Well, I got my player and HD DVDs. What would a young man (*cough*) like me play first on his new player? Why,
Pride & Prejudice, of course. It has a Dolby TrueHD 5.1 soundtrack, and I hadn't seen it, so I figured I'd give it a go. It was actually better than I expected, even though I'd only heard good things. Some of the shots were very beautiful, though the basic quality of the picture wasn't the best high-definition I've seen. I'm not sure if it was intentional or just the gear they used. The sound was very good, and I can confirm that there were no issues with the player and my Integra.
Did someone say Pan's Labyrinth is going to have a DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack? I preordered that a while ago. I'll be ready for it when it finally releases after Christmas.
The thing I really wish is that I could set up different output resolutions on the player for normal DVDs and HD DVDs. I would like to output DVDs at 480 and let the Integra do the upconverting, just because.
