Subject: Film Viewing Preference

Written By: Ripley on 02/09/16 at 1:53 pm

Which way do you prefer to watch movies and other recordings?

Subject: Re: Film Viewing Preference

Written By: #Infinity on 02/09/16 at 2:00 pm

DVD's are convenient to navigate and they don't get all grainy like VHS tapes do.

Subject: Re: Film Viewing Preference

At the cinema, DVD, and watching recorded film on television.

Projector, as in cinema?

No option for cinema!

Yeah. I only put home viewing ways.  ;)
I'm going to create a topic about cinema next though.

And the projector I'm reffering to is when you put up a screen, some of the old window screens work too. And it has film in it.

The DVD.

Although I still have some vhs tapes, I prefef dvd, or whatever I've downloaded. I don't like the quality of home projector units, honestly. As far as Blue-Ray, well I feel the difference is marginal at best, unless you talk about price. With todays tvs you can see the make-up on the actor, the strings, and green screens, unless blue-Ray hides all that, I don't see spending the money.

So true. And you don't have to rewind them when finished!

VHS will always be the superior way to view films.

Out of those I'd have to go with Blu-ray. I've pretty much moved onto being 100% digital though.

DVDs obviously. But if it's in the future, then I'll choose Blu-Ray. Using VHS tapes is like the only way to view movies if we're in an apocalypse and everything older than 1995 survives.

I admit, your Photoshop skills are quite impressive but they do not fool old and experienced eyes such as my own.

Everyone knows you can't break a VHS. They're built like tanks crafted by the mighty gods!

Oh yeah, I'd do that in the late 80's and early 90's with my brother and sister, too! I don't have any of those tapes, though. I wonder if my parents still have 'em. If not them, then maybe my brother.
