    DVD Review HTF REVIEW: My Neighbor Totoro - RECOMMENDED

    Someone told me the video transfers are the same. The R2 release uses "dubtitles" for the translation whereas this current release uses literal subtitles. The sub-tranlsation for this release is better.

    Deleted Scenes Look Better Than The Movie?

    I always thought Edge Enhancement and Compression are the reasons why the main movie looks worst than the deleted scenes. I doubt its a problem with the original source.

    MUST READ: Dan Ramers outstanding "scaling" article at dvdfile.com

    The Lumagen HDP is a much better product than the HD Leeza and it only cost $2000. I've had both the Leeza and HDP and by far the HDP is a better product. But I understand thats not the point of the topic :).

    Merged Thread: LOTR: ROTK - Theatrical & EE Release Dates? & DVD Features

    I watched the R1 version last night and I can say the video quality is awesome. It's an absolute improvement over the Two Towers and Fellowship EE DVDs. The picture is cleaner and more solid with less noise. To my eyes it’s a big improvement, but some may scoff at the lack of film grain that was...

    Spider-Man 2 DVD Reviews - when?

    I can tell you for sure that is not true. While the Spiderman 2 Superbit video is not reference, it is better than both LORT EE sets for sure particularly in the saturation and minimal artifacts section. There is some softness and EE, but it's only in minor shots (about 7% of them), otherwise...

    Spider-Man 2, which version??!!

    Well, I guess your right. For comedy and romantic movies 1.85 is just fine, but for action and Sci-FI movies 2.35 is much better. But again that's just an opinion. I remember watching SW Episode 2 in 1.85 on HBO HD and as good as it looks, I still prefer the 2.35 DVD version. The 16x9 version...

    Spider-Man 2, which version??!!

    For the dialog and music, the difference is marginal at best. It's when there is lots of action going on when I hear a bigger difference. The DTS track seems to have a bit more "kick" compared to the DD. Again, it's only marginal; the DD mix is not at all bad, in fact it's excellent. I dont...

    Spider-Man 2, which version??!!

    I watched the Superbit version last night and the transfer is outstanding. I wouldn’t say the whole disk is reference, since there was a problem with about %7 of the picture (some minor softness, and what I perceived as edge enhancement; that could be the way it was filmed). But the rest of the...
