Dusty Chalk Posted June 11, 2009 Report Posted June 11, 2009 Yeah, South Park needs to be released on Blu-Ray.
mirumu Posted June 11, 2009 Report Posted June 11, 2009 South Park season 12 is out on Blu-ray I believe. Not sure what their plans are when it comes to releasing the earlier seasons.
swt61 Posted June 11, 2009 Report Posted June 11, 2009 Dark Knight does seem a good choice. Blade Runner would be kind of cool to have also.
Dusty Chalk Posted June 11, 2009 Report Posted June 11, 2009 And I'm thinking Star Trek when it comes out, if they get the transfer right.
Fitz Posted June 11, 2009 Report Posted June 11, 2009 Alright now that I have my TV sitting much closer I went and watched GITS SAC 2nd Gig: Individual Eleven, specifically paying attention to image flaws. I only saw a faint amount of color banding in a couple scenes, but the mosquito noise was very noticable nearly all the time, and by far was the biggest flaw in the video quality. I wonder if there are any decent region-free players that have mosquito noise reduction; eventually I would certainly like to see high quality productions like GITS SAC on Blu-Ray (and I mean a proper release, not just an upconverted DVD as I heard the Yukikaze release was...), but some good noise reduction would probably do wonders for all the DVDs I already own many of which I either wouldn't want to buy again or won't get released on Blu-Ray anyways.
penger Posted June 11, 2009 Report Posted June 11, 2009 THOR Anime is a good place to look for some bluray as source encodes. Not all of their stuff is, but a lot of the recent stuff is. Might be worth taking a look if you're interested. They actually have Eva 1.11 which was mentioned by mirumu.

mirumu Posted June 11, 2009 Report Posted June 11, 2009 on that note, whens the new movie coming out June 27 in Japan. I'm not aware of it being licensed for an English language version as of yet, but it seems inevitable it'll happen sometime.
swt61 Posted June 16, 2009 Report Posted June 16, 2009 Well the Oppo BDP-83 is due to arrive Friday, as is the 5.1 inwall speaker set and Yamaha 5.1 receiver. Today I placed the order for the Panasonic VIERA TC-P50G10 50" Plasma. That should arrive within two weeks. That should give me time to mount the speakers, pull the wires through the walls etc... I ended up finding the Panasonic for $1,394.00. A pretty good bargain considering shipping was included. It won't be long now until I'm enjoying some great Blu-ray playback!
Dusty Chalk Posted June 16, 2009 Report Posted June 16, 2009 Porn doesn't come on Blu-Ray. You'll have to get a nice line doubler for that.
Hopstretch Posted June 16, 2009 Author Report Posted June 16, 2009 Porn doesn't come on Blu-Ray. Considerably incorrect.
manaox2 Posted June 16, 2009 Report Posted June 16, 2009 Considerably incorrect. Arr, thar be Pirates 2 at ye local Blockbuster.
Dusty Chalk Posted June 16, 2009 Report Posted June 16, 2009 Really? I thought Sony had a thing against it. Never mind. EDIT: Well, at least I'm remembering it correctly -- link -- they (adult film industry) must've found a way around it...which if I had thought about it for two seconds, I probably could have predicted.
swt61 Posted June 21, 2009 Report Posted June 21, 2009 The Oppo arrived. Quality looking unit, but without a TV as of yet that's all I can say for now. I had HD Satellite installed yesterday, and I'm building some wall boxes for the speakers tomorrow. Will most likely get Tivo HD soon too. Soon, very soon.
emelius Posted June 21, 2009 Report Posted June 21, 2009 mine's been in its box for well over a month now...i'm not gonna tell my dad how much it cost...but i am gonna stay to watch Gran Turino...
swt61 Posted June 21, 2009 Report Posted June 21, 2009 The packaging was quite impressive, and I thought the test disc was a nice touch.
emelius Posted June 22, 2009 Report Posted June 22, 2009 ditto on the packaging... was easy to setup for dad 'til we got to the test disc...that looks like it'll take some time/patience...he wanted to watch the U.S. Open & a couple of the three auto races so i didn't get to see Gran Torino (i can spell now)...maybe some other time... i see NAD's got a new blu-ray player for over twice the price of the OPPO...i have a hard time believing it's any better...

Have not had much time to really research it, but the little bit I have read about it on other forums, it is supposed to be a serious competitor to Tivo. http://www.moxi.com/us/tivo_vs_moxi.html

MOXI - TiVo vs MOXI It states it does not work with satelite TV, and I have Dish Network.
blessingx Posted June 24, 2009 Report Posted June 24, 2009 swt61, or anyone else, have any thoughts of this for use as SACD player now and Blu-ray player for some point in the future? Also if you can navigate without TV connection (at least after initial setup)? Anyone got a feel for the internal DAC yet (though I see you can output DSD or converted PCM signal)? Received my "priority ordering" email this morning.
ronnielee54 Posted June 24, 2009 Report Posted June 24, 2009 It states it does not work with satelite TV, and I have Dish Network. Sorry, my bad. As I said, I really have not had the time to research it much. Did not know it was for cable only.

Also if you can navigate without TV connection (at least after initial setup)? Anyone got a feel for the internal DAC yet (though I see you can output DSD or converted PCM signal)? Received my "priority ordering" email this morning. I've not even powered it up yet. My plasma TV should be here soon, and I'll put it through the paces then. I definitely will try it as an SACD player, but probably not until my Beta22 is back in my system. By then I may also have the Buffalo32 DAC as well. Sorry, my bad. As I said, I really have not had the time to research it much. Did not know it was for cable only. No problem. It looked promising until I read the last part. I guess all of the HD units replace the satelite HD receivers? Is there an HD DVR that just loops through like an old VCR?
soloz2 Posted June 25, 2009 Report Posted June 25, 2009 I've played a few SACD on mine. A few played fine, but the last disc I tried, playback had pops. Can't remember the title of the disc (only the album art) and everything is boxed up for moving.

Is there an HD DVR that just loops through like an old VCR? I know a couple of people that are using computers with hd capture cards. EDIT: One of them just walked in. The computer with capture card idea works with over-the-air transmissions. It looks like you are locked into Dish networks equipment.
freckling Posted June 26, 2009 Report Posted June 26, 2009 swt61, which Yamaha receiver did you end up buying? and wow, you certainly didn't mess around with your first HD experience. You jumped in with both feet
