A news item over on the MacCentral site says that Sony is denying a price cut on the PS3. I didn't read the article, only the headline. So, who knows. Of course, it's standard business practice to deny any potential price cut until it's actually …

Never mind, I solved my problem by reading the iTune's Help file. It's truly amazing what one learns by reading the documentation.

I used Handbrake to convert an episode of WKRP and transferred it to iTunes where it plays fine. However, I'm totally unable to get it onto my 80GB iPod Classic. It's an .mp4 file. Initially I got the error message "WKRP was not copied on the iPod b…

I have a very basic question, if I want to put a movie or TV program from a DVD I've purchased onto my iPod, can this be done directly from Handbreake or does the DVD have to be ripped first to eliminate the copy protection?

Some of us are old fashion. I'm using two iPods but have yet to download anything except a free podcast from the iTunes store, so I don't foresee downloading movies. I've been on a movie kick the last four nights, watching The Rock and 3:10 to Yu…

There seems to be some question about the accuracy of the Financial Times' report that Paramount will be dropping HD. There's one report that Paramount has denied the claim, calling it speculative. Just another day in the wacky world of HDM.

Universal has to be examining their business plan. Now that the experts in the media are calling the format war over it's a safe bet that HD player sales will dry up. HD disc's roughly 40% market share on a good week should shrink considerably over …

Isn't the Lord of the Ring trilogy from New Line?

Wow, Warner's decision was a shocker! Earlier today I was about to post that I doubted that Warner would make that choice. That sure shows how little I know. If moines did change hands I guess we have Microsoft to thank for showing the BDA how th…

The inserts from Circuit City and Best Buy in today's paper had a buy 3 get 2 free offer. CC's offer looked to feature 14 titles while BB's was a little unclear, it showed 7 or 8 titles but the text seemed to imply that all HD-DVDs were eligible. …
