Yep, guess what Star Wars fans, Lucas is going to release the Star Wars trilogy on November 21st. These will be the Digitally enhanced versions and a behind the scenes making of Episode II and some home interviews. But here's the kicker, it's going to be released on VHS! What a crock o #$%$! How many versions of the same damn movies do we need. It seems to this inmate,wheres my straightjacket, that he's totally putting off the DVD version behind excuses of, I don't have the time! Well he's had the time to put out the Phantom menace on vhs and a Laser disc of it as well as the new,newer,newest, version of the old stuff. How many versions does he plan to milk anyway? Sorry about the rant but his attitude or greed or whatever is irritating towards DVD, the only way to see these movies properly. Here's the link to the site where my wife found out the info.

Time to see the nurse for my PRN,(MEDS)!

... to out perform LDs. They minimized banding (posterization). They reduced jitter (picture jumping). Now, they just have to tackle frame dropping (strobing), edging that doesn't look stairs (aliasing) & temporal synchronization of audio & video. Once they get it fixed I'll buy a DVD player too. Right now they still look like GIF movies, IMHO. Although, I've yet to see a CAL CL-25. I almost saw a CL-20 down at CSA Audio but although it was hooked up, they weren't playing it that day in their empty store.
I am not quite sure which players you have been looking at or
what DVD's.The Cals are pretty good! I owned a CL-20 and moded the audio
section, which made it pretty competitive with the most expensive
cd sepereates out there if not better than most.I got sick and tired of the reliability issues and after discussing
improvements in technology of IC chips, from a friend who did
the mods and keeps up on this stuff, I decided to buy a Marantz
DVD 18 THX model. Half the retail price and I got a sweet deal
on a Refurb. Did a few basic mods myself based on his suggestions.Picture on it dusts the Cal, it is not even close. Sound was as
good stock as the Cal except it was a little closed in and rolled
off. Bass was better and the midrange more even. With about 50.00
in parts etc the thing clobbered my modded Cal which was a good
bit better sonically than the standard CAL. None of these mods
had any effect on the picture, but they weren't intended too.So check out the latest top o the line Pioneers and Marantz DVD's
the Toshiba's are also pretty good.Happy watching,
James W.
What reliability issues with CL-20s? Just wondering, I own a CL-10.Have been viewing top of the line Marantz DVD players, but was hoping to check-out the CL-25 multi-video engines for improvement.
....just my 2¢

Have you seen any DVD's lately? I'm not talking about 1-2 in a store demo either. Just like CD's, DVD mastering quality varies among titles and studios.I stopped into Best Buy the other day. They now devote 85% of the movie floor space to DVD. DVD is here to stay. Decent DVD players are below $300.
With all your LD talk, I'm suprised you don't listen to music via vinyl.

I would but a good TT just cost too damn much. I keep hoping that SACD will cure this for me.DVDs still look like network's rebroadcast of Stargate SG-1 to me. I constantly get distracted by the perception of moving pixels instead of moving pictures like a GIF files. & complete frame dropage which is extremely annoying. I agree with you that DVDs are here to stay. It just looks to me like the way original CD players sounded. I'm sure they'll eventually correct them. BTW, I agree some DVDs are just coasters. I'm not talking about those. Right now the biggest flaw are the expansion rates which makes me wonder what the CL-25 looks like with it's redundant parallel processing.
I'm still irritated at Lucas for changing the scene in Star Wars to have Greedo shoot first.
But he left in Mark Hamill's blooper at the end where he calls out: "Carrie!" (not "Leia").
They both seem to have such a bizarre relationship with dvd and their releases. It just doesn't make much sense but it is clearly the greed factor operating. Some dvd store rental owner suggested to me that Spielberg is waiting for the dvd machine base to top 10million before he enters with some of his favorites. Given that he's finally putting out Jurassic Park/Lost World this fall, maybe they'll be some more action forthcoming. Seems ridiculous to me given the kind of money that they both have at this point. If it is some ego thing (won't release my movie "X" until I know this isn't just a passing fad...or I have to make sure that the public really knows how lucky they are) it is even worse.
Where's the Godfather Trilogy on DVD???
Tom §.
Now there's a movie series I'd LOVE to see. The Godfather trilogy was/is an excellent movie(s)!

Greed and Stupidity are equally staggering.
