Advantages: Awesome sound and picture quality Disadvantages: None, none at all
The Matrix was undoubtedly the coolest film of 1999... It is also a film that was made for DVD, the crisper image quality and infinitely better sound that DVD's are capable of make watching the Matrix on DVD far far better than on video.
I don't think it's necessary to describe the film...if you haven't seen it then watch it right now... original, stylish, ground breaking special effects, great soundtrack and ultimately very cool.
The main reason for this article is to highlight the advantages of buying it on DVD as opposed to video...other than what I've already mentioned the DVD is packed with features...icluding an extended version of the making of (longer than on the video) and also a neat little function called Follow the White Rabbit.
By activating this you can watch the film and every time the white rabbit appears you ...

About the camera
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This camera is very good for recording home videos, what makes it a good buy is the fact that there is no wasting time when you want to play back things that you have recorded. The things you record can also be played in surround sound, if you know any thing about sound there is a considerable difference in quality. When you record with this it automatically recorded in DV format. There is also a good quality picture when you record, in comparison to the video kind of camcorders, and of course the picture wont jump while playing! The camera is made by Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar which doesn't mean anything to me but if it helps anybody there it is!
What it can do ...
this is a fantastic compilation of videos by one of the greatest metal bands of all time. if you are a metallica fan or a metal fan of any kind, i guarantee you will absolutely love this dvd. it has awesome videos of the band playing several of their greatest hits either live or the original music videos. my favorite video was 'One'. all their live performances are amazing, the sound and picture quality are both very high and very satisfactory. this is a must have for all metallica fans and is definitely one of my favorite metal dvds. the footage of their live performances is amazing, they have lots of different camera angles and to be honest, metallica has always been amazing at live performances. ...

DVD Description
Used to be your TV was a box that plugged in and maybe you had to fiddle with the antennae a little to get the picture right. Now digital TV systems - plasma screens, high definition TV and home theater systems, etc. - offer such a wealth of options and extras, it almost seems you have to have an advanced degree in technology to run them properly. DIGITAL VIDEO ESSENTIALS breaks it all down into a comprehensive, step-by-step instructional package that you can play on your screen as you properly calibrate and set up your system. Why bother sinking money into your system if you, for example, can't properly balance colors on the screen
