It's clear the BD-Live network is, at the very least, a work in progress. It's incredibly frustrating to access; I would have expected better of Disney after all the hoopla they raised to promote the damn feature in the first place. The website is not accepting existing accounts - I had to go throug...

Well, Roadside Romeo 's Diwali release is almost here - about a week and a half actually, on October 24. There's a ton of stuff to sift through at the official website , including trailers, promos, character bios, a substantial photo gallery, etc. Despite it being a rather generic story, the film's ...

No, Sleeping Beauty did not have 7.1 channels originally. Neither have you seen (or heard) the Blu-ray. To be fair, not even I have heard the full 7.1 mix, as I have a 5.1 system. But even on the latter, the film sounds superb. And like I said, the uncompressed sound really makes a difference.

That bluray.com article didn't seem to be all that informational... if they're showing a "then and now" using some pan-and-scan copy they obviously don't know what they're doing as there have been several widescreen releases. And they make the DEHT mixes sound like a good thing. Ugh. Well...

I think aside from the Platinum Edition line (which is going to take ages to go through all over again... *sob!*), I'd love to see Lilo & Stitch and The Rescuers Down Under on BD. Why the latter? I really like the adventurous story, actually. It's the only worthwhile Disney sequel ever produced....

Sleeping Beauty & Grand Canyon: BD versus DVD screencaps

Several here have expressed curiosity over the image quality of the Sleeping Beauty 's Blu-ray Disc as compared to the new Platinum Edition DVD, as well as the 2003 Special Edition release. To that end, I've taken several comparison shots of each edition at their native resolution (1920x1080p for th...

I have first hand knowledge of BR...Its NOT WORTH THE PRICE. Even if I could afford it, I rather buy another Pleo before I'd buy a BR. When the price comes down to a more realistic margin, I will support it. You know, you can buy a BD (not BR) player for less than $250 right now . And Christmas pro...

The ZonaDVD caps have too much JPEG compression to provide a real representation of the BD's quality. But they do give a general impression, I agree. :) I'm getting incredibly anxious to see Sleeping Beauty on Blu-ray!! Unfortunately Disney is being flaky with its screener copies - everyone I've spo...

I can post full resolution (1920x1080) screenshots of the Blu-ray Disc when I receive the screener for review. Since the DVD version comes with the BD, I can take comparison shots between the two as well. :) I don't know if anyone wants screenshots of the BD exclusive features in action. If someone ...
