Is it just me or do the Hd Dvd screen shots of King Kong look like the color was muted or something.

If your on about the Cgi scenes in particular with it thats because generally when you introduce CGi elements into a film transfer the digital matt covers the entire screen and slightly washes it out, it's most obvious in slightly older early 2000's films that are CGI heavy.. King Kong being one of them. Having owned King Kong though on HD-DVD I'll say that despite all that in general the colour on it was fine.

No, not not the cgi scenes, the second set of pictures mostly.

Sure does. Esp in the last DUD vs DVD picture of Kong. DUD colour looks washed out compared to the DVD.

I just watched Sunshine last night on my PS3, it was a regular dvd being upscaled and at some points the movie looked horrible. Once you get used to Blu Ray movies dvd's being upscaled just doesn't feel right.

I especially love outdoor shots in Blu. Close-Ups don't really wow me so much, but the shots of cities and whatnot look phenominal!

Check out the site http://www.dvdbeaver.com. It gives screen comparisons with their reviews. I'm surprised bluray.com hasn't started doing that.

hi I'm new here and wondering how you do these and get the hd vs regular blu ray? I have a regular plug and play blu ray player and a blu ray player I also purchased with an hd tv, are these the same things? Sorry so many questions. I'm still learning. Also, how do you take screen caps off the blu ray? With a camera specially or your computer or how?

It simple enough to get DVD captures with your PC, most software players have a screen capture function, it's more difficult with Blu-rays, I think they use specialized equipment for the captures on Blu-ray.com (they don't use cameras). You can use your PC to take captures if you have a Blu-ray drive, but the discs have security measures to stop you from doing so.
