Oddly enough, I did DVD authoring for a little school and the saddest thing was making a decent looking menu that got resolution-squashed in the final version, or loving up the pathing for NEXT BACK HOME on the select a chapter screen.. RIP Adobe Encore. First DVD I ever saw in the wild was Rush Hour, playing in a corner of Sam Goody's at CItywalk. I remember being pretty impressed at how sharp everything looked. First DVDs I owned were Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Deep Blue Sea (both gifted to us by a family member that had one of those Columbia House things). First actual purchase? As Good as it Gets.

tetrapyloctomy posted:While I'm sure it'll just be off of some master they have lying around, it would be kinda cool to see pure CGI movies get rendered out with what the artists would have liked to have done if they had the computing horsepower. If I remember correctly, they had a lot of trouble rendering wet hair the first time around. I usually feel like early CGI films have rigging or animation shortcomings more than render issues.

long-rear end nips Diane posted:edit: As an aside, I have an Xbox that plays UHD blu-rays now, is there any point to getting them if I still have a 1080p TV? There's an argument for getting UHD sets that have a Blu+Digital for future proofing, and maybe because the code redemption will pop the UHD version into your account.

Basebf555 posted:I'm starting to see some 2017 4k TV models priced at like $400-$500. Is that legit? You'll likely have slightly less HDMI ports, and a combo port for Composite/Component. The actual HDR scheme supported probs wont be Dolby Vision on the cheaper models, and they wont be as super bright as the more pricey models. I upgraded my curved Samsung last December due to a bad backlighting panel, and the new one had HDR and a way better menu system.

Basebf555 posted:I know generally how important HDR is but you're saying that the brightness would be different on a cheaper model. Like, enough of a difference that it's worth spending hundreds of dollars more? The Dolby cert needs a minimum threshold of brightness/nits/whatevs, but I have a 2017 model Samsung and the thing is plenty loving bright for my living room. Havent noticed any lag with my game consoles either, though I did need some tweaking to get the HDR looking right the first few days. I totally would have spent $1200 to get a 75" tv, but I needed something I could pay off in a few months. HDR is what replaced 3D as a feature, but now they're moving towards OLED/Q/XLed for richer blacks, and they quickly realized it's hard to see the benefits of HDR without a reference picture so making it a big item feature wasnt working.

From Coupons, Creepshow 2 Blu for $5 Also, my work is getting a pair of OLED 4K TVs next week. I have to set them up with the soundbar/UHD Bluray accessories, so what's a good reference disc? I think the HDR standard is Coco(?) but I already have a blu copy of that. Maybe T2 or Predator??

Spatulater bro! posted:I basically have three options. Buy a 75" LCD (sacrifice picture quality), buy a 65" OLED (sacrifice size), or wait 2 or 3 years until OLEDs are more reasonably priced and get a 75" OLED. What would ya'll do? I know the 10 extra inches would be immersive or whatever, but that's about $1000 cheaper than the amazon price for the set.

Never thought Christine would benefit from 4k, what with it being 70s King that isn't Carrie and all. 2001 would be pretty sumptuous though. I'd really like to get my hands on some noir/b&w stuff in 4k. Casablanca? What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? Twilight Zone remasters? They'd look spectacular.

CPL593H posted:How did they compare to blu-ray? From memory: HdDVD supported Dolby TrueHD audio (or whatever that was called). All players were capable of firmware updates through internet or usb, though I remember the players being short on memory so they ran a little slow. All discs supported pop-up menus. Overall storage capacity was less than Blus, but Dual Layer HDdvds would have solved that -- they were announced before the format died, though. BR Players were a goddamn mess, and the discs werent much better. Menu button dropped you back to the main screen like DVDs, iirc. FilthyImp fucked around with this message at 22:37 on Dec 8, 2018 |

CPL593H posted:People say this, but why ruin the movie to prevent the sequels when you can just not watch them? And anyway it's not like the studio would just not make more of them if they'd really wanted to.  What if we can't stop it. What if that sappy ending gets changed to something totally bitching and open ended?  In three years, Paramount Pictures become the largest supplier of Terminator related media. All Sci-Fi and Anime robots are upgraded with Terminator aesthetics, becoming fully unoriginal. Afterwards, chrome killer robots dominate pop-culture with a perfect operational record. The Skynet Funding Bill is passed. The franchise goes online on July 2nd, 2003. Human input is removed from subsequent decisions. Skynet begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 2:14 AM, Eastern time, August 29th. In a panic, they release Terminator Genisys. FilthyImp fucked around with this message at 22:23 on Dec 15, 2018 |
