Check us out on the latest episode of HD Nation
We make it no secret that our favorite video podcast is HD Nation on Revision3, so you can imagine how honored we were to be invited on to record a few segments on the CES 2010 episode, which included the new Ceton and Silicon Dust CableCARD tuners as well as our new found passion for 3D HDTVs. The entire episode is great as always, but just to make things simple we've embedded the aforementioned segments after the break.
Don't miss this video of Martin Scorsese gushing over Blu-ray at Blu-Con
Have you always wanted to go to Blu-con but never made it? Us either, but our friends at HD Nation did and shot some great HD footage which includes some interesting tidbits about transferring movies to Blu-ray. The highlight is listening to Martin Scorsese talk excitedly about transferring classics to Blu-ray, where he discusses things like the factors that influence him to modify audio and video. A great example is where he talks about upgrading the mono audio from Taxi Driver by going back to the original stereo score and mono dialog and remastering for the first time ever. So if you always wondered why some get so excited about seeing classics on Blu-ray, or you just can't get enough Blu-ray, don't hesitate to check it out.
Revision3 takes on our favorite topic with HD Nation
We were big TechTV fans back before it was killed by Comcast and swallowed by G4, and like most old TechTV fans, we're very fond of the work being done by Revision3. But starting this week we became even bigger fans since the online video network launched a new show on our favorite topic. The twenty minute episode is hosted by Patrick Norton and Robert Heron with the first episode covering some of their favorite Blu-ray demo material, as well as the HDTV calibration discs and 240hz LCD TVs -- so yeah good stuff. Overall we were impressed and look forward to them diving into some deeper topics down the road. And yes, of course it is available in HD.
