Just watched Enter the Dragon... WOW!!!
Well, Amazon changed my ship date to August on this, so I cancelled my order, picked it up at BB, & took the afternoon off to check it out. Using component into my Mitsubishi 65-869, no problems like FMJ here at all, the colors were popping all over, the blacks were solid, and the detail was very impressive. To me. it looks better than Blazing Saddles. Audio is great as well (DTS thru optical for me), all those smacks sound like they really hurt. One of my favorite HD-DVDs now, best Enter the Dragon ever, BIG thumbs up!!!

I'm off for three days and hoped this was one I could watch, but Amazon delayed it. Don't know if I want to wait or just go buy it with my $25 movie cash at Best Buy.
|
I'm sooo glad this movie looks good. It's a must buy for me.
|
Excellent news! I haven't seen this movie in years, and picked up the SE on SD DVD recently, but I'm selling it in favor of this.

Enter the Dragon doesnt look as crisp as I had hoped. The colors are great, they really do pop out at you. But the image isnt as sharp as other HD-DVD's.

I picked it up today. I had a $10 rewards rebate from Best Buy and used it on Enter the Dragon. Cancelled my Amazon order. I doubt it will really take them 4 weeks to fill the order, but I don't feel like waiting until even next week. I'll watch it tomorrow as I had to sit through Perfect Storm for the wife tonight and wanted to get that thing back to Netflix.

Prople on AVS are starting to see a problem... stairstepping leading them to believe it is yet another bobbed transfer, nicely saturated colors or not!

It would be nice if Amazon shipped this soon so I could check it out and see if I agree or not with it being a bobbed release.

Correct me if I am wrong, but doesn't DVD have the same ability to reproduce colors as HD-DVD and Blu-Ray?

Actually, I think DVD could do the colors. There's no reason you can't encode a hig bitrate Mpeg2 disc. It be pretty short (9 gigs max) and at DVD's 480P resolution, but the colors would be there.

HD and SD use inherently different color matrices. HD has a greater range of colors.

DVD has a lower color resolution: http://members.aol.com/ajaynejr/vidcolor.htm

One example is Enter the Dragon. I looked at the fight scene early on (around chapter 8) and I didn't see a noticeable difference in the saturation of the color. The HD yellow didn't look "more yellow" --- but it sure looked a hell of a lot better. I was amazed at the difference once I put in the DVD. It just seems that "more accurate color reproduction" is better to say than "displays more colors"... Or "displays more colors accurately in a scene" -- simply saying "displays more colors" sounds like you can see colors you've never seen on a TV before HDTV, and that I cannot believe. |

I don't know anything about it having a greater range of colors. It sounds like it could mean that it has a wider color pallette, so it can display more colors at once (like a video game in 16-bit color vs. 32-bit color). |
