Is there no Blu-Ray release of Sweeney?
Got my duo Samsung player yesterday and it has pluses and minuses. Haven't checked out any Blu-Ray stuff yet, but the HD-DVD stuff we watched yesterday looked really sharp. In fact, too sharp a couple of times--I had my free 'Hulk' DVD that the kids and I watched and all I can say is that Sam Elliott's mustache was doing some really weird s*** due to aliasing or ringing or some other technical glitch. It was actually kind of funny.
The one thing that kind of annoyed me is it evidently doesn't recognize full frame as my Toshiba HD-DVD player did. That was one thing I loved about the Toshiba--if the menus were enhanced but the feature was 1.33:1, it just converted automatically. We popped in a Cholly Chan last night in this new one, and while the extras, which go back and forth between the ratios, worked just fine, the feature itself simply would not display in full frame, no matter how much I futzed with settings on the tv or the player. Luckily we still have our SD DVD player, too, which I also use to record stuff with.
