My Week with Marilyn Blu-ray Disc Review

Brenden

Cygnett's OpticClear Screen Protectors for iPod nano 7G ($10) seem like a good deal at first glance. For the price, you get three screen films, plus a cleaning cloth and squeegee. Unfortunately, we received three packs for review, and all nine of the films were cut incorrectly. The scoop for the Home button is too low, meaning that the bottom portion of the bezel is partially uncovered, and the film juts above the top of the screen. In the current… Read similar

HBO today has won a battle in the over-the-top content wars. The pay-TV giant has inked a deal with Universal Pictures that extends Universal Pictures’ and Focus Features’ films appearing on HBO’s TV, online and mobile platforms in the U.S. for the next decade. What’s key is that the deal is exclusive to HBO and will mean that Netflix (and other OTT players) will not get that content: “Yes, it is exclusive. Netflix can’t touch it,” a spokesperson told TechCrunch. HBO also has exclusive deals with Fox, Warner Bros, and Summit, in addition to Universal. The deal, wh... Read similar

Redbox Instant streaming now available on LG Smart TVs

www.engadget.com Richard Lawler 7 days ago

While still in beta, Redbox Instant is slowly increasing the number of devices it supports and has now announced its launch on LG's Smart TV platform (TVs only, not Blu-ray players, for now.) The hybrid disc / video on-demand / subscription streaming movie service has continued to push updates to its apps on Android and iOS since their debut, and has been posting promotions of its "disc + digital" approach. Its digital catalog is still more limited than competition like Netflix or Amazon Prime, but the disc aspect is an interesting hook, allowing users to pick up a brand new flick at the kiosk...

www.engadget.com Richard Lawler 20 days ago

Kaleidescape launched its online offering in beta late last year, and now it's officially open, becoming what it claims is the first store to provide "internet delivery of Blu-ray quality movies." The Kaleidescape Store goes beyond other 1080p services (Vudu, iTunes, Xbox and PSN come to mind) by promising the disc-equaling higher bitrates, extras and lossless audio options they don't have. There's no streaming to be had here, only downloads, with file sizes we saw ranging from 23GB (Austin Powers) to as much as 55.4GB (Inception) and everywhere in between.While the store is only built to work...

Review: Blu-ray player software for Mac

www.tuaw.com Mel Martin 112 days ago

It's been a while since Steve Jobs declared Blu-ray a "bag of hurt", and in the years since Apple has been uninterested in the Blu-ray disc format. Maybe they don't want to pay the license fees, maybe they'd rather sell you movies from iTunes, who knows, but Blu-ray hardware from Apple isn't likely. If you must play Blu-ray discs on your Mac, however, there are plenty of internal (for Mac Pro) and external Blu-ray drives that work just fine. Prices start at around $50. The OS supports data Blu-ray discs, and you can burn them with commercial utilities like Toast. Despite Apple's dislike of Bl... Read similar

NVIDIA reveals Volta next-gen GPU platform

www.engadget.com Michael Gorman 64 days ago

We're here at NVIDIA's GPU Technology Conference in San Jose, and company CEO Jen Hsun-Huang has just revealed the next step in its GPU roadmap. Called Volta, it's scheduled to arrive after Maxwell, and will advance GPU technology with a ridiculous amount of memory bandwidth. Volta GPUs will have access to up to 1TB per second of bandwidth by stacking the DRAM on top of the GPU itself, with a silica substrate between them. Then, by cutting a hole through the silicon and connecting each layer it's possible to move, according to Huang "all of the data from a full Blu-Ray disc through the chip ... Read similar

There was nothing easy about the making of the Oscar-award winning film Life of Pi — a movie that took a book about philosophy and being lost at sea and turned it into a visually-stunning 3D experience.Not only did the crew build the world's largest wave pool in film history and create an entire storyline around a boy on a boat with a tiger — which was actually an animation and wasn't even there during filming — actor Suraj Sharma (who plays Pi Patel) didn't even know how to swim. The entire film was also shot in 3D, not partially in 2D.To kick off its Blu-ray release —... Read similar
