What's the deal with Amazon shipping small items in large boxes? Sometimes they send books and DVDs in cardboard wraps (meaning not boxes, but pieces of cardboard wrapped around the item), but increasingly in the last few years they're sending these items, and ones as small, in 12x9x2 boxes. The...

From today's New York Times: http://www.nytimes.com/2005/04/12/ar...ic/12sony.html Before the merger, Mr. Hetherwick restored some of RCA's legendary recordings, reissuing them as hybrid conventional and Super Audio CD's. He said he would do the same for Sony's Masterworks Heritage series...

For my senior thesis at Cornell University (so this is for educational purposes), I've argued that DVD-video can be used to present classical music in a more engaging, educational, and entertaining way than past and current forms of home media can. To do this, I've created a DVD centered around...

Does anybody have any suggestions on how to package wine bottles for shipping them via a mail service? Online I've found packaging supplies specifically for doing this, but you have to buy in bulk; I'm only sending 6 bottles. While I guess I could always just use bubble wrap, since this is a...

Dear Home Theater Owners: I'm writing an academic paper on film exhibition locations (general thesis is that Movie Palaces, Drive-ins and Home Theaters are all pretty similar), and was wondering if anyone was willing to answer a few questions about their home theaters. If you'd be willing to...

I'm doing a multi DV camera shoot, and I need some 100ft long RCA cables so I can hook the cameras up to a TV for monitoring purposes. Video quality is of no concern because all I care about is making sure that the framing is how I want it. Can anyone suggest a place where I can buy such cables...

After months of nagging, I’ve convinced a friend to buy a SACD player. Understandably, he’s not looking to make a major investment – his budget is about $250-$300. After reading consumer reviews on this site and others, it sounds like all the entry-level SACD players (DVD players that support...

As always, the Japanese divisions of classical music labels are ahead of their American and European counterparts. Universal Japan is releasing a large number of Hybird SACD reissues on September 29 in Japan only. Some of the releases include: Bach, Johann Sebastian / Violin Concertos...

My hard drive has died and I'm looking for someone/a company that can get the data off of it without charging me my first born child as payment. Any recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks.

I want to get a TV for this upcoming academic year, and when looking at what stores like J and R, Best Buy, and Circuit City have online, I was surprised how relatively inexpensive widescreen tubes are. Because this TV will be in my bedroom, I don't feel that I need anything larger than 26" (and...

News reporting at its finest: Hiding messages on DVD -- a trick originated by computer software designers -- is a trend affecting some of your favorite movies http://www.nbcsandiego.com/money/2991884/detail.html

I'll be impressed if anyone can get this. I sure can't: There are 12 identical looking stones. Inside one of the stones is a diamond that you want to find. 11 of the stones weigh exactly the same, and the one with the diamond weighs either slightly more or slightly less than the others. You...

These are pictures of the bottom of my basic black & decker steam iron (steamxpress 620). What is this crap, how do I get rid of it easily, and what can I do to prevent it? Thanks for any help.

Does anyone know if there are any plans to release Zabriskie Point on DVD in the near future?

For a production class this semester I'm going to have to do quite of bit of digital video editing - I'm shooting a documentary on DV. Since the doc is going to take a while to edit, it made sense to edit it on my computer so I could edit whenever I wanted for however long I wanted. I have a PC...

I've never seen, rather heard that happen before.

Are there any TiVo owners here that live in the Ithaca, NY area (or central NY, but not farther than Syracuse) that would be interested in talking about TiVo for a documentary I'm making for a class at Cornell University this fall? I'll post a detailed summary/outline of the project by next...

From: http://boards.iclassics.com/cgi/dcfo...umID22&omm=127 The 3-channel track is big news. I was expecting Universal to give us a gimmicky 5.1 remix. Also, Universal finally listened to the consumers and picked recordings that they want.

This weekend I had the pleasure of being part of a focus group. It was an interesting experience – definitely worth doing once. The event was billed as a test screening for TV pilots, but they ended up asking more questions about supermarket foods, skin rashes, and side-by-side refrigerators...
