| | Posted: | | | | I just checked Dr. NO, it was not marked CC in the profile, but just tried it and it is Closed Captioned.
The last in the collection, Quantum of Solace, is not CC.
Who knows what rationalization they use, maybe on re-releases if they had CC on the old release.
So I suspect more BD are missing their CC marking. | | | We don't need stinkin' IMDB's errors, we make our own.

| | Posted: | | | | From my experience it is the older blu's that have CC. On those where it is marked on the back I can get the CC via PowerDVD.
I have not seen CC on anything new released in the last few years. Well at least I have not purchased a newer released title where it was on there.
And Pete, nice to see you took the Blu-ray plunge!!!! |

So I suspect more BD are missing their CC marking. I would suspect that is the case, on a re-release if they are using the same disc image it would be there. And we all know how covers can be inaccurate. Since they do not seem to put CC on new releases now, they probably don't want to advertise on the re-releases that they could have it. |

It's mostly just the older 20th Century Fox (and the MGM distributed) Blu-rays that have CC, but there are quite a few of them. | | | | Corey |

| | Posted: | | | | I see on a handful of the blu-rays that I have has a feature called MovieIQ... was just curious... what is this feature? And does it need to have the player hooked to the net? The player don't have wifi and no phone line close enough to hook it up by the wire. | | | | Pete |

The player don't have wifi and no phone line close enough to hook it up by the wire. That is why the computer gods made Wi-Fi and Wireless routers LOL I would like to warn you though. Ensure in your settings all the internet is shut off if you don't have it connected. Some players attempt to start the connection every time the disc requests internet content. And depending on the time out value it can slow things down. Mainly in the startup. Many new releases (especially Universal) go out to the internet for the previews before the movie starts. | | | | Last edited: by Scooter1836 |

| | Posted: | | | | Did I understand correctly that you have your Blu-ray player connected to your TV using Composite Video cable (yellow RCA cable)? I understood that your tv doesn't have HDMI connector, but doesn't it have Component Video connectors or S-video? Composite (AKA Composhit) has the worst possible picture quality and I don't believe that you can see any difference between Blu-ray and DVD while using it. It's even hard to notice any difference with a good quality VHS. I once had to use composite for a minute while testing and the picture quality was unwatchable. |

| | Posted: | | | | The way I understood Pete, this weekend he would be able to watch on his daughter's HDTV. I would assume the two are connected through HDMI.
@Pete:
If your own TV has component connections (red, green and blue), it would definitely be preferable to use those to connect your blu-ray player (in combination with RCA jacks for audio, the white and red ones) over a composite video connection (yellow). Kulju is absolutely right there. |

| | Posted: | | | | Yes... I can watch my blu-rays on Britt's hdtv until she leaves for college... she has no problem with me watching anything I want whenever I want.  After she leaves I will have to deal with watching them on my old TV... only has the composite inputs. At least until I can get a better TV. | | | | Pete |

Keep in mind that all Blu-ray players manufactured after 1/1/2012 will not do up-scaling for you DVD's though composite video. Another corporate jab to get all of us to buy new TV's. |

| | Posted: | | | | I have had this player hooked to my old TV before (it is still currently on my daughter's hdtv)... and while no where near as good as on Britt's hdtv... I did see an improvement over DVD on my standard TV.  Though I will be desperate to get a new TV still. | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: | | | | Well I am glad to hear you are on your way to enjoying Hi-Definition sound and picture.
I had a decent size collection of DVD's, but in 2005 most f them were stolen. The Hi-Def format wars started raging. So waited started collecting again in 2007. So I am at 1583 Blu-rays and 91 DVD's. So I am the opposite of many of you in percentage of Blu-ray to DVD. I am addicted to Blu LOL. | | | | Last edited: by Scooter1836 |
