Anacondas the hunt for the blood orchid part 3

You get some really nice sound on those discs. Not necessarily if youre just downloading the movie that sounds just about right. Usually they rip all of the other BS out of it trailers, extras, FBI warnings it always makes me laugh when they leave the Piracy advertisements in it though. I just downloaded the 1080p mkv version of Avatar it was a little over 10gb in size it plays perfectly on my PS You guys do all know that chapter skip works on all of those previews and everything right? I can even skip the FBI warnings and the Your going to HELL you dirty pirate! warnings with my player. I cant press menu and get right to the menu but at least Im not waiting 20 minutes to get to it. Better than nothing. Thats the way it is, and no need to attack or question anothers opinion on this subject. Granted, in retrospect my comment was slightly more acerbic than necessary. Still, even for the least AV sensitive, I challenge anyone with a tiny HD set replete with crappy speakers to the 2001 BD vs. DVD Comparison. Several Kubrick movies use crazy color filters and audio which simply could not be conveyed using DVD coding. The difference is striking, as is the movie on BD. OK Im done writing like a Bluray evangelist. Look at the sales figures. Even with DRM and all the adverts the sales are through the roof. Proof that piracy doesnt hurt a thing. Release of crappy sloppily made movies is what hurts sales. If this is the case, why did you waste all that money on HD and BD equipment? BD is an order of magnitude better quality over DVD; Im guessing that in your case, something aint set up correctly or you would see it, too. Of course, it also could be that your sitting 20 away from the set, in which case it wont make much difference and kinda defeats the whole purpose. Then again, maybe youre one of those people who cant see Magic Eye 3D stereograms, either. Of course, I have had to fix the configuration of several friends TVs and players because they didnt have them set correctly and were disappointed with HD and/or BD quality. They were each pleasantly blown away once I corrected the settings, though. Did I miss something? My Avatar BluRay goes straight into the menu without a bunch of unskippable crap that ALL my other BluRay movies make me watch. I was actually pretty surprised to see that! OR you just want to believe that Blu-ray is so fantastic that it will BLOW EVERYONE AWAY!! Yes the picture is a little sharper, sure, but it isnt mind blowing. How exactly do you measure an order of magnitude by the way? To me it is slightly better than DVD, nothing to write home about and not worth the premium in my books. And please dont patronize me Mr. A/V God. I understand how to hookup components and fiddle with settings on a TV thank you very much. Just because I dont see what the big deal is with the hype behind Blu-ray doesnt mean Im a noob. 55 set, couch is 12 away.
