    I get those offers in the mail all the time.

    I just signed up with Hollywood Video's version of that. It only costs $10 a month, but it is unlimited rentals. I can take home 3 at a time. The only downside is that if you bring them back late, they will charge you. But they are like 2 blocks from my house, so that shouldn't be an issue. The other downside is new releases can't be rented till they are out for 2 weeks. But that's not bad.


    BTW, I just rented Rundown (with the Rock) and was surprised to find that it was a good movie. It was very funny. I recomend adding it to your list if you haven't seen it yet.

    most netflix offers are for only 2weeks not a month ;)

    and Netflix is the Best, I have been a Member since november 2003 and I will not even think about a differant service.. Cheaper or not,

    They have a Great web interface, Super Fast shipping (next day ), no restiction, infact Netflix gets some movie before even blockbuster ;) , Every title imageable, even TV shows that alot of Retal places will not carry, Lost discs are not even questionion, I reported 2 discs lost in the mail about a month ago, Replacements were sent the next day with out question.. Great customer Service

    I am on the Most expesive 8 out at a time plan, I have 3-4 movies in Tranistion at all times///

    That is great to hear. I was seriously considering Netflix for a while.

    BTW, another thing I didn't care for about Netflix is that on DVD's with dual discs, they count it as two. I thought that was kinda dumb.

    I understand the Logic, the prices are based on Shipping Costs. you can more or less est the max number of disc a person can get in a mo so you can set prices..

    that is why they do that

    it sucks if your tring for a tv series, but most of the movies I never get the second disc anyway since it is just bonus feature I never watch

    ofcourse no one would rent a movie a burn it, to do so would be illegal ;)

    However if I would to partake in such terrible activities :) I would use DVDShrink in combination with Nero. Because DVD shirk will detect Nero 6 and automatically burn it for you using Nero. with no imput needed from you, "One Click" on the "backup" button in side ot dvd shrink

    But ofcourse I dont partake in such activites doing so would be well UNTHINKABLE ;)

    Any and all DVD Copy'ing software is illegal, 321 studios was made to stop distibuting dvd x copy

    http://www.321studios.com/Default.asp

    Those sites are not "authorized" ;) by the publishers of dvd x copy, so you may or may not get the "real" program, as it is no "offically" sold anymore ;)

    Plus it sucks anyway, Dvd Shrink is BY FAR the best

    also remember that Unlike CD's the Media is VERY VERY VERY important, not all dvd players will play all dvd Media, most common problem arise from dvd+R vs dvd-R

    Personally I use RITEK G04 dvd-r's from www.cdrdvdrmedia.com

    Well I decided to trade in the movies I had for some new ones, then go to watch them on the big stereo at Adire. One I got was Cold Mountain. That movie is a chick flick. And this is coming from a guy that usually likes the mild chick flicks. It is slow, boring, and way too long. The only good part about it was Natalie Portman. But what do they think, adding in a bunch of nudity is going to make it a "guy" movie? Not for me. What a waste of 2.5 hours.

    would it be better to save the DTS 5.1 or the AC3 5.1?

    all depends on your Setup

    DTS is better Quality IF your dvd player supports it

    AC3 will play on anything.


    Normally I leave the Disc as it is, unless I have to deselect it for Space Reasons. Which as only happened one time

    I have yet to see any Visual Drawbacks from Compression
