  It's nice to see someone posting positively. You have earned my repsect.

• marcusita (22 Feb 2008 21:02)

  Hey dude just added you,i rarely look at my shoutbox.

• Hunt720 (01 Mar 2008 10:41)

  Hey Ryu, this probably isn't the place to ask you this... but I can't find a way to message you on this sit... I'm pretty fresh to it. I'm using Mpeg Mediator to convert .vob files to divx and I'm just wondering what parameters/settings you reccomend to get the best quality to filesize ratio. I'm using the HD Divx settings but its mostly trial and error. If you have any tips let me know... sorry to put this on your shout wall...

  Hunt720, please create a profile... That way we can continue this conversation via Private Messages. :-D

• 7thsinger (04 Mar 2008 10:51)

  Hey thanks! Life is good here. How about you, is all well?

• goodswipe (04 Mar 2008 12:11)

  What's going on man? Haven't seen you around the forums lately - maybe I'm blind!

• tripplite (06 Mar 2008 9:50)

  thanks for the add!
  see you around the dvd forum!

• goodswipe (11 Mar 2008 12:13)

  I know how much you hate these contrast ratio figures, so what do you think about the new Sony XEL-1?
  
  "The difference between the Sony XEL-1’s picture quality and conventional LCD displays is equally dramatic, thanks to its 1million:1 contrast ratio, extensive color spectrum, and nearly limitless viewing angle."

• Ryu77 (11 Mar 2008 23:52)

  I don't hate the contrast figures. There is extensive proof that they are eggagerated and there is no industry standard for measuring contrast ratios. The Sony XEL-1 is the exact TV we were having the discussion about on this thread... [ link ]
  
  Did you read the articles I posted?

  Please understand that I am not saying that the new Sony doesn't have a superior contrast ratio but it's probably more around the 50,000:1 mark (2 and a half times better than the best Plasma). I do believe that the picture quality is amazing but to quote a 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio, over LCD's and Plasma's barely hitting the 20,000:1 mark (is this even a true number??) is just plain ridiculous.

• 7thsinger (12 Mar 2008 9:05)

  Ha ha! No i don't speak Japanese...one day i'll learn. Been saying that for years...but it'll happen!

• goodswipe (12 Mar 2008 12:28)

  yea, a 1 million contrast ratio is pretty ridiculous.

• marcusita (12 Mar 2008 13:50)

  You can say that again dude,i really dont understand how people can think these videos are real.

• goodswipe (12 Mar 2008 16:52)

  man, that ps3 sections fills up quick doesn't it.

• Locster60 (13 Mar 2008 8:28)

  I was wondering if you would give me the info for converting the blu to DVD as i stated on the thread it would be helpfull so i do not have to purchase 2 copies for my home. I saw your posts but would like some clarification. Thanks

• tripplite (13 Mar 2008 22:00)

  Your comment to me on BR sells 9 million in the news thread
  
  "Nobody is suggesting that you should purchase your entire movie library again (if you did indeed purchase it in the first place :-P). "
  
  My only comment to you is " You need a bigger tongue" LMAO!
  For that comment, I'm gonna add you to my buddies list

• iluvendo (31 Mar 2008 18:56)

  Still need a longer tongue! LMAO

• goodswipe (07 Apr 2008 11:02)

  I have some M2TS questions in regards PS3. I've started a thread here: [ link ]
  
  Sorry if this isn't the way to get a hold of you, but I'm new and this was the only way I found. Would you mind taking a look and weighing in?

• DVDBack23 (17 Apr 2008 13:59)

  where did you go man? :-D

• tripplite (28 Apr 2008 18:32)

  ryu buddy hows it going:) anyway......do you know of any hack to run blu ray players on a P4 computer? or just any none dual core processing computer? i've been running mine with my core 2 duo but im just curious is this even possible lol!

• tripplite (28 Apr 2008 21:34)

  Pentium 4 HT 3.0ghz has the strength to play blu ray? i think/hope it does:) i wanna put a BD-r player in my p4 at home, ahhhhh.....but there doesn't seem to be a hack/work around for this......if you find a work around for it let me know:) i'll tell you if i find anything:D

• tripplite (29 Apr 2008 19:26)

  i've always been told that in order to run a blur ray player you require a D-core or above.......are you saying that blu ray players ARE compatible with single core processors??????
  
  
  that would be nice to have 2 blu ray players .........yummy!

• tripplite (30 Apr 2008 7:20)

  my P4 is obviously ATA, but i do have a PCI sata controller? that should work right?, i have no problem buying a new GPU to support 1080i/p, only around 115$ anyway;)
  
  tell me what you think

• goodswipe (05 May 2008 14:11)

  Very nice my friend. It has a 4ms response time. Is there any ghosting at all? Hows it perform when watching sports?

  Added you to buddy list - add me and I got something to ask you! Thanks!

• goodswipe (13 May 2008 10:14)

  Yea, I think he left for personal reasons. I'm really not to sure. He IMed me the other day and I asked him, but he wouldn't really tell me.

• DXR88 (13 May 2008 17:54)

  however he did say he would comeback, even went on to say he already created a new account he just has no profile yet.
  
  I'm sure he's has his reasons. i don't want to delve were i don't belong.

• murph99 (13 May 2008 18:37)

  Are you familiar with the program mkv2vob? If so I could use some help. I'm trying to convert a mkv file to a dvd9 to play on ps3. I tried converting it to m2ts then burning it with Nero Express but it failed. I'm lost on how to convert this file correctly. Can you please help me?
  
  Also, just curious can an mkv be converted to dvd9 as an hd dvd to be played on a hd dvd player? Thanks

• Ryu77 (13 May 2008 19:11)

  murph99, I have created 2 threads for this type of discussion. Please scan through the thread first. You might find that your questions have already been answered. Please post any further questions there. :-)
  
  Here's the links: [ link ] [ link ]
  
  PS: I would always recommend scanning backwards through a thread. With the nature of open source software, large changes can be made to the software in a relatively short time. This could mean that the steps to obtain certain results could change also.

• DXR88 (13 May 2008 19:43)
