This is true. I think Sunshine was BD+ if I recall. The movie totally sucked by the way :)

SlySoft's AnyDVD HD is fantastic. They publish updates very frequently and it makes all my expensive hardware and Blu-Ray (and a few HD DVDs) that I Bought fair and square work flawlessly. I'll eventually get an HDCP capable card and projector but until then it's a godsend. I've received a...

Well I got around to installing SlySoft AnyDVD HD. This little gem is a godsend. All the stupid workarounds I've been trying just to watch DVDs we already own are now no longer necessary - I can now use PowerDVD for both BluRay/HDDVD and DVD and not have a complicated sequence of workarounds...

It certainly is!

The exact opposite IS what I'm doing :) I guess I didn't explain very well. Anyhoo yeah I agree 100% the computer should do a much better job of scaling - and does. We noted a marked improvement with Nero Showtime scaling up to 720p on the few DVDs we've watched so far. The problem...

The reason I want to keep the resolution fixed is because the nVidia driver for some reason doesn't allow adjusting the display (size/position) at the lowest resolution (720x480) and when fed to my projector the display is slightly off (not much but enough to be annoying). None of the other...

I found something else new - PowerDVD Ultra isn't the greatest for DVDs. It forces the resolution down to 720x480, the aspect ratio is slightly off, and it doesn't completely use the entire screen (almost but not quite). A great solution is Nero Showtime as it allows any resolution and almost...

That's good info thanks! Right now I'm using the component feed anyway but it's good to know I can use my otherwise superb video card with a 1080P HDMI projector (next Christmas...?)

PowerDVD Ultra had problems with "Enemy of the State" on Blu-Ray initially for some reason, but after a few restarts (of PowerDVD not the PC) it just fixed itself. So it's not perfectly bug free, but that's the only frustration from PowerDVD itself so far. One thing I don't like about the...

We decided to get this drive for our home theatre PC and I'm very pleased with our decision over a standalone player. It came bundled with CyberLink DVD Ultra that worked fine out of the box. We only have a 720P projector but still the picture is fantastic. I'm not crazy about the CyberLink...

I'm doing something similar with my other hardware. I have a really really good Sony SVHS deck with lots of inputs that I've been using as a video switcher. It also has a good (reasonably powerful) CH3/4 modulator that sends the selected signal to the rest of the TVs in the house (we're only...

Now that I'm in the process of adding a new dish (fixed for now but may motorize it) I'm finding the CW600S Premium receiver LNB switching odd; so much so that I have trouble trusting it is actually doing what I've set it to do. Here's the scenario: Motorized Fortec 90cm w/QPH-031 on LNB1...

HD ready here. I have an HD projector in the home theatre and plan on getting a Blu-Ray player when the prices come down a bit. The DVB world HD box that PSB mentions is a possibility for me as well.

Yeah I know it's overkill if I don't motorize the 1m dish (if I don't it will be fixed at G10R) but I've had such stellar results with the one on my 90cm dish especially considering I'm brushing the top of some trees that are in the way. If cost isn't a consideration, any recommendations on the...

The QPH-031 rocks. It is far superior to the el-cheapo that came with my 1m Gospell dish that I'm still trying to peak on G10R with no success. I'm thinking of replacing it with (another) QPH-031 even if it is way more expensive.
