Eva did you buy the Star Wars R1's or R4's?
The R4's weren't in Profiler so I've added them.

The R4's, cuz they were the cheapest. It was a mistake in retrospect, since later on I found out that the R2/4's of original cuts are NTSC>PAL. I can't be bothered selling them now and buying the R1s.

Sweet, looks like all the menus are in English too. Shame about em being 1.78:1 tilt&scan though.
Wicked City - w/ English subs. Hopefully it doesn't suck.

Is that the live action or anime? If its the latter, I really enjoyed it, it a pretty good film, if it the live action, then tell us what you thought about it, as I never seen it

You mean the R1's = NTSC - Better than PAL?
I havent watched one film yet but Star Wars (1977 TC) looked acceptable IMO from what i saw

hey,
I've never seen Dust Devil but something that has been praised and is worthy of a 5 disc edition (although 2 of the dvd's aren't specific to the film) is worth trying. Miramax chopped it up once upon a time...

Did you watch in progressive scan though? That's when the faults of NTSC>PAL conversions are noticeable. It doesn't bother me anyway, since I can only watch these interlaced anyway (everything is forced into 16:9 in prog scan mode on my telly; 16:9 zoom only available on interlaced modes). There's mild blurring on the noticeable from time to time anyway, the laserdisc masters had a shit load of DVNR applied when they were remastered in 1993. Laserdisc was a composite medium, unlike DVD which is natively in component.

No I didn't - my telly can't do a prog scan mode (even though my player can *do* Prog Scan PAL), I just watched it in Auto Picture mode and it was fine.

All right I don't know if it can, can a W/S TV from 4 years ago (I think?) do it?
