference would be for as many of the following features as possible, though clearly having all of them isn't possible. In...

Well, this last post really summed things up nicely for me, and reading over the posts (once I had the Toshiba 4700 in mind) adds to the pile of info I'm seeing in favor of the 4700. I don't know about the person who started the thread, but this has been extremely useful to me, and will save...

A friend and her husband are splurging a but this Christmas, getting a new TV, DVD player, DirecTV/TiVo subscription, and some DVDs. I'm likely to recommend the Panasonic RP-56 (finding out more in a separate thread). They've got some deal on a DirecTiVo, which leaves the TV. She wants to...

On one hand I'm hearing the RP91 is great, and that the RP56 is basically the same, but without DVD-Audio support. Then, later Paul H. says that it basically has no features aside from a great picture. I've got the RP-91 and while I'd recommend that to my friend, the $450 is steep for her...

There are other, easier ways to support HFS+ on your Windows PC. There are companies which sell software to support it. This is irrelevant however as it's not as simply as just copying your MP3s to the device. The Finder visible files aren't visible to the player. When iTunes copies them over...

I just recently asked for the sound to be turned down. I was fortunate enough to be so overwhelmed during the credits that I was able to ask before the movie, Harry Potter, started. The trailers were so loud as to be painful. It was noticeably quieter soon after I asked, so they responded...

I too tried my speakers (B&W CDM 7NTs mains) with and without the speaker covers. My wife and I both could tell the difference quite clearly. In my case it was brighter, clearer, sharper sound. You really need to try your speakers, in place, to know whether it will matter for you and your...

Just to clarify, I didn't work on the project, and regardless I couldn't comment on any future plans. Apple's FAQ implies the device requires a Mac, but I would assume the device would work as a FireWire drive on PCs as I assume it's a standard FireWire device. Who knows though... you'd have to...

(First, I work for Apple, so you may take my comments as biased if you like, that doesn't, however, make them incorrect...) In response to Scott Bourden: FireWire is more than "nice" in this instance. It means the difference between a 5 hour download time (USB) and a 10 minute download time...

I don't think this was meant as a joke at all. What business is it of Blockbusters what happened in your private life that shows up in your hair? Let them judge their employees by their performance on the job. Whether it's a government or a private interest testing a presumed innocent person...

Try the brand ECCO. They are not running shoes, they come in many styles which are not fancy. They are, above all, the most comfortable shoes I own, and my wife also wears this brand often and thinks they are the most comfortable she has. I think I bought a pair at a Macy's in SF, and I...

Another strong indicator that it's fabricated is that this whipped off missive to a friend doesn't anecdotally mention some of the points of the alleged speech, but recounts it word for word as if it's being dictated or was recorded. Not proof it didn't happen, but unlikely enough to make the...

Another vote AGAINST the donation suggestion. While I would agree that donating old equipment is the ideal solution for this kind of thing... in this case, it not working and all, most of the organizations you'd be donating it to don't want it. They aren't typically repair facilities (even in...

>>Wonka is 1.85:1 open matte. It's not hard-matted and there >>isn't any CGI, so the stuff you're losing in open matte is >>just RESOLUTION. NOT picture. >No, you also lose the original composition of the film. If >you lose that, who cares how it's done? This point will likely never be...

I haven't bought the current edition of Christmas Story because it's Pan and Scan. I can see that on TV when it comes around, I don't need a DVD to give me that. My wife, when I thought this thread was telling me there WAS a version in 16x9, mentioned she'd thought of buying it for me for...
