Attempted to watch the New Line DVD of American History X last night, and about halfway through, the disc began freezing and pixelating, ultimately forcing me to stop playback because it wouldn't go any further. The same thing happened with another DVD we attempted to play some weeks back, the...

Because I didn't pick this up when it first came out a few years back, I was stuck with getting Disney's repackaged version of this title (dubbed the "Ultimate Collector's Edition" as compared to Fox's original "40th Anniversary"), which looks like this: I seem to be having an issue with the...

Okay, now this is beyond frustrating at this point. I had a feeling something was going wrong with my 9000 outside of the physical operational noises (the vibrating "bump" sound in the tray mechanism when the drawer shuts, etc.) because I have been seeing tiny signs of laser failure such as...

From my understanding, William Castle's original House on Haunted Hill was never available, on physical media, in high definition outside of Scream Factory's Vincent Price Collection (one of the volumes), yet it is available in a plethora of DVD variants -- most likely due to the public domain...

Was just wondering... With the Vinegar Syndrome 4K release of the original Amityville Horror -- which we have discussed in here ad nauseum -- will it be long before Scream or another boutique house (maybe even Vinegar themselves, being that they put out Amityville collections in the past) puts...

Can anyone who has purchased this and watched it already confirm that the DTS-HD Master Audio track (5.1) is actually "remastered" as the marketing materials suggest? I ask because, as we have discussed in here before, it seems that Scream messed up the 5.1 track on the Collector's Edition...

Can anyone give me a straight-up answer regarding what the best COLOR SPACE setting to use is when viewing HDR on a Samsung LCD? I have always left this on "Auto" for both SDR and HDR on my NU8000, but the more I read about this the more I come across opinions that state you're not really...

Does anyone know why there haven't been any reviews on the recent release of 8 Mile on 4K Blu-ray? I ordered it, and it's on its way, but for the life of me, I can't seem to find any online reviews of this title -- does Universal have an embargo on this or something?

Okay. This is concerning me now, because it seems to be happening regularly with UHD/4K Blu-rays on my Panasonic DP-UB9000...and I hope it's not the player, because this thing cost us $1K before tax (we're actually still paying it off). Has anyone else who bought the Poltergeist UHD Blu-ray...

Vinegar Syndrome is taking pre-orders on it now; while I am a MASSIVE fan of the franchise in general -- especially the first three MGM-sanctioned films -- I still enjoy watching the discs in the Amityville Horror Collection DVD set, which look good (especially the first film because it was...

Can someone else who owns this title on 4K Blu-ray (Region 1/A) confirm something for me? We just received this disc in the mail from Best Buy after waiting for it to come down in price a little, and I was shocked when I ran it through my system -- the HDR10 layer (our Samsung display doesn't...

In response to our trusty Onkyo TX-SR605 (from circa 2007/2008, still going strong in our main HT system) showing evolving signs of its HDMI out port dying (at this point, sometimes I can't even get the menu to respond when I want to go back a page by hitting RETURN on the remote, aside from the...

Second Sight on Twitter: "Happy New Year everyone! And to kick of 2022 some very exciting news on THE HITCHER! We've tracked down the negative!! 😁 Thanks to Warner’s archive team for allowing us access, we will be doing a full restoration for 4K/Blu-ray release later this year. #TheHitcher...

Okay, so, as I asserted in a different thread, our trusty Onkyo 605 -- bought new when it was released and never exhibiting a single hiccup until now -- seems to have succumbed to the HDMI OUT failure, as I can no longer see the setup menu on our Samsung 4K screen when I press the SETUP menu on...

I am running an Onkyo TX-SR605 AVR, which was purchased in and around when the model hit the market (circa 2007 or so), and while we have experienced zero issues with it thus far (save for what may be a now-failing HDMI out port that I use only for checking the receiver's settings on my 4K...

We have been running an Onkyo TX-SR605 since it was released (so circa 2007/2008 or so) and it has powered two different systems, first in an apartment we had and then in a house we moved into. It actually does everything we need, save for the height formats of course (Dolby Atmos/DTS:X), as it...

I understand it's not a popular entry in the franchise, though it is my personal favorite of them all, but I can't seem to find ANY buzz from ANYONE on any site about a possible release of this on UHD Blu; I own the regular Blu-ray (which replaced an old full screen DVD edition I previously...

I had read that this was going to be available on physical copy around the end of May or so (for those of us who were waiting to buy the disc version rather than watch the HBO Max variant), but I don't see Best Buy or other outlets taking pre-orders for it. Does anyone know where this can be...

I'll kick things off... Taken From:

If anyone owns this title (I know, I know...it's seriously over the top and totally off the rails even compared to Fate of the Furious), can you check something for me? The HDR grade is supposed to be in Dolby Vision and HDR10+ according to specs and from what I was told on a UK-based forum...

Can anyone who owns this release confirm something for me? Universal had originally put out this Blu-ray of the 2011 prequel to John Carpenter's shocking classic, but Mill Creek Entertainment reissued it last year, and that's the version I recently picked up. I didn't notice until last...

I picked up the Scream Factory Collector's Edition Blu-ray of John Carpenter's The Thing yesterday at a local buy-and-sell shop (the disc was actually new) to replace the non-anamorphic Region 1 Universal DVD I owned, and if any of you are familiar with Scream's Blu-ray of this title, there is a...

Title: Amityville II: The Possession Tagline: In "The Amityville Horror", the Lutzes got out of this house alive. This family was not so lucky. Genre: Horror Director: Damiano Damiani Cast: James Olson, Burt Young, Rutanya Alda, Jack Magner, Andrew Prine, Diane Franklin, Moses Gunn...

First, let me preface this by saying thank you to everyone who participated in my Poltergeist thread and for clarifying what I wanted to know about that Blu-ray release; it was much appreciated and confirmed for me that I can just get the barebones release because all the discs are the same in...

Are all the releases of this title on Blu-ray the same? Do they share the same transfer? I know there was a digibook of the title put out by Warner Bros. some time ago, plus some special edition-esque DVDs with a supposed "remastering," but there are bare bones versions of the Blu-ray floating...

Didn't see a thread for this, so if there is one, this can be merged, I suppose; being that I still believe this is a viable medium and possess a formidable collection of discs (and still buy those that never made it to Blu-ray or UHD), figured this was a cool place for the remaining DVD fans to...

I have a question regarding the DP-UB9000's picture settings memory for the different picture profiles; as some of you who have perhaps used the Panasonic UHD Blu-ray players know, they allow for three separate custom picture profiles for the three different types of disc-based video media the...

I have a Samsung NU8000 4K panel, and under the "Auto Motion Plus" menu, which controls the display's motion interpolation, there are two sliders for Blur Reduction and Judder Reduction (in addition to one for black frame insertion, which I don't use because of the horrible flicker it causes). I...

Is it possible for high resolution formats such as Blu-ray and Ultra HD Blu-ray to exhibit video artifacting issues with their transfers? Let me come at this from another direction... I've watched my 1080p Blu-ray copy of Captain America: Civil War, since it came out on, first, a Sony 50"...
