" Hard drive graveyard shift keys twice -- well. Coming up help get home theater PC audio candidates hit I poor and the Blu-ray releases for the week of September 8 but first let's take a -- pathetic and why.

" It's a -- restoration of in 1939 classic that lucky folks got to see back in July that the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and -- annual golden theater in Beverly Hills. You'll get your chance he wizard Abbas needs you on September 23 quarter home videos and Turner Classic Movies present The Wizard of Oz said -- anniversary high -- of in 400 theaters across the US. You can try to find local theater buy tickets at www. bottom of vets dot com. And before you think I'm reading a commercial I've not because this is all leading up to the September 20 ninth release of the remastered. It's crazy they're on the bad digital download dvd and Blu-ray versions of The Wizard of Oz. The last which will include a dolby true HD soundtrack and thankfully the original mono track that a visit them dolby true HD model coming from like seven point one -- which -- little real though -- because it is full on all the single track. Look I -- ice is it wizard Abbas about the prison drama from HBO which is a radically different experience. No that the 2004 dvd release was one of the first movies remastered using Warner Bros. all true resolution process. That's their provide they have proprietary Telus and that that unifies that three black and white negatives that are generated by three strip technicolor. Basically the technicolor process generates three negatives one each from the yellow cyan magenta prism. And then make it -- combined into a single unified video stream. And what's cool is that you anniversary release includes a new transfer the sort of an -- resolution scant on each of the three negatives. They take each scanned the align them frame by frame they examine them and figure imperfections are found they are manually remove this is sick. He is why -- good well thank -- for the poor people who were like that this like coal -- Judy Garland again. But what is amazing is the color on the new Blu-ray version looks ridiculous instilled that -- look especially Chris which is nice. Because if you've been watching this movie for like forty years on television used to this kind of horrible compressed. Colorless drew rear because it isn't us it's it just as one of the original amazing color movies along with gone with the wind and it looks. Amazingly should be series treat for fans the movie. Unfortunately. You'll like this Spartan. The only way to get the Blu-ray version is in an 85 dollar limited edition box that who you feel like you get it for under sixty bucks online. A lot of it worked for arguably probably better color -- movies ever been seen in better detail but wait. Don't call yet now because it also includes a fabulous. Collectible and number that's from the folks that are selling it to you. Seventieth anniversary was at a Basel watch which has a lot of Koreans Barkley thought it along with a -- speech. Book four hours -- never before seen footage archival interviews the cast and crew sundry -- shorts from 1910 on basically movies that nobody's ever seen. A Blu-ray only documentary and a digital copy on the fourth disc. Grab your copy of the dark side of the moon people go to the wizard Abbas dot com for more information on the events and the products. ID act actually it looks like."

" A spectacular restoration -- actually kind of excited that's pretty awesome work. I think I think here's -- look at seem to have any info in the process and they went through on that film is about to -- long -- to look at not as apparently that may have some actually one of the stills in the Blu-ray version but it's like it's the whole idea through eight K scare. Because like that even the latest like the big zillion dollar. Sony four K cameras are you know is that the -- from -- which has a very high resolution to start with those great that they can take that but even more importantly for me as the color quality yeah literally this will probably the best looking version movie ever. However I mean even even the people originally thought if they were able to in the theater back in the day. Won't have as good and experiences were having today I gotta say it it makes it it is we're dvds look like mud like law reminded. Let's see what the Blu-ray releases are for this week of September 8 2000. -- woman crank two high voltage."

" Okay 24. Nap like every Blu-ray okay no 90% of them yup for your question on point four. This emailed us and asked can you talk about the 24 Blu-ray players what I should use it and what gets to use it for movies TV shows help. This the -- yeah actually come from this but I think it's -- It eight X. We're -- are 24. TV. Can I ask me more questions before letting you speak."

" Short answer is like a bit of a look couple minutes ago every Blu-ray movie. Now about 90% of their lives others but every movie is shot recorded at 24 frames per second it's encoded on the disk at 24 -- or 24 PR you wanna call it. And many of the Blu-ray players out there actually offer a twenty option to output that at the original 24. 1080 24 sometimes call. Now if you had a TV that the ports that input format. Just about all of your new 120 hurts LTD is -- and I'm actually finding a lot of even sixty hurt. LCDs the original ones will even support that some of them some of the newer ones will and they can actually operate in a mode that's compatible with that -- as well. Like say. A sixty heard LCD that can run it forty -- actually a couple of those little beasts out there to now most your 120 hurts that's well run and at a 120 her to work in -- cents a five explain repeat. However you have to go in and enable those features within the TV in order to see it hasn't handed. Which is the key normally with your 120 -- that's you're looking at smoothing function. It would it its its aim is to make the video look more clear by adding inter related frames to smooth out the videos -- that without a look at it we have got them process totally. That there is that part of it literally melt the Blu-ray player with a three -- used -- process -- converted to a video format that's for sixty -- say -- you have if you wanna -- 24 frames to thirty frames the sixty frames per second. That's for use those three to pulled -- processes with Blu-ray don't need to do that now if you're you get the team gets compatible with it. You going your Blu-ray player and senate for 24. TV take care of at that point. Now there's a couple other ways to do that as well you. You can get confusing to set like you could you could actually set the player and output 1089 and let the TV pick up on that cadence and recreated if it's gotta smart video processor an anti. That's that's over complicating it really if you've got the TV that supports 24 frames per second. You've got a TV that can do a multiplier. A video output in terms of -- repeatedly. And at a multiple of 24 -- like a 120 -- at 240 or 96 -- for some plasma sets or is this semi to worth forty it hurts any of those multiples if you got a team that can do that set the player outputs one for. However you're gonna play a movie like a dvd or any other content that wasn't originally recorded a 24. The player will just switch out of that to sixty Hertz or whatever cool so you don't worry about the -- and he has he has it's not gonna force the sixty are content to be 24 -- so it's not gonna do some reverse process or or conversion on that side so that -- that's the short answer. -- Hey Matt has a good question that when my personal favorites."

