Congrats on making the jump to projecting, Harmy. Which model projector did you choose and what did you go with on the rest of your setup (receiver, screen, etc.)?
I have a Benq W1070+ DLP. It's decent but I can't wait for 4K projectors to become more affordable - I have a 10ft roll-down Elite Screens screen (135" diameter) and my viewing distance is about two meters (6.5ft) and I feel like the screen could still be bigger (I'm one of those people who prefer to sit in the first few rows in the cinema) but at this size and distance, the pixel grid is pretty noticeable on a 1080p projector (as it is in cinemas that still have 2K projectors).
I bought 5 pairs of 3D glasses with it and the 3D is fantastic - way better than on my 58" 4K Panasonic TV - no ghosting whatsoever and the colors are also really good after some adjustment.
As for sound, I have a Panasonic 5.1 BD Home Theater system - nothing fancy but it has a 3D BD player and the sound is really good (at least to my ears).I play most movies from my computer hooked to the projector via HDMI for picture and to the Panasonic HT system's audio receiver via toslink. I could also use my BD player but this is actually simpler and produces better quality image, so I usually only use the BD player for stuff that requires menu (like extras) or for 3D BDs.
And I agree that without a new version on the horizon, continually bitching about colors on SW is now bordering on beating a dead horse. Everyone should focus their opinions on Jedi right now and after that on Empire when V2.5 (with even less GOUT and correct credits) comes into focus. Never your minds on where we are, what we are doing, you are all reckless.
Thanks!
Does your receiver support video pass-through via HDMI? In that case it would be preferrable to connect your PC to the receiver via HDMI and transmit the audio too in lossless format. TOS Link only supports 2 channels of lossless audio (PCM) or lossy 5.1 DTS / Dolby Digital. The projector gets the video via HDMI from the receiver then.

Glad you guys are really liking what we are doing, it is very nice to read this, it does look like we are a big hit at B-T and that is great, with the true HD streaming you just cannot get any better then that, this Site ROCKS!!! and by this weekend I will have ALL our projects up for download and stream in 1080p, and I talked to Vinnie we will replace T1 and T2 with our versions, so thanks to Vinnie for that.
Again thanks guys, it really does mean a lot to us to read these nice comments.
What exactly do you mean by "replace T1 and T2 with our versions" ? And does the streaming feature require new encodes?
Hello dark_jedi and TeamBlu,
I'm following your releases with interest and since you are always interested in feedback I'd like to give some general remarks. What I'm really missing is some more detailed info for each release like the following:
- Why was this project made?
- What video and audio sources were used?
- What post-processing if any was applied? (color correction/clean up/etc...)
- Where do the extra's come from?
Neither the nfo nor the project specific page do give much info about this. Maybe this info is burried somewhere in the threads? Would be very interesting to have this as part of the nfo and in the intro section of the project page.
Keep up the incredible work. I'm definitely looking forward to future releases of TeamBlu.
Cheers!
Glad to hear it's working out so far! I certainly would appreciate an invite for Blu-Torrents as well.
Cheers!
