Pitch Issue
I have been asked by several posters to include information on the 'pitch issue' which seems to be limited to French Studio Canal releases. This issue is noticed by some more than others, but there is no doubt that there is a difference and this is most noticable when comparing the HD DVD to their Blu-ray or DVD counter-parts.

Titles which the issue have been noticed on include:
Basic Instinct
Elephant Man, The
Graduate, The
Mulholland Drive
Rambo: First Blood
Rambo: First Blood Part 2
Rambo III
Total Recall

This post has been edited by silencer: Aug 18 2007, 12:15 PM

Oh good thing u posted these things about region control..so here's my question. If I get the HD-DVD add-on from Djinn, will it play HD-DVD movies i purchase from Amazon? Is region control similar to that of the Blue-rays?
Thx in advance!

Nope..not like Bluray..it is region free...u can play any HD-DVD...even if u import it from planet Mars.....

if u see tht amazon warns u about region 1 discs when ordering hd dvd, its probably cos ur ordering a combo hd, and the dvd side of it is region 1 coded. just some info for the uninitiated.

silencer: 300 pq was ok to me. just finished watching extras...but i think forgot to set to 1080p b4 watching...shud get slightly crisper pic if set to 1080p b4 playing the movie.

will be playing hot fuzz in a few minutes. cant wait to check out the 5/5 disc!!

I watched it at 1080p....hate that grainy effects.....try compare it with hot fuzz....

how is the quality of the movie on samsung lcd bordeauxplus tv?will it make a difference on the tv when watching through between xbox/ps3 and a dvd/hddvd player by itself?

as long the lcd resolution support 720p, 1080i or 1080p...it will make huge of different...

sigh... now i really crave for a hd dvd player.....

was just wondering, have anyone bought a stand alone hd-dvd player from amazon? can we?

and have anyone bought the Xbox 360 HD DVD Player from amazon? is it better to get it from there? wonder can this work with an Asian console?

Waaah this thread sudah jadi pin-up girl liao ah? nice nice.



Yo bro. Thanks for the reply. Sorry been busy lately la ... no time to sembang sembang at LYN. Yea I meant whether the AVR would detect the audio source correctly if it was routed through a HDMI switcher.

Also, because I use a universal controller, I need the AVR to know e.g. that this HDMI signal comes from the DVD player and that HDMI signal comes from my cable TV. Otherwise, the universal controller won't switch to the corrent AVR input source. Hmmmm my system complicated la. Celaka betul.

I tak main calibration. Yea I guess if we calibrated our TV to be "perfect" (e.g. use those calibration tools), then no need to re-calibrate for different sources right? Or I misunderstood u?

The movie is like that .... artsy fartsy effects.

amazon doesn't ship hd-dvd players outside US. read the terms at amazon. also, you'd have problems with US voltage as I don't believe the SKU is universal voltage adapter.

amazon will not ship any electronic products to oversea...try getting it from e-bay, like what I did for my 360 HD-DVD add on.
xbox 360 HD DVD add on works with all region of xbox 360, with universal power output...u can plug it anywhere in this world.

Boss..different sources requires different calibrations....there is no "ONE" perfect or right setting....like in my situation, xbox 360, HD-DVD, DVD, and PC....with 4 different calibration settings..its a big problem with me if I only have one HDMI output from my AVR to my LCD TV....compared with my current setup...with each sources is output directly to my LCD TV..not a big deal...each sources input allow u to tweak the user setting for the video calibration...

Just ordered Matrix Trilogy and Hot Fuzz. Probably drop by The Curve later and see if there is anything new.

Anyone know is the Ultimate Avengers Movie was a Bluray exclusive?

I believe it is BD exclusive as it is produced by Lionsgate.....

bro...... i receive a letter from the ministry.... abt the confiscated goods........

next on my list....matrix trilogy! well in a few more months i guess.

silencer: yea 300 is supposed to be 'dirty' with grainy effects n whatnot, i personally like tht. oh and i watched hot fuzz n it was amazing! the colors!! the clarity!! the sound!!!!

the blacklisted policy is normally applied for more than two times offense...it seems like they have changed it for the first time offense...dudes....dont use your name anymore when importing media from oversea....they will scrutinized every single of it.....no more importing Po*n....
My advise..fakes an e-mail from those seller stating that it had sent wrong items.....as an answer to that ministry letter..and u r now..in the process of claiming the refunds.....use any necessary excuse as possible......

Aiseh. Was looking forward to do that. Looks like I'll have to resort to other means. Someone should run a local HD-DVD rental
