Sorry am confused on the FAQ above... where does LPCM fit in this??
"HDMI PCM Mode: Dolby TrueHD/DTS-HD MA/Multich PCM ---> PS3/BDP [DECODER**] ---> Multich PCM ---> AVR [DAC-AMP] ---> Speakers (Lossless)" Previously I asked in v10 thread: "Thanks much. Excuse me if this is a bit off topic but the quality will still depend on the sampling rate of LPCM, DTS-HD and Dolby TrueHD or is that standardised and understood?" |

QUOTE(sKyWiR3pT3lTd @ Jan 28 2011, 01:18 AM) If you not had enough with classics like The Sound Of Music , then checkout Blade Runner. Besides the alternate endings that I heard, is there any difference in PQ and AQ getting the single disc version?Try getting the 5 disc Collector's edition. Its a must have classic.. |

QUOTE(dariofoo @ Jan 28 2011, 03:06 PM) The 5-disc edition has FIVE versions of the movie - the "Domestic Cut," the "International Version," the "Director's Cut" the "Workprint" and the "Final Cut". QUOTE(dirtrun @ Jan 28 2011, 10:09 PM) I guess.. Do you guys suggest getting the 5 disc or single disc version for one who never seen the show?If u r a fan of tis cult mv.. thn tis is d ultimate ed to get.. To be fair.. tis is one of d most outstandin re master of an ol movie.. to me its even better than 2001.. u really nid to see it to believe tat its such an old relaease.. Cheers D I heard a lot of good for Bladerunner and 5th Element. But when I saw 5th element I thought the story sucks though PQ and special effects were impressive. Is the Bladerunner storyline good?

QUOTE(Ares187 @ Jan 29 2011, 11:29 AM) BD technology is a good successor to LD as VCD and DVD was never a good replacement for LD . The PQ and AQ of a BD is definitely better than a LD . I enjoyed watching LD during the 90`s but the BD technology is exciting and access to movies are more than then time LD `s was the technology .Unfortunately during that time we had the LD player the LD `s were so expensive and we were only able to rent them. The size of the LD was also huge and was prone to damage . I hated flipping the disc to watch the 2nd part of the movie as sometimes the movies are long and needed more space . Bd`s resolved many of the issue that LD`s had . I prefer BD`s anytime over LD`s . Not sure if LD was better than DVD as LD was analogue? The huge size was really a turn off.In any case CRT were not that big in the past to be able to see that much details so my memory may be fuzzy.

Sly is one of the best known action stars back in the 80s... nobody tops him; maybe Schwarzenegger came close. Apart from his other great action flicks, Cop Land is one of his better dramas in the late 90s. Haha knew this and he is forever haunted by this But nothing tops this; my first movie of Sly... before he became popular with action flicks: » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «  Ditto for HK star Shu Qi Funny no one mention Rambo Actually not bad for a pawn star to be successful with 2 alias Rocky and RamboAnyway just some interesting snippets on Raspberry award which mentions Expendables: » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « This post has been edited by specuvestor: Jan 31 2011, 01:05 PM |

QUOTE(maskedchan @ Feb 7 2011, 10:18 AM) last nite finish watch airbender... Most people comment that you will only appreciate Airbender if you saw the cartoons. Have you watched it before?wondering why the western and almost all ppl say this movie sucks.. i totally not agree with it. i very enjoy watching this movie. if compare with narnia i rather watch this.. PQ are great almost all the time.. just when there on the pond trying to kill the spirit, i notice the black level is not equal. not sure intended or what.. other than that, is good all the time... AQ are excellent. reference quality i would say. without this AQ this movie not much enjoyable. surround is lively all the time. nicely done for the AQ especially on the bass and surround. really looking forward for 2nd episode But from movie making perspective already failed if you can't tell a story without assuming the audience had background knowledge... Also one of the top Raspberry award winner  http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=39714634 This post has been edited by specuvestor: Feb 7 2011, 12:01 PM |

I think the bit rate for pirated are "starved" because they use 25GB disc?? Usually AQ is not starved as less demanding
Any reason why they can't use 50GB disc? Cost or some special process for 50GB disc? |

QUOTE(fadthil @ Feb 18 2011, 08:56 PM) well it's ok, worth the wait for a remaster... and can save budget for another year. nway the dvd can suffice for now if really want 2 watch... agree.... rather wait for the better version and save money & disappointment.. just like LOTR trilogy... Not as if it's a new show  Releases that underutilise BD capability is unforgiveable  I think it should be mandatory to put on the BD box 1) whether it is remastered 2) year of remasteringThis post has been edited by specuvestor: Feb 19 2011, 04:26 PM |

QUOTE(anfieldude @ Feb 19 2011, 04:39 PM) spec, Sorry to confuse you with the rant. Was talking in general for some sub par BD release including LOTR. 2 topics altogether I'm a little confused, r u talking abt the Lethal Weapon Collection? Was tempted to get the Lethal Weapon set as price reasonable but AVS forum seemed to suggest it can be better if remastered. Sometimes don't understand why they can't just do a Sound of Music for all remasters. Seems like Universal releases are main culprits. |

Oh man... means my rant not gonna end soon
 It should not be consumers having to dig up all the reviews and forums and find out what is the best for them when the studios don't give enough information about their product QUOTE(specuvestor @ Feb 19 2011, 11:50 PM) Sometimes don't understand why they can't just do a Sound of Music for all remasters.

Is it worth the upgrade??QUOTE(Andrewtst @ Mar 11 2011, 12:01 AM) [*]The Close Encounter of the Third Kind - Beginning until middle still ok, quite interesting, once it step in where the actor like crazy human building that mountain, ok la.. I dislike it already, and the ending using that few notes to communicate looks stupid to me, sorry this not my type of Sci-Fi movie and I think this the only Steven Spielberg movie I dislike. Agree. Ditto with 2001 Space Odyssey. Both with good beginnings and end like crap.This post has been edited by specuvestor: Mar 11 2011, 11:43 AM |

QUOTE(faidzal1982 @ Mar 11 2011, 03:28 PM) me too interested in d mv itself... but LOTR will be an exception... going to get the extended edition for this one... yup I think I was the one i remember last time somebody warn me to wait for the extended edition... but... But will still wait for the review and see if there is any improvement on the transfers in the EE. The Hobbit is coming out soon... so quadrilogy.... but I may not be a good ref as I am cheapskate and only get after at least 6 months later when prices collapse  QUOTE(sKyWiR3pT3lTd @ Mar 11 2011, 01:03 PM) The 3 Disc edition is perfect enough..unless you wanna splash out cash..
