Thanks DVD Josh - I'll check it out! I liked the mystery around the movie back then - I actually rode past the scene outside Dana's building back in late 1983 without knowing what it was! I could see the troops and the cop car "underground" - up close it looked kinda fake.

BTW, is DCA "DVD Custom Artwork"?

does the current version of GB have the alternate TV scenes? two memorable scenes come to mind: when Venkman pops out of the ballroom after busting the slimer ghost, and the meeting in the mayor's office. how i wish studios would release these alternate TV scenes on the discs as extras, but i'm not sure how rights are set up for them to be included.

For the record I'm watching on a 36" CRT 4x3 monitor with 16:9 viewing mode.

I don't think they could include the music video - there was a lawsuit about the song i...it supposedly ripped off Huey Lewis' song "I Want a New Drug"

The WAY Josh responded is what deems his maturity, not whether he thinks the picture quality is good or bad. I never said whether the picture quality was good or bad. Before you guys wanna jump in, why don't you read EVERYTHING you're responding to. Instead of asking me, "Whoa! Where did that come from?", read the posts that preceded it and you'd see very clearly where it came from.

Pants, Is that a Sony? If so, what do you think of the enhanced 16:9 viewing mode. My dad didn't want a HDTV, so I got him a 32" Sony with the 16:9 viewing mode and he doesn't seem to like it, since it actually shrinks the entire picture a bit. What do you think of it? I'd love to be able to persuade him over to the enhanced viewing mode side, since that was the reason I got that TV for him, but I don't know. Can you help me out?

What do you mean it shrinks the entire picture a bit? You do realize that the height is supposed to shrink to create a 16:9 window within the 4:3 picture tube. If you're saying that the image shrinks smaller than a 16:9 window then you have something set wrong or there's a problem with the geometry

Chipmac, I've seen it. When you use enhanced 16:9 mode, the picture is even smaller. I don't know why, but it is. If something is set wrong, please tell me what it is, so I can fix it.

His setup is wrong. 16x9 mode mimics a 16x9 TV, so you have to set the DVD player to wide, not PS or letterboxed or 4x3. When you do that, and enable the 16x9 mode, the picture should be the correct size when viewing anamorphic discs. If a movie is non-anamorphic, you don't activate the enhanced mode on the TV and it will play properly letterboxed.

In other words, you have to set the player up same as if you had a widescreen TV. If the player is set up like that already, and it's still smooshing it down to small, chances are the factory settings for the TV are off. You can adjust the size of the squeeze in the service menu of the TV. Advise if you need it and I can post or send instructions on how to do that.

Don't really care to, sorry.
