My entire dvd collection was destroyed! - Blu-ray Forum

rsydnor · 11-25-2008, 08:48 PM

I have a large DVD collection amassed over many years. I have a Mits HD1000U projector in my home theatre and have always thought it looked great with my DVD's...

UNTIL

My PAN BD35 BLU-RAY player arrived three weeks ago. My new Blu-ray collection (now up to 10) has destroyed all enjoyment of my DVD collection!

Now when I spin up a DVD in my home theater, the quality just looks like crap to me! Grain, artifacts, lack of detail. I can't stand to watch them. How did I suffer with such poor quality for the past two years!?

Long live blu-ray!

Anybody want to buy a few hundred DVD's for cheap?

I too have the same issue. I have a mitsu hc6000 and a panny blu ray. I project onto a 120 inch screen. I can no longer watch any dvds not on blu ray. I hate being that way and my wife calls me an hd snob, but what are you going to do. Just hope some of the best releases, like Gladiator, get released on blu.

HAHA, I was expecting to read about a house fire or something like that. I personally would only sell the ones I replaced on Blu-ray

Cromlech · 11-25-2008, 08:53 PM

I understand. I will be replacing the movis that I really love with Blu-Ray versions eventually, but for now I am just buyijng new releases (the exception being Ronin, and POTC trilogy when I already have the first on DVD).

You'll see far more grain with Bluray than Dvd. Not that theres anything wrong with that.

Blu Man · 11-25-2008, 08:57 PM

I get headaches watching DVDs, and im not jokeing.

tntkain · 11-25-2008, 08:59 PM

He probably meant digital noise, not grain. Most people really don't understand what grain is. When they see "mosquito noise" on DVDs they assume it's grainy, when they mean noisy.

Welcome to Blu!!!

fighthefutureofhd · 11-26-2008, 02:08 PM

i still have a fairly big size dvd collection that i won't ever get rid of i think. i love blu-ray, but i am also still happy with dvd. i buy new releases in blu-ray when available but i also buy dvd's too. i think there is room for both actually.

york weir · 11-26-2008, 02:38 PM

The enjoyment of my DVD's aren't gone even though blu-ray looks better.

+1. I thoroughly enjoy BD movies, but watching DVD's doesn't bother me like the majority of snobs

Well the bigger the screen the bigger the difference so if you have a projector you are among those who will be hit the most by the difference.
