    Who is going to win the Format War and why?

    If Robert want's to continue to make this personal, I'll just say one thing is for certain.... RobertR has made it near the top of my "Do Not Trust A Word They Say" list. His set of steak knives are in the mail. ;)

    Official Samsung BD-P1000 Blu-Ray player thread

    No, and I consider Bill Hunt a very trusted source... he also didn't suggest that Blu-ray offered an inferior picture to HD DVD, only that there are some obvious problems with specific titles. Regardless, that's just one paritally bad review... (and one I would mostly agree with BTW) now...

    Official Samsung BD-P1000 Blu-Ray player thread

    Mike, can you please provide a link to those 99 bad reviews from trusted sources who have not shown any bias towards or against any one format, and proof, like what Steven provided with his pics, that they actually have a Blu-ray player. Otherwise, as history has shown, the anonymity of the...

    Who is going to win the Format War and why?

    Robert, I have had just about enough of your nonsense! STOP putting words in my mouth!!!!!!!!!!! If you even bothered to look above I agreed precisely... you just twist reality to suit your agenda and its pissing me off. Your comments have been incredibly misleading and disingenuous to the...

    Who is going to win the Format War and why?

    So we have at least one trusted source with actual proof they have both players saying there is no deference in PQ. Please provide the other trusted sources that have proof of owning both players that suggest that Steve is wrong and that BD PQ is inferior. Without it, then your consensus...

    Who is going to win the Format War and why?

    And even if that were the case, which I most definitely am not suggesting it isn't, it not only doesn't explain why his "data" has never even been confirmed by any Toshiba rep, but without any official confirmation from Toshiba we must consider the source, and the possible motives they might...

    Who is going to win the Format War and why?

    So while some bees may be "buzzzing" about how bad Blu-ray titles look, at least we know one trusted source with proof of his ownership of both players has a VERY different opinion.

    Who is going to win the Format War and why?

    His "source" was from someone on AVS claiming to be an HD DVD dealer somewhere in the US. Of course, even if he was an HD DVD dealer, most find it curious how a dealer would have access to that data, and yet even Toshiba has never even hinted that figure was remotely accurate. Then when you take...

    Very clever lad! :emoji_thumbsup: I’ll have to be more tricky next time! [EVIL GRIN] BTW: Have you ever checked out the order that actors were added to IMDB? It's actually pretty cool! Start with this URL address/Link: www.imdb.com/name/nm0000001 Then progressively change the number from...

    Somethings just aren't worth explaining. :D So Steve.... did you understand the #0000219 clue? I wasn't sure if it was going to be to cryptic or not. :crazy:

    Here is one final hint.... using the number 0000219 in the right location will reveal the answer. :)

    Testy Area 51

    :laugh: BTW: Your guess was very close... and that was hint #3. ;)

    Testy Area 51

    Hint #2: It has to do with a notorious Actor (still working today) and his notorious film career making action films.

    Testy Area 51

    I like your guesses, and its the guesses that add to the fun... sort of like one of our "Create a Caption" games we play here on occasions with screen shots. :) As for a hint.... It has to do with a notorious Actor. :D

    Testy Area 51

    I'm guessing you are just kidding right? :) After all, films don't have to have happy endings, or avoid topics of tremendous horror and injustice to be inspirational... In fact, like some of the films you asked about, it is how one person or many who fight against these horrors and injustices...

    Hey Austin Texas Buddies? Can anyone help me out?

    Heads-Up: Ronald Epstein, co-owner of HTF has started a thread for people to request three titles they would like to see made available in HD from each of the major studios. HTF will compile these requests and submit them directly to the heads of each studio's home video department. In the...

    High Definition DVD: What is Holding You Back?

    I was going to make a list, but this is prety much spot on how I feel as well. Even down to your point about how a highly desired title might get me to adopt a format sooner. If and when these formats offer truly "killer-app" type titles with oodles and oodles of new HD supplements, I might have...

    Considering getting a front projector questions??

    Howdy Jay, I'd recommend that once you have picked out the projector, get it first before picking a screen. Once it is in the location you want, and you know what size screen, you will want/need, then start looking for screens. There are several very good and relatively easy to do DIY...

    Austin Movie Nights!

    Thanks for yet another wonderful concert! Unfortunately we couldn't stay to the end, but the family and I had a great time, especially Anika as she got to play with Mark's dog, and all the other dogs she could find on the hill. :)

    Who is going to win the Format War and why?

    Presenting things as facts, when they are proven not to be facts at all, but mere speculation, theory, or just plain ugly FUD is in fact being dishonest. Furthermore it was not a personal attack, unless you feel that anyone that points out that your facts are not actual facts is a personal...

    First BD titles under scrutiny: The Fifth Element and others

    And yet mysteriously they are not showing up on many of the first BD titles despite the limited space and MPEG2... amazing. Once again, there are real reasons to strongly urge all studios to use either VC1 or MPEG4, but that isn't to suggest that MPEG2 is currently not capable of providing...

    Who is going to win the Format War and why?

    :laugh:... oh the irony... and hypocrisy... if there was any doubt... you've certainly made it clear now. Excellent job with the FUD. :thumbsdown: The only thing I partially agree on, and where actual facts support it, is that for those that wait until next year to get either an HD DVD...

    First BD titles under scrutiny: The Fifth Element and others

    Where have I EVER said that???? Geez... even in my post I specifically point out that using a newer compression codec would be superior such that there is more space made available... The point I was making and the one that you have conveniently danced around without addressing is that you...

    First BD titles under scrutiny: The Fifth Element and others

    Please provide a link of a "reviewer" that has compared these BD titles to their master tapes, that has led you to come to the conclusion that they are not transparent to the master… or more importantly, would look any differently had they been compressed using VC1 and recorded on to HD DVD...

    First BD titles under scrutiny: The Fifth Element and others

    Based on what exactly? A single thread from a relatively unknown member with only four responses, most of whom have expressed negative remarks on Blu-ray long before its release even. For your statement to be remotely accurate you would have had to have compared an HD DVD title and BD title...
