Real Review - For Love of the Game HD DVD (Net News Publisher)

Sat, 05 Jul 2008 19:03:17 GMT

... though, my favorite Costner baseball film remains Bull Durham. I watched For Love of the Game on HD DVD disc and found the PQ to be good with lots of details and nice colors.

I listened to the Dolby TrueHD track, and, as could be expected with this dialogue-heavy film, my front speakers got the most...

Will DVD be inheriting HD DVD's web features? (AfterDawn.com)

Thu, 03 Jul 2008 17:15:41 GMT

As the primary backer of HD DVD , Toshiba spent a lot of money developing technology that they didn't get a lot of use out of. Some features from HD DVD players, like upscaling , fit nicely into standard DVD players. Others, like web-enabled content, aren't quite as applicable. Sure you could put the same capabilities into a DVD player, but with no official standard you'd be hard pressed to get anyone...

Thu, 03 Jul 2008 16:19:25 GMT

On June 11 the DVD Forum 's Steering Committee met for the second time this year. Their biannual meetings usually result in boring discussions about bureaucratic matters, but not so this time around.

How to get a full picture when watching HD DVD on plasma? (TVs)

Mon, 30 Jun 2008 02:07:00 GMT

May be... If the HD DVD you bought says wide-screen on the box, then you got what you paid for. Most DVDs do not have both full frame (ie 4x3 1.33) and wide-screen (16x9 2.40, 2.35, etc) on them because it takes up too much space on the disc and the bitrates would suffer. Some studios make both the widescreen and full frame available to consumers for SD DVD not but not for HD DVD (or the Blu-Ray for...
