I never really understood why people would go out and pay for that software anyway. There is a freeware program called DVD Shrink that works better and does more and it doesn't cost a dime. I was suprised that they were around as long as they were to be honest with you.

As far as DVD protection there will never be new DVD protection otherwise you would need all new DVD players to decode the new protection. So what there is it what there is. I just hope that you can back up your HD-DVD's easily. I know my backups have saved me a few times. You know how kids like to just throw stuff around. Well I would be out quite a few movies if it weren't for DVD Shrink backing up my DVD's. Of course there are people out there who just copy all the movies they rent and never pay for a DVD in there life. And that is really sad.

Just my two cents

I'll tell you one thing. I just upgraded my Infocus 4800 to a 4805 and my old Toshiba 57HX81 widescreen looks way better for playing these DVD's. With something like this you can't really blow them up that big. It really shows all the faults to much for my tastes.

Rikter is right though, people do expect way to much out of these DVD's.

BTW i have always used the DVE set up discs.

The TR47 set uses the orginal PCM 2.0 audio yes. But with a Prologic II reciever it will decode to the rear channels very nicely. The closest to 5.1 you will get for the OT. It's not 5.1 but sense the orginal trilogy was never put out with 5.1 (On laserdisc i mean I know it was in theatres with 5.1) that's the best you can get as far as sound.

The TR47 set really does spank the anamorphic on sound.

As for picture it really only matters if you have a widescreen TV with a good zoom feature. If you don't have good zoom go with the Anamorphic. If you have a decent zoom the TR47 will look better.

If you don't have a widescreen TV at all it won't really matter all that much which set you get.

Hope that helps

I liked Blair Witch for what it did for us independent filmmakers. Suddenly a 30,000 dollar movie had a shot at making millions and for about three weeks studios took notice. But yeah other than that the movie sucked.

As for the Village. It sucks hard. I didn't care for it much. I don't want to say anything and give away the ending, but I thought it sucked.

Yes OPERA is a good movie. If you have never seen a Dario Argento movie this is the one to start with. You more than likely won't find a better Giallo film anywhere.

I totally agree with the Signs thing. I didn't care for the ending. I liked Sixth Sense the first time I saw it but it's really a one trick pony. Once you know how it ends there isn't much to it. Every movie sense Sixth Sense has seemed like the twist at the end is being forced out. (By every movie I mean every Night movie)

Oh and Sixth Sense is for sure a horror movie.

Anyone seen Opera?

Nope that's an actual DIY screen that I made + It has 3% light gain over a white wall or bedsheet and has about the same quality of picture as my 48x48 Da-Lite Screen - I know it's NO Stewart Firehawk but heck it beats the heck out of one of my clients 150" Elitech Csreen



Thank god. I've seen so many good prjectors that people just put up on a white wall.

Glad to hear you have some knowledge other than "I want it big."

Yeah a bunch of people might join but how many of them will just lurk in the background? I have been a member sense Apr 03 and have only posted like 50 posts. That's nothing considering i've been on this board sense about the start of it. In fact I more than likely never would have posted at all if the Bounty Hunter Han ran into never came into question. I wonder how many other people come here on a daily basis and never post?
