The MPAA can say what they want, they can't reach me here

Okay, an there is the fact that I own over 300 DVDs with only the Star Wars DVDs and the Blade Runner Criterion LD as "boots" (and I own the originals to).

Okay. Just like the last test shot, I've gone ahead and added the DVD frame for comparison's sake. Sadly, I don't think this one goes as well for the X0 as the last one. This one gives a larger edge to the DVD version than the last one where clarity is concerned. But, the DVD is obviously red-pushed to a drastic extent. [/IMG]


Leia's hair (ponytail) looks more detailed in the laserdisc version.

I would prefer a letterboxed set, becaue resizing lowers the picture quality, and the anamorphic version really has no benefit in the case of a laserdisc source.


<Before we derail this thread>



I was asking a specific question and not reopening an anamorphic vs letterboxed discussion.

Why should apple give up their architechture? The real bottleneck on x86 systems are the chipsets, not the actual P4 (which is a RISC/CISC hybrid). The G5 is supposed to be way superior. But IBM can't deliver. There are heat problems and they can't go over 3ghz. So it's a good choice, since IBM has now more "important" customers as sony (ps3), microsoft (xbox 360) and nintendo (revolution).
The real fun will be 2005, when there is MacOSX 10.5 vs. Windows Longhorn.


I THINK YOU MEANT 2006.

There are quiete a few errors in my posting
(You should never type postings during your working time when you're on the phone at the same time )

10.5 will be released 2007 I think, since Jobs said that the last OSX versions where released to close to another.

Apple worked on cross-plattform versions of OSX for about 5 years as a safety net, so there won't be an emulated version of the os, but maybe for some of the apps. Some of the apps can be cross-compile with minor changes. And apple has a year time to optimize their main software apps for P4.

What can one say about this? I have no problems with this, as long my macs run stable, whatever chip is in it. But I don't think macs will get cheaper, because apple will still make their own logicboards with own chipsets. Apple won't leave their homogeneous architechture. If you can put every piece of crap into your mac, you'll need drivers for everything and you maschine only gets instable.

You're wrong (or maybe your dvd player). When encoding a dvd you can set markers where the dvd player has to zoom in if the 4:3 pan&scan option is activated. You can even define how much the dvd player will zoom into the picture.
