I had the same issue. Mac OS X 10.5.7, Safari 4.01 Thanks for your hard work as always!

Todd writes: No offense, but welcome to last year. I agree that the IH is reference all the way, but does this need a new thread considering this was released 7-8 months ago? --- I for one welcome any comments about any film on disc by RAH, no matter when they were released. Not all of...

I had the B&K Ref 30 back in the day. I also got tired of waiting for upgrades and switched to the Anthem AVM 20. It is awesome, works much more intelligently than the B&K and sounds better. I would recommend looking at the current Anthem lineup, including the Statement D2 if it's in your price...

Can Dave or anyone else clarify whether the DTS track on the new disc is the new mix or whether it is the original mix ported to DTS. I ask because, while I agree that the DTS track is far superior to the DD track on the UTB, I have to say that the new DD track is better yet. Seems to have a lot...

Hi, As Doug wrote, it sounds like you are using the digital output on your DVD player to the Anthem. To hear the hi-res surround with the Anthem (I have one, too), you need to use the direct 6-channel analog input on the Anthem, assuming your DVD supports this and has a 6 channel output...

Mike, Isn't the Film Noir Collection 2 from Warner? You have Fox listed on the roundup. THanks for all the hard work as usual. Enjoy the weekend! Scott

The Costco price on the Controversial Classics Collection is $52.99. Better than DDD and Amazon. My local Costco also had a case of Scrubs Season 1 out a week early, but it would not ring up at the register and they went and pulled them off the shelf. The price will be $26.99 when it goes on...

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the commentary on Blood Simple. Done tongue-in-cheek by a "film historian," it is a great satire on the whole commentary process. The guy is so deadpan when he makes such outrageous statements like the opening scene in the car being shot with the actors and...

Whoa! :b Thanks for the heads up. Saved me $5 and a ton of disappointment when it came in the mail and I realized my error. Sorry for the confusion.

Some Deep Discount DVD prices: MST3K Vol. 7: $35.88 Four Feathers: $9.12 My Man Godfrey: $4.99 For $5, I think I have to try the Godfrey disc, even though I hate to "support" colorized versions. The B&W comparisons posted at the link above do indeed seem quite close to Criterion...

Columbo Season 2 was 33.99 at Olympia Best Buy, no markdown at the register. : (

Thanks Mike, I saw that post, but he's in Ohio. We don't have BJs wholesale store up here that I know of. I should have said "Has anyone around here (in the northwest) seen it in a store?" Thanks again for your awesome work each week. It's the first click of the day every Sunday!

No Classic Comedies box at Costco, Borders, or Best Buy in Tacoma, and none at Costco and Best Buy in Olympia. Best Buy had all the individual titles, however. Did they not get the box out to retailers in this area for some reason? Anybody actually seen one in a store? Scott

Ahhh.... I never clicked all the way through. I just saw the "Add to Queue" button and went back thinking it was rental only. Thanks!

When I go online, all I see is the rental stuff. Where is the sales area?

Well. thanks to this thread, I put together four huge shopping bags of crappy old discs that had been sitting in the closet waiting for me to get motivated enough to put some big lots on ebay. I took in around 160 discs. They took all but 5 which were not in their system--mostly unrated versions...

Hunting of the President for me. I want Eternal Sunshine, but $20? I'll wait.

I'm not sure, but I did not notice anything weird about the framing when I watched this. I really dug this film. Some truly bizarre stuff. The snake (deliriously funny un-special effect), and the very hot dance made this well worth it. ;)

Thanks to mike posting the CompUSA ad in the other threaed, I had no trouble PM'ing at BB, even though the nearest CompUSA is at least 35 miles away and we definitely do not get their flyers in our local paper. With my latest $5 reward certificate, it made it $34.99. So, Thanks again...

How cool is this? I just got Best Buy to price match CC on the Film Noir box with a printed copy of the Weekly Roundup post! She didn't even bat an eye. Thanks, Mike!

Our local Costco had the Tarzan collection for only $36.99. Cheaper than DDD. Needless to say, I snatched it up quick.

You're right, but volume alone isn't usually the main point. When you add instruments it's mainly for the purposes of tone color. The composer will have a much wider range of instrumental sounds to choose from to express his ideas. To put it into a visual analogy, compare early orchestras having...

Interesting question. Since sound is created by the movement of air and volume of sound is determined by the amount of air moved, and if the other conditions could truly be equal, then yes, 20 violins would be louder than a single violin, since there would be more instruments moving air...

Just to clarify. The CC ad says the 11.99 per CD price is limited to 3 "per title" per customer. I don't think there's a limit to how many CDs one can buy.

Yes there is a HP jack with a level control.

Well, after a week and a half, and a dozen or so discs, I have experienced no problems with this one. So far so good. Maybe this newer firmware did the trick.

The one I picked up today has the firmware as posted above. They mentioned that the DVI output has been activated already. ESS 6334-1 Make Day 1015 DRV 030825 System 6542-1 DSP1 6332 DSP2 6333 So far no problems with two movies. I'll let you know if I experience any of the issues I...

How do you get this info from the unit?

I am picking up my third 5900 tomorrow for this problem. Hope it solves it, otherwise I may give up on this player. The first player I had did this a couple of times, and the center channel of the analog outputs went dead. The replacement, which I have had for three weeks has done this on about...

I have the VX1000c. I love it! I would expect the ci to be even better with the newest chip, but I have no complaints on my setup. I use a 96" Greyhawk screen, seated about 10 feet away. Picture is truly breathtaking, and I am constantly amazed by it. I am sure you won't be disappointed if...
