Movealong...

I have a package waiting for me at the post office but the earliest I'd be able to pick it up is Friday. Hopefully that's yours.

let us know. i doubt they made a new transfer though.

If they did, hell, even a non-anamorphic version would be better than the one from the laserdisc.

Just a question: why did you start out with AVI files? Why not MPG2?

I'd be willing to seed as well.

I'm tempted to get that one on hometheaterforum just to do this. With my luck, I'd be screwed when they decide to release it as I'm selling the laserdisc and I'm out $100.

Oh hell yeah. You lose half the picture. It's HORRIBLY cropped in the full-screen version.

Sure...hd is nice but if it's not in the proper aspect ratio, it's only slightly a step up.

Besides, those Voom channels are very rare. Few people have them.

BOTH Blu-Ray and HD-DVD? That's a little weird, isn't it? I would have thought that by that time one format would have demonstrated a clear lead on the other.

By when? The end of the year? At the moment, HD DVD is clearly in the lead with the sub-par Samsung player and discs that have come out.

WB hasn't announced ANY discs for BD as of yet. I'm all over the HD DVD version when it comes out.

If you don't care, then just get one of the bootlegs that are already out there.

I'd rather see it in the proper aspect ratio than not.

I wouldn't consider those bloopers. They're more like technical gaffes or something along those lines.

Nice. So does this mean it'll be a NTSC release and not a PAL release? Rik, is the PAL release from Australia time-compressed? And if so, does the KCOP have the correct running time?

Yes, it's sped up.

Looking forward to this.

Which is sped up? PAL? KCOP?

PAL is always sped up, obviously.

Dude...it's not a problem. I just couldn't understand why you blew up at me like that. If you'd like to discuss it further, please PM. I don't want anyone hating me THAT much.

It was an honest question. I really wasn't aware of anything significant being changed.

Several Wal-Marts are selling them for around $400-450.

I have zero interest in Blu-Ray. It's not really pushed back any more than they've already been mentioning. The Samsung player still comes out next week along with the first batch of discs.

I'm asking a PERFECTLY acceptable question?

What were the changes?!?!?!

They removed some technical bloopers such as the cobra's reflection in the safety glass and the metal track that the giant boulder rolls along.

I was aware of the Cobra reflection but I had never seen the metal track before.

Were there any other changes?

Thank you, btw, for answering the question I posed honestly. Apparently even mods have it out for me here.

uhhh....again.

I have ZERO idea what alterations were made so I'm not sure where your nasty attitude is coming from.

I could care less what you do or which projects you make. I'm just curious what you're talking about.

If you have trouble answering that, then I can't help you.

Thanks for understanding.

It was a serious question.

I'd like for you to answer it. If you can make such a ruckus about these supposed changes, you can surely list them here.

Check Wal-Mart. Different locations are pricing them differently. They've been seen close to $400.
