13 May 2012 - The Mad Filkentist (original) (raw)

| | May 13th, 2012**05:54 pm - Blu-Ray**I just got my first Blu-Ray disc, Terminator 2. My reactions to it as technology:• A note in the package warns that if the disc is newer than my player, I might need to get a software update for it to play properly. Not a problem in this case, but it could be in the future.• The player tried to connect to the Internet when I started playing the disk. When it failed, I had to go through some extra steps to start the movie.• The video quality isn't noticeably better on my TV than DVD is. Maybe it would be if I had two identical sets side by side, but I don't really care.• This isn't specific to Blu-Ray, but why are so many movies on disc produced so that if the music and special effects are at a reasonable volume level for a home, the dialogue sounds whispered?Wherever I have a choice, I'll stick with DVD.Current Music: Judgment Day(14 comments | Leave a comment) | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | | LiveJournal.com |
