I am looking for a list of every currently available superbit DVD. Any help would be appreciated.

I find you can get most searches like this to work on amazon.com - just put in superbit as the search item.

Same thing with Imax, etc.

Speaking of IMAX, it seeems that most of them are in 4:3 aspect ratio. Since I've got a PJ now, I'd be interested in what IMAX DVDs folks could recommend as enjoyable or impressive that are in widescreen formats. Thanks!

Tim: Snag yourself the new widescreen version of SuperSpeedway. It was redone in 16x9 format and dts sound (the original was the regular IMAX 4x3 format and DD5.1).

Thanks, Kal, I'll check it out. The only other widescreen IMAX I could identify was "The Magic of Flight". Too bad all the space ones are "square".

Tim: The space ones are interesting too (if you like space-related topics). I have all 5 of those as well. The picture quality is generally pretty good....

For IMAX like documentarys check out Baraka on DVD (the anamorphic one, not the old one). I have about 160 DVD's and this is still the best looking live action one I've got. It was shot in 70mm.

While we're on the subject - anyone heard if there are going to be any PAL superbit releases? Release dates, titles etc - anything?

IMAX is a 1.44:1 ratio format, so any "widescreen" versions of IMAX films on DVD (Super Speedway Mach II Special Edition) have been cropped in order to fit a widescreen (1.78:1) television.

Why are Superbit titles so bad? I mean they're limited in appeal. Ok CTHD but Johnny Moronic?

Flash 5 required, it's a no go showboat for WebTV. "When it comes to speed I'm just out of luck, I am even shutdown by the ice cream truck, she's just a no go showboat"...No Go Showboat~The Beach Boys

Originally posted by VideoGrabber I thought about buying the Space box set, but that seemed like a bit much at one go. Could you rank order the 5 space titles you have? I'd like to pick up one or two of the best.

Oh god, afraid I don't remember them discretely like that. They're all sort of the same really. Same content sort of. Which you'll like better is probably a matter of personal preference more then anything else. They were so cheap (roughly $15CAD) so I picked them all up.
