I have "Independence Day" but it is only widescreen with AC3 audio. Not a great movie IMHO so I'd gladly sell it but I gather from what you say that it is a special edition with DTS soundtrack that is valuable?Not trying to start an argument but I disagree with your comments about CRT. Maybe it depends upon the breed of CRT but I can get genuine film quality with the Barco projector (after a Barco VSE40 has quadrupled), not so consistently out of the HLD-X9 on LD or Meridian 800 on DVD but from s-video tapings or direct view off digital satellite. We get 600 line resolution (PAL) on good material. It is only the odd DVD that levels with the best broadcast. Most irritating because I fail to see any excuse for poor video these days. Rant over.

and of NTSC. I am very fond of PAL for broadcast (I assume given your other comments and your locale that your broadcasts are PAL). Given a quadrupler and good reception the picture should be excellent indeed.I used an S-VHS and a doubler to record in South Africa (also PAL). The results were also quite good. And I was able to rent a CRT projector for a bit. The resultant tapes were as good as anything I saw on Laser (NTSC) after I returned to the states (I kept the PAL player, the projector here was multi-system.) Perhaps better, it's been a while.
