New DVD version of Terminator 2... the "Extreme Edition"

[StageLeft]

Talk about a double-dip though. This is the third DVD version of T2.

And precisely why on principle alone I refuse to further fill the maker's coffers with a purchase.

this thing was a pain to get out of the box! that metal casing practically made the thing get stuck in there.

I'm actually a little excited about this since I watch 95% of my movies using a HTPC and a projector.

Yeah, I agree

BTW The WMP9 HDDVD isnt that bad if you wanna check out some samples:

Word of caution you need a pretty decent machine to watch it but still is pretty damn good and alot better than the best dvd transfer of today.

Does "pretty decent machine" = 3 ghz or better?

thats to play the 1080p stuff, my AMD 2000+ plays most of the files perfectly and thats decent performance... There arent too may people on here with less than 2000.

i don't get smooth playback of the high def on my machine and i have a 2.4 GHz athlon (14 x 170). i think the Interactual video player that it runs on is a piece of crap program. anyone figure out why my machine can't run this smoothly?

athlon 2380 MHz
1 GB DDR
7200 RPM HDD
64 MB GF3 Ti200
16x Toshiba DVD-ROM

where's the weak link? the athlon performs roughly as well as a 3.2 GHz P4, memory and hdd shouldnt be a problem. is it my video card? the product recommends a 128 MB vid card. could this be the culprit? 1900x1200x32bppx24fps = 209 MB/sec mem bandwidth, which my computer should have no problem doing. anyone?

i have a lousy radeon 9000 pro, it plays the t2 wmp files fine.

system dies on the coral 720p and 1080p files since those are the most detailed/cpu heavy ones.

I've always wondered why there are so many versions of such a mediocre movie.
