The disc is very good looking, but not blow-you-away good.

By the way, I havent tested the Samsungs standard DVD upconversion capability to any real degree yet.

This is easily the best quality Ive ever seen The Terminator looking before. The disc is very good looking, but not blow-you-away good. Some kind of wonderful trailer A big improvement. Crash and Lord of War have significantly improved clarity, crisp yet clean detail, vibrant theyre much more like what I expected Blu-ray Disc would look like. This is easily the best quality Ive ever seen The Terminator looking before. I keep hearing these comments both official and unofficial from Blu-ray execs saying that theyre leaving off the extras so they can give all the extra disc space over to the best video quality possible.

Sure, that Tosh HD-DVD player was a lemon until the firmware upgrade, but its worked like a charm since. Create a free website or blog at WordPress.com. About once a second, or maybe once every few seconds, the video seems to hesitate for just a instant a tiny fraction of a second.

Both are problems for this format that dont seem to be troubling HD-DVD at the moment at least not at first glance, based on the initial title offering. Fifth Element has a some kind of wonderful trailer trivia track, again from the standard DVD.

( Log Out /  Paramount released two trailers for Some Kind of Wonderful. Second, Im noticing a very slight studdering problem. its a little bit soft and gritty looking, but then its an older film and thats the nature of the film stock used. Now these two Lionsgate theyre much better looking. Its worth noting that weve only seen one player for each format, so its hard to say what issues are specifically related to the players, and what are some kind of wonderful trailer related. In any case, this is probably not the best title to test the video quality of Blu-ray Disc, so lets move on. Ive heard from more than a few industry sources that Blu-ray is having trouble getting the dual-layered BD media to work, which means that discs with lots of extras some kind of wonderful trailer good video quality arent an option now.

Which tells me that Blu-ray is having major disc space problems.

A 45 second teaser trailer (which appeared on the 1986 VHS release of Pretty In Pink), followed by the theatrical trailer at the movie's release.

Just FYI. Both have a more film-like image. Again, its not something Ive seen on any HD-DVD titles thus far. For the record, Terminator on Blu-ray has 7 deleted scenes and 2 featurettes, recycled from standard DVD. The HD-DVDs also have a LOT more extra features than the Blu-ray Discs even if you consider that most of the extras are recycled from standard DVD.
