“+No computer is capable of playing 120 fps in 1080p.”

If a monitor supports the resolution (which most do, 24 inch >), then a computer will have no problem playing 1080p (1920×1080). Computer aren’t restricted in playing content like the tv / hd player HDCP counterparts, they use a standard called DVI, which doesn’t encrypt the signal. The codecs are usually mpeg layer 2 (same as dvd), or mpeg layer 4 (mp4 | xvid | divx). These can be easily played.

The dell 30″ widescreen monitor supports resolutions greatly in excess of 1080p, 2560×1600, the last time i looked. HD players are a waste of money and time, just download (bittorrent, or a download service if you like to pay rip off prices) the videos onto a media centre or a regular PC setup, install codecs and bingo. No need for expensive discs or players.

I do recommend switching to blu-ray if you own an HD TV. if you dont- dont bother.

im loving my blu-ray player…

If you really wanted to, you could watch the special features as you wait for the messages to pass by as well… but thats only with blu-ray.

I dont go to the theaters… due to quality loss (720p compared to 1080p), chairs getting kicked, cell phones, price, etc… you know.

but my point is- why not go blu?

Cheers!

It does the same for me in IE. I’ll get this sorted out ASAP, but I have absolutely no idea why it’s happening This kind of thing happening is one of the reasons I switched to Firefox on long time ago

Has anyone any idea how long this has been going on? Is it recent or has it been happening since I switched to WordPress?

Cheers!

I long ago figured out that the movie industry as well as the other entertainment industries have hit rock bottom as far as value goes. Corporation trimming to return a bottom line to the shareholders while maintaining insane income levels for top management is showing up with the customers. Offshoring has removed much of the middle income brackets and that has also resulted in less money for discressionary spending as well.

The corporation would rather have the tried and true income producer instead of taking a chance on art in the biz. Customers are tired of remakes of remakes of remakes. They are also tired of the endless sequal which seems to think that the next in the series has to have more explosions and special effects to be better.

Add to this, the continual bombardment of advertisements, unwanted previews, admonishments to a paying audience who should not be their target, unruly behavior in the gallery, audio volume to rival a concert where you are sitting on the speakers, generally poor enviromental cleanliness, and the high prices of both ticket and concessions and it no longer takes on the aspect of “The Great Silver Screen” but rather leaves the customer with a very unsatisfied experience where he feels he was robbed of his money as well as of his time.

I haven’t went to the movies in years. I dislike long lines, I dislike crowds, I dislike the whole thing mentioned above. Far too many times I’ve read the billboard that sounds like it is the next contender for an award only to find out after viewing it was a dud in the worse sense of the word. That dissatisfaction eventually led me to realise very few movies are actually worth the “theater experience”.

When coupled with the industries’ spoiled brat attitude, there is no other assumption to come to but the entire thing has become a failure and one I don’t want to be in the middle of.
