Topic: Blu-ray Disc or HD-DVD?

I don't see why a Blu-ray disc can't be double sided. Not that I would want that anyway, I hate double sided discs purely for practical reasons.

In the end it would be better if Blu-ray wins because of the much higher audio and video bitrate specs, and in a few years it will be needed. I don't give a shit about menus or interactive crap. I just want the movie in the highest possible quality. BTW, what is this "so much more" HD-DVD is capable of?

As far as studios exclusive for one format, I don't care, I'm still guessing when I'm ready to buy HD stuff there will be a good affordable player that plays all formats.

The R2 dvd I've seen also had an extended version of that episode but I don't know if it was as long as 70 minutes. I only found out after I had seen the normal episodes and started to check out the xtra's on the disc.

Bono? That guy thinks he's so great. He probably thinks he deserves a Nobel Prize. Saving the planet and the poor in comfort, style and luxury.

Yes, I'm going to watch the DC of KoH too. From what I just read at IMDB the changes are indeed huge (not to mention it's 49 minutes longer). The version I saw was Scott unworthy.

I haven't seen all his movies but I really liked Black Hawk Down, Alien, Gladiator, American Gangster, Legend and 1492. I didn't like Kingdom Of Heaven, I thought it was a pile of crap.

But speaking of 1492, I bought the DVD years ago. Why do you think it's not on DVD zombie84? (maybe there never was an R1, I don't know, but I have the R2)

Although I have the 5 disc set of Blade Runner I have never seen any version of the movie.

There is no need to make an exact copy. You can simple copy the VIDEO_TS folder to your hdd and burn it on a new dvd with ImgBurn (it's free). Set ImgBurn "mode" to "build" and "output" to "device". When selecting the source to burn click the third icon to select a folder and select the VIDEO_TS folder. Now you can burn it (ImgBurn will burn it as a DVD-video).

Sorry I don't know how to solve the frame shifting stuff.

Do you want to rename the subtitle tracks or the audio tracks?
If you open the .ifo with ifoedit you can label an audio track with the correct language and also add an extension like "for visually impaired", "director's comment", "alternate director's comment". The subtitle track can be named with the correct language and a coding caption like "forced caption" or "director's comment". I don't think you can give the audio or subtitle tracks custom labels.

Yes you can copy dvd-recorder recorded disc using your pc. I always capture old tapes directly to pc so I don't need a recorder but my dad also has a sony dvd-recorder and I copied some of his discs. I just copied the content to my hdd and burned it with nero or imgburn. But depending on the record mode of the dvd-recorder the files on the disc can be different. In standard mode you get a normal VIDEO_TS folder but in some different modes the recorder creates a different folder with different files.

Btw, I think if you capture your tapes with your PDI card and encode them yourself the results will be much better than a dvd-recorder can produce.

I don't think JediTemple70mm is doubting they are 5.1 He just wants to know if the archival six-tracks used for this release are true six-tracks or twin six-tracks.

Did you see the letter from Ridley Scott that comes with the 5-disc set? I especially like the second part, George should follow Ridley's example.

Wow, a lot of reactions since I made the thread yesterday. Thanks everyone and especially C3PX, your post was very clear.

Fortunately this political party is very small and doesn't have enough votes to be of any significance politically.

On another note, a lot of old churches in the Netherlands used to have 2 entrances. 1 in the south wall for the men and 1 in the north wall for the women (although most if not all have been replaced by 1 entrance in the west wall). As I understand it when the churches were build (in the dark/middle ages) people believed everything dark and evil came from the north and it was the fault of a woman, eve, that the Paradise was lost so the women had to enter the church on the north, dark side of the church. Could this believe also have something to do with this religious political party banning women?

Since there are some people on this forum who are knowledgeable about religion and the Bible I was wondering if you could help me with some questions. I don't know much about the Bible and I only read some parts recommended by C3PX.
There is this christian political group/party in the Netherlands that believe woman shouldn't vote, shouldn't be able to become a member of a political party and shouldn't be politically active. They claim to follow Gods word in this. By following God's word I assume they are talking about the Bible. I would like to know if there is anyone who can tell me how they could possibly have come to this conclusion. I guess it doesn't literally say this about women in the Bible so I would like to know if there are parts that can be interpreted this way.

Very good indeed.

I finally decided to watch DS9. I watched almost 3 seasons in 10 days. I can even appreciate the Ferengi now. That Quark isn't so bad.

YES! But I only played the single player missions (all of them). At "hardened" this is like Black Hawk Down (the movie) but more intense. I especially like the different weapons you get to use.

I quickly read Fred Thompson's most important political views and I have to say I agree with all of them.

I shudder to think what that would have been like.

Well, Iraq would still be a stable country with Saddam in place. Thousands of US soldiers wouldn't have died for nothing (not to mention the countless thousands of Iraqi civilians). Maybe Osama would have been actually killed or captured. Oh and the US wouldn't have wasted over 500.000.000.000 dollars.

Huh? Aren't they as big as their name says they are?

(plus a few extra mm to feed them thru the projector ofcourse)
