Some of my personal favorites, from the many BDs I own, in no particular order The Descent: for its most excellent sound Crank: if you want to see pores, spotless digital video, this movie has some fantastic appeal Pirates of the Carribean - Curse of the Black Pearl: a more "filmy" look than some of the digital movies, but absolutely amazing, and absolutely stunning sound Sunshine: Stunning video, stunning sound, 5star in each IMHO. An absolutely bombastic DTS-HDMA soundtrack Cars: I absolutely love the sound in this one Ice Age - the meltdown: some of the glacier sounds are house-rattling, and the fur on some of the animals shows the detail of BD very nicely Casino Royale Batman Begins: out tomorrow on BD! I can promise based on the HD-DVD version it will be an audio/visual masterpiece, demo quality for sure In addtion to these I've Netflixed many BDs I thought had great audio/video : Ultraviolet, all the Resident Evil movies, Silent Hill, Blood Diamond, No Country for Old Men, Apocalyptico.... the list goes on.

Its the CD version

Well, at least it wasn't just me hearing the noise!

On DeanG's recommendation I picked up this Robert Plant/Allison Krauss album. Its not usually my kind of music but it's nice. It seems to me there is more noise in this recording than I would expect from a "good recording", and using both Cornwalls and headphones, the mix heavily favors the right channel. Track 8: Trampled Rose is wonderfully haunting, definately my favorite on the album. Anyone else familiar with this recording?

Sony definately thought of this as going in people's home theaters. Why encourage publishers to offer 7.1 sound for games otherwise? The PS3 is my only transport but it is my main video transport. Lack of 5.1 or 7.1 analog out is a negative for many people with investments in preprocessors/receivers without HDMI. I just upgraded my pre/pro.

We listened to the Icon W at this year's pilgrimage, I plan on getting a pair of the towers for my livingroom.

What's this about the wife destroying things?

Your operating system paints a snapshot of the screen into memmory when you use the screenshot key. This memory can be grabbed off the "clipboard" by any graphics program; Paint.NET is a good free/open source one, any edition Windows ships with Paint or something like it, etc.

My time here on the Klipsch community has been rewarding, but I fear I'll only have time for one thing... http://www.blizzard.com/diablo3/media/screenshots.xml

Silverlight is a vector graphics and media platform, similar to flash, so it's not a "picture" you can right-click and save. There's the photo and about 600 lines of code plus hand-drawn clipping planes; it's a program, not a photo.

Here's a screenshot of the application on my 4:3 monitor with resolution set to 1024x768, everyone shows up and the baloons do not run off the edge of the page.

Ok, folks, it should scale up and down perfectly to the size of the browser now. You can make it as tiny as you want it

You would need to: 1) Use the Print-screen button to take a screenshot into memory 2) Open a graphics program like Paint etc and "paste" the screenshot in 3) save as a jpg, bmp, etc. However, it sounds like I might know what is going on Larry, the browser is probably showing a left-right scrollbar, I'll have to see about automatically scaling the entire thing so you don't have to scroll.

I thought that was dwight! if you carefully mouse-over it is listed as the omnipresent Dwight ...

Can you post a screenshot Larry? It's 100% correct for me now.

Thursday June 26th, 3:00pm CST I've updated the program with nu2toobs, as well as creating a nicer Silverlight install screen, and also fixing the issue where the "baloon" was off the edge of the visible canvas for folks on the right. Still looking for several more names if anyone can help!

You win... Respect! Seriously, I didn't know that dark duck was in the picutre until I was zoomed in at 400% creating clipping regions.

The photo is 1280 pixels wide, any smaller and it would have been very hard to find some people's faces. Has anyone found the easter egg yet?

Here's a software nerd I know doing a one-man-band version of "Home at Last", he's pretty good http://www.intellectualhedonism.com/2007/10/21/HomeAtLast.aspx

http://www.klipschcorner.com/silverlight/2008/PilgrimageFaces/ You will probably be asked to get "Silverlight", which only takes a sec. This works on Mac, Windows, LINUX is a little more tricky. Use this to mouse over the group photo & see first names, forum names, where they're from.

(3:08pm) Ok, this version has all the names we know: http://www.klipschcorner.com/silverlight/2008/PilgrimageFaces/

Updated: 2:10pm CST with more people filled out, working from left to right mostly.

The official project is now here: http://www.klipschcorner.com/silverlight/2008/PilgrimageFaces/ I will start filling these in later when I have time. Any comments wecome and Enjoy!

Anyone else seen Ang Lee's most recent? 3 stars because I didn't like the ending.

Yup, level of participation would be respected all around. Larry, you have email RE: classical music discussion in the tent.
