Home Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

Ah, terminology…

Over here, a universal player is one that plays CD/DVD V & A/SACD. Players that play all regions tend to be called 'all region' players from what I've seen. I guess it's possible that some universal players play all regions.

I'm slowly starting to build a movie library after years of avoiding video. The thing that made the difference for me was the purchase of a Loewe 32" HD LCD TV. All of a sudden the picture quality was enough to excite me and hold my attention. That triggered an upgrade of my DVD player and lots of movie viewing. I wonder if becoming an audiophile is somewhat similar: exposure to sound quality sufficient to trigger the appropriate response.

A lot of my viewing is simply commercial, escapist fodder but I do keep an eye out for films which moved me when I was attending film festivals in my mispent youth. Unfortunately those films often seem unobtainable on DVD here.
