Pictures of your HD DVD collection - Page 3

I never owned a Divx player. I bought that disc for $.99 when they were clearing them out years ago. I wanted a trophy from the format war.

Bad camera phone!

Ditto!

Gotta love those custom covers!

-Murray

Those custom covers ROCK.

DeathStalker2, any chance you can be so kind as to post a link to those custom covers? Or as an attachment?

I just need that Superman Returns cover, since the actual cover is so "ughn".

thank god for netflix!

Sure thing. You can grab them all HERE. Just go to the downloads section.

Take care

Hello I'm new here and thought i would jump on the bandwagon and post a pick of my hd dvd collection. I am so addicted to high def planet earth is my favorite so far. I geting the matrix wed or thursday and can't wait to marathon it.

Is that how the matrix set comes in the complete set. a case for each like the mission impossible box did. Hope so. i display the box on a shelf and put the movies on my rack.

Here's me:

From the other side of the Atlantic:

Items of note:
Superman Returns Non-combo.
French Studio Canal releases (e.g Rambo etc.)
UK Universal HD DVD covers, all silver and wider than regular covers.
UK ratings logos on the covers, though the discs are exactly the same as their north american equivalents.
DVE with PAL DVD-flipside (UK edition)
of course the Japanese Toshiba imports to the left.



Region-free HD DVD makes BR a no-no for us Eurotrash.

added to my collection

Here's my huge collection

My humble HD DVD collection. I've added quite a number of HD DVD titles since.

My collection (few more should arrive tomorrow):



[edit]

Whoops, forgot Batman Begins. I didn't have it sitting with the rest of them and it slipped my mind.

I am not buying anymore HD discs until I get a new TV... LNT-4066....

Are those the Spiderman 3 BD sampler discs?? Shame on you! You took 3 and you don't even have a BD player!

Non-U.S. covers are always so much better. I'll never understand it.

My collection

Also have A Scanner Darkly but that is being borrowed now.

Is Stalingrad what I think it is?

With Jude law?! Where do I get it?

and hows the AQ and PQ?

I have that one! You are correct Enemy at the Gates with Jude Law.

Forgot : I thought the picture and sound were good.

Yup, "Stalingrad" is Enemy at the Gates. The french retitling to Stalingrad makes it a bit confusing, as there's a well known (in Europe) german 1993 movie by the same name.

It's a french import, ordered at Amazon France, but for US buyers I'd recommend
Exploited Cinema. Note that these titles issued by Pathé don't play in first generation Toshibas. Played fine on my Euro HD-E1 (same as the american A2).

The video is VC-1 encoded, retaining the natural grain. I felt there was a moderate- to high level of detail, but just missing that last bit of sharpness. Audio is English 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio and was boomy and involving, but my system isn't up to snuff so I won't be held responsible for differing views on this. Also, this release is 1.78:1 while the DVD was 2.35:1. It has been claimed that the HD DVD is open-matte, but I can not corroborate this. The framing seemed fine to me though. Perhaps the only downside to this import is that all on-screen captions are in french (not player generated), so some Russian newspaper headlines leave you guessing (unless you read french, but who does? :-) All other subtitles can be turned off, no forced subs here. Menus in french only.

Oh, have to get this off my chest:

I really dislike how the french consistently place the spine text up-side down. They do this with DVDs and VHS as well. Wonder about books? Hmmm...

Haha!! Gosh, I just noticed that. Must be a slow morning for me.

Hey, can anyone give a noob a quick tutorial on how to insert a pic? I'm mystified as to what I do with this prompt that comes up when I hit the 'insert picture' button. Thanks in advance, and apologies for my ignorance.
