Hi folks, I am a long time member of the forum, but I've been pretty much in the "software (read: movies DVDs, ..)" side of things, so this is really the first time I venture into the hardware area.. I moved into this house over a couple years ago and it had been prewired (more about that...

Somebody local is advertising a Tos SD3950 for $78, supposedly only used a couple of times with all original accessory, doc and box. Don't know anything about the model, just want to know if aybody has experience with it and whether its a good deal. BTW, one of my DVD players is my 1st gen Tos...

I was just watching this Lost Broadway Treasures thing(I think) on PBS, in the show they mentioned only 7 people have ever won both Tony and Oscar for the same roles they played in both Broadway and film. Two were mentioned, Joel Grey as MC in Cabaret, Yul Bryner as King in King and I, and I...

With purchase of any 123studio software. Check it out at their website, www.dvdxcopy.com . I am not associated with this company in anyway, I have one of their old products, and am happy with it. If the spec is accurate, this is an unbeleivable deal. Most of the 4x dual format DVD writers out...

I am looking for a recorder to record off my sound card, recording includes old records (probably line-in), internet radio (probably wav). Tried a couple off Cnet download, but really did not work all that well, anybody has any favorite? BTW, I use Musicmatch Jukebox for my internet radio and...

This just occured to me, I wonder what everybody think of the idea of packaging the original and remake together as one single package (I assume there will be some legal probelms, but just for argument..)? Personally, I do not watch remakes, but I do understand there had been some decent ones...

I am not a Mac person, and notice I ask "how" and not "if", I assume that if lowly Windows can play VCD on WMP, the Mac MUST have native software to do it. I loaned a friend of mine a couple of my VCDs (home made, plays fine on my CyberHome 500 and Windows), but she came back and said she...

I am in the process of revamping my machine, moving to BIG disk, swapping out the CDRW and DVD for a DVD RW, slab in USB 2.0, .., the works. As part of the process, I need to squeeze out another PCI slot. I thought, the obvious candidate is to find a 56K modem and ethernet combo PCI card... To...

Folks, it's time to take the leap into DVD writer world. I like to get some ideas on if it's worth the extra bucks to get a multi format writer, by which I mean one that does DVD+R, DVD+RW, DVD-R and DVD-RW. Thanks.

$15 plus shipping. A little gizmo that I used to connect my old Toshiba 2019 digital out(Coax only) to a Sony decoder (optical in only). I think this stuff retails for $25-$30. I am estimating shipping will be $2-$3, as it's pretty small.

I have 2 questions regarding the new (posted 3/18/03) forum guidelines: 1. It's not clear to me what #5(No thread farting. If you see a thread that talks favorably about a particular subject, don't ruin it with negative comments)really means, I am pretty sure this does not mean if everybody...

I think the R1 version was released Tuesday. Anybody know of other region's versions (comments) ? I vaguely remember there is a French 2 DVD version that's even subtitled (PAL??), may be it was discussed here under the Truffaut collection set.

Hi, I need some help from fellow bargain/rebate hunters here. I brought a 100 CDR Hi-Val brand spindle in August, with a $30 rebate at OfficeMax. Some people may remember it, as it was kicked around in this forum for a little while. I sent in my rebate in August (8/20), and after a couple of...

Has anybody tried it yet ??

Hi, I just get caught up on the latest HTPC software thread, and I noticed a post by Vince a week or so ago mentioned ATI's Catalyst was penned by the HTPC community, can you elaborate a little bit more on the downside (or provide a link) ? I am looking at the ATI AIW 7500 and 8500, and the way...

I am on XP Home, running ATI TV Wonder VE (MMC 7.6), IE6 and Opera 6. I use both browsers, but Opera 90% of the time. I just loaded and installed IE6 SP1 last night, and this morning, I noticed now I have an ATI TV button on my IE tool bar, when I click on it, it opens an ATI TV window on the...

Is there such a thing ??? Tried the usual places, Fry's, CC, BB but no luck. Here is the deal: I have a stack of VHS tapes that I want to archive on CDR (VCD). I have a 20 year old Magnavox that's not being used and perfect for the job. The problem is my sound card takes a stereo mini plug...

Just installed a Lite-On DVD a couple days ago, everything is fine except that it comes with only a standard 4 pin analog audio cable. Now both the player and my sound card (SB Live) supports digital audio (2 pin connector), but neither one comes with digital cable. So far I have no luck...

I just installed DVDProfiler on my XP machine (used to run on W2K), things seems to be fine, I can add, go on line, upload and download, the one thing I noticed is it does not seem to take registration code under XP, iow, the "about" under help no longer showed it's a "premium" version, did not...

I am sitting here doing my annual Easter Ten Commandments watching ritual and I started to think about past "epics". I am old enough to have watched Ben Hur, Ten Commandment, Cleopetra, Lawrence of Arabia, Dr Zhivago,...when they were first released. I remember the "Parting of the Red Sea" was...

Just finished watching an hour of Peter Jackson on Charlie Rose, and it's really an hour of LOTR. Jackson is simply wonderful and if you are a LOTR fan, don't miss this, I am sure it's rerunning over the weekend. Jackson mentioned he just finished cutting the DVD version, which will be 30...

With all eys on the Lions, the Panther quietly creep up and took the trophy. 15 consecutive loses, a new NFL record, also ranked last in both offense and defense.

Watch a little bit of Ebert this weekend, he had a little blip on the whole superbit busniess, his opinion is there are noticable differences and manufacturers should do superbits and extras on a second DVD.

have to post one to make cookie stick.

Anybody seen either one of these yet ?

Scheduled to release this coming Tuesday(11/20), just picked one up today (11/18) at Best Buy for $19.95 (2 DVD version).

OK, guys, I am lost... I just picked up a copy of Pitch Black (Director's Cut) and for some reason, I just could not get DTS out of it at all. It plays in DD 5.1, but when I press audio select on my DVD player, there is nothing to select, I tried select DTS on my Toshiba before starting the...

Looking into upgrading my ancient (12 years) bedroom TV, a Zenith 20" Stereo, it still works great but I really want to be able to watch DVDs in bed (the old box only has a RF input). Video quality related items are important, such as possible component input, etc. Good reception capability is...