" Home theater PC problems of the -- Matt writes in -- wanna build a home theater PC but I didn't hear what the HE MI cables connectors from your motherboard with integrated chip graphics card this -- it transferred whether it. You hook it up that cheers max. Okay well fortunately most new graphics cards will pass audio through HT carport just five. On integrated chip sets Walt Jason cross your favorite GPU expert talks about this episode 103 of Tekzilla.

This is the aces eight CAD one dot three blocks. The AuthenTec HEY one -- three -- home theater just finally got released people waiting for that for like a thousand years. It might actually be cheaper to get to do GPU unless you're one of the people of North America that actually hear the difference between the PC and streams and the true reach these streets I. You can't be there is no difference in terms of audio quality but yeah the -- Please don't go a long letters and together I think this is for the price where these cars thousand text like to a fifty bucks you could also -- PS3 slim.

" One last question before we go to rights and in. I love my harmony 880 remote except for one thing it's too slick as the in slippery. I've dropped a couple times in the carpet thankfully and I have wondered if there -- the way to make it a little more grippy. I've thought about getting some ultra fine sandpaper and roughing it up and wrapping up the back a bit. But I worry it would end up little too ugly looking you know there's some sort of -- A handful.

They take each scanned the align them frame by frame they examine them and figure imperfections are found they are manually remove this is sick. He is why -- good well thank -- for the poor people who were like that this like coal -- Judy Garland again.

" A spectacular restoration -- actually kind of excited that's pretty awesome work. I think I think here's -- look at seem to have any info in the process and they went through on that film is about to -- long -- to look at not as apparently that may have some actually one of the stills in the Blu-ray version but it's like it's the whole idea through eight K scare. Because like that even the latest like the big zillion dollar. Sony four K cameras are you know is that the -- from -- which has a very high resolution to start with those great that they can take that but even more importantly for me as the color quality yeah literally this will probably the best looking version movie ever. However I mean even even the people originally thought if they were able to in the theater back in the day.

" Okay 24. Nap like every Blu-ray okay no 90% of them yup for your question on point four. This emailed us and asked can you talk about the 24 Blu-ray players what I should use it and what gets to use it for movies TV shows help. This the -- yeah actually come from this but I think it's -- It eight X. We're -- are 24. TV. Can I ask me more questions before letting you speak."

" Short answer is like a bit of a look couple minutes ago every Blu-ray movie. Now about 90% of their lives others but every movie is shot recorded at 24 frames per second it's encoded on the disk at 24 -- or 24 PR you wanna call it. And many of the Blu-ray players out there actually offer a twenty option to output that at the original 24. 1080 24 sometimes call. Now if you had a TV that the ports that input format. Just about all of your new 120 hurts LTD is -- and I'm actually finding a lot of even sixty hurt. LCDs the original ones will even support that some of them some of the newer ones will and they can actually operate in a mode that's compatible with that -- as well. Like say. A sixty heard LCD that can run it forty -- actually a couple of those little beasts out there to now most your 120 hurts that's well run and at a 120 her to work in -- cents a five explain repeat. However you have to go in and enable those features within the TV in order to see it hasn't handed. Which is the key normally with your 120 -- that's you're looking at smoothing function. It would it its its aim is to make the video look more clear by adding inter related frames to smooth out the videos -- that without a look at it we have got them process totally. That there is that part of it literally melt the Blu-ray player with a three -- used -- process -- converted to a video format that's for sixty -- say -- you have if you wanna -- 24 frames to thirty frames the sixty frames per second. That's for use those three to pulled -- processes with Blu-ray don't need to do that now if you're you get the team gets compatible with it. You going your Blu-ray player and senate for 24. TV take care of at that point. Now there's a couple other ways to do that as well you. You can get confusing to set like you could you could actually set the player and output 1089 and let the TV pick up on that cadence and recreated if it's gotta smart video processor an anti. That's that's over complicating it really if you've got the TV that supports 24 frames per second. You've got a TV that can do a multiplier. A video output in terms of -- repeatedly. And at a multiple of 24 -- like a 120 -- at 240 or 96 -- for some plasma sets or is this semi to worth forty it hurts any of those multiples if you got a team that can do that set the player outputs one for. However you're gonna play a movie like a dvd or any other content that wasn't originally recorded a 24. The player will just switch out of that to sixty Hertz or whatever cool so you don't worry about the -- and he has he has it's not gonna force the sixty are content to be 24 -- so it's not gonna do some reverse process or or conversion on that side so that -- that's the short answer. -- Hey Matt has a good question that when my personal favorites."
