Hi all, Can anyone with an HDTV setup let us know how you watch '1999'? Do you use an "upconvert" DVD player? Blu-ray player? Regular DVD player? Any special ...
Dear Robert Once again I am touched beyond measure that you've so cleverly reproduced my letter on the Con website. It means that it reaches everyone...
Video has its advantages. On DVD I often have a page come up with some gibberish about and fbi warning and when I go to fast forward past it I get a little...

I had (until the early 1990s) a copy, of a copy of a broadcast from somewhere down south (probably London) of Death's Other Dominion. During the scene when...

Hi Anthony. Just a technical detail first. All HDTVs upconvert standard definition pictures (480i or 480p, if your DVD is a progressive scan player) to the...
Tom: Thanks for the info. I too watch in the original aspect ratio - so no stretching (for the most part ... I have the DVD setup for progressive scan - so I...
