Absolutely over the moon for the heads up, thanks again fuzzydunlop, an absolutely brilliantly presented boxset, the design and textured cardstock is fantastic.

The two copies left when I went to my local HMV were both shrink wrap sealed. The copy I had did not have anything missing. The Fire Walk With Me piece of paper was not underneath the flap fully in mine as its just a loose slip of paper and had worked its way out of the flap partially.

Was the copy you got sealed?

I cancelled my order from HMV today and bought it from ZOOM instead for £16.63 and even though there is a thread here saying that the offer on ZOOM has expired it hasn't as my order is in dispatch. Oh and you would have been better buying it with a card from HMV as Paypal takes your money straight away compared to when you use a card it's not charged till your order is dispatched.

Ah man did they?? Gutted I missed it!

I used their online chat to see if they would match HMV. They said no.....then seemingly did. Gutted.

Just hope HMV don't send out the cancellation e-mails!!

​just had a look, can't find it for that price?

And the point I am making is with many a TV you do not even need that option in a Blu Ray player menu, you can stretch which looks horrendous or you can choose to crop (making it full screen) as in the Seinfeld example which I believe is exactly what you are referring to doing if not stretching within the TV Menu itself (I am not referring to Blu Ray or DVD options I am referring here to the TV picture options) .Why black bars down the sides can actually damage your TV I do not know....other than the possibility of (correctable) image retention of the lines either side on Plasma I cannot see how.

Whether changing picture output settings in a DVD Player, Blu Ray Player or for that matter a TV itself which is dependent on the makes and models and picture options available...cropping or stretching from the original source material is not advisable as the examples show.

I was intrigued enough to Google it - turns out the warning was about screen burn-in. It's highly unlikely to happen in this day and age though! You'd probably have to leave it on for days.

Out of interest what is the make and model of your TV? I am curious to know what manufacturer is giving you info that black bars can damage your TV? Also what Blu Ray Player are you using? I would be very surprised if not between your Blu Ray Player and your TV there would not be one of the two that has a picture ratio changing option as long as you are prepared to live with the output as the 'Seinfeld' example.

In an ideal world there would be a 16:9 of this, unfortunately as I explained...unlike The X Files remaster I am sure you can understand why one has not been done, you cannot open up any more information than what was originally shot, and as it was shot in 4:3 a cropping would be horrendous...although you are welcome to try it in your own home by changing picture options.

This has not been available online now for nearly the past day. Hopefully back ordered stocks will be fulfilled but I did not want to chance any cancellations and secured a copy instore.

For those who dont have blu-ray players, or those who don't mind having it on dvd...
You can get it on dvd from HMV for just £12.99 Delivered which seems like a really great price.

What if... Diane is the name of his dictaphone

It means you see the full picture though, as the director intended.

Why would you want to make the picture full frame? Many a TV would allow you change picture ratio these days, but once again why would you? Stretching a 4:3 image to 16:9 is atrocious..Twin Peaks was shot in 4:3.

This is an example of horrendous stretching a 4:3 image.



Unlike The X Files that was originally shot on Super 35 but cropped for 4:3 broadcasting they were able to just crop slightly the image top and bottom but you gained more from the original filming as shown below.



If you were to take the 35mm original Twin Peaks that was only done in 4:3 and crop a 16:9 you would result in way too much missing...like this example with Seinfeld.

Same in my local. They only had 2 copies and someone else bought the other whilst I was there. Glad I went early.

1410 minutes.

I'm not sure what you're saying to be honest I'm Lost..

Did your log tell you that?
