The release of SD on DVD is still not confirmed, though we're
still in discussions and it looks good. There was talk about a
widescreen version of WWE on tape but I don't know what the current
status of that is.

{original post had no questions}

I just recently got DVD, and I have to say I'm very impressed.
I'd thought that it would be a marginal difference...but it's actually
a quite substantial difference. The resolution on-screen is amazing.
When I'm watching a laserdisk, I'm still aware of this being a film of
the thing; here, it's just the thing...like watching a glossy photo
that moves. It has more features, better quality, killer audio, more
flexibility, and costs less than LDs. I'm sold.

It has 2x and 8x forward and backward, with perfect clarity of
picture, and perfect still frame.

Well, eventually...but when that will be is anyone's guess.

Trying to remember, I'm at the office...I think I got the
Toshiba. There isn't really that much difference between the various
models.

I don't know...all our discussions to date have just concerned
SD, so we'll see.
