High Definition Optical Discs (Blu-ray and HD DVD)
Am I the only person that thought the PS3 already supported Bitstreaming? I think it’s rather humerous that Sony (the creators of the Blu-ray format) had not yet done so on their rather pricey flagship blu-ray player, go figure. EngadgetHD Now we hear that the fatboy gone slim supports Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio bitstream output to your […]
Read moreIf you’ve been seeing the recent press surrounding the recent court rulings against Real Networks and Kaleidescape and wondering just what’s going on, you’re in luck as Julie has you covered.

Read moreNot quite as many selections to choose from this week but still some quality releases this week. If you haven’t seen the Tyson documentary and are any sort of boxing fan, you have to check it out. It’s heartfelt and shows a different side of the man, as well as showing some clips of his boxing throughout his career. I’m […]

Well, AnyDVD can I guess breathe a sigh of relief that they are still in a class of their own for "backing up" your movies to your computer, as the case against Real Networks for their RealDVD-copying software has been finalized and forbids them from selling it. It’s just a shame really given how slow digital copy has progressed…maybe we’ll […]
Read moreAm I the only one who thought all Marvell made were the networking chips on motherboards? Well, apparantly they do a whole lot more and has developed a technology that’s supposed to make your movie picture quality so much better. I’m a bit skeptical, but who can blame them for trying. HDTV Magazine The HD test disk has been designed […]
Read moreI initially shrugged this report off, but then I thought about what’s occurred just in the last year and the progress that Blu-ray has already made. It’s the clear winner in the HD format with no competition, sure, but more importantly there has finally been released a sub-$100 blu-ray player from Wal-mart putting the players at a price point attractive […]
Read moreAn interesting look at the top Blu-ray releases this year, not necessarily by sales but what an author from High Def Digest feels are the best in general. Some quality picks here and you could do far worse than any of these. Watchmen is still on my list of must haves although I do agree with his comments. High Def […]
Read moreI think the only surprise at this point with this announcement is that it has taken them so long to announce this. In the meantime, they have lost a ton of ground in the space, with new players such as Magnavox and Vizio lining up low cost players to compete with the current high end.
