Sorry if this is getting a little off the topic of the mailing list, but<br />
I want to put in a few more comments about DVD. As was mentioned in the<br />
last mailing, DVD's look worse on bigger screens. The first time I<br />
commented on the "blockiness" of DVD to a salesperson at "The Good Guys"<br />
(a store that is anything but) he said "oh, that's because it's on a<br />
projection TV. They never have a very clear picture." Funny, that's also<br />
what they told me a couple years ago about DSS (WHY are so many people<br />
actually buying that thing???)<br />
I wonder how salespeople sold <strong>CED</strong>'s when they came out. Did they try to<br />
convince people that they didn't actually see the disc skip, or that it<br />
was nothing to worry about? It's funny how old video magazines often<br />
wrote about <strong>CED</strong> players as a viable product, seems the companies were<br />
putting cash in their pockets for not saying that they were a joke. Now<br />
history is repeating itself.<br />
RCA now not only sells a DVD player, but also has their own DVD demo disc<br />
for instore play. I haven't gotten to watch it but I wonder if they<br />
brought back the blonde twins to sing the praises again? ;)<br />

Subject: Best and Worst Side Breaks on <strong>CED</strong>'s<br />
Mime-Version: 1.0<br />
How about some discussion on what people feel are the best and worst breaks<br />
between side 1 and side 2 they have ever encountered on a <strong>CED</strong>. Here are my<br />
choices:<br />
BEST:<br />
"Raiders of the Lost Ark"<br />
A visitor to the web site pointed this one out some time ago and I can't think<br />
of a better one. Side one ends at 58:11 right after Indiana Jones says "That's<br />
It"<br />
WORST:<br />
"2001" (Part 1)<br />
Side 1 ends at 37:43 as the ship is landing on the moon, almost mid-note in<br />
Strauss' Blue Danube Waltz. Why couldn't they make it one minute longer to<br />
complete the scene and finish the song?
