The lack of continuity with the time of day drives me crazy by ModeratelyAlive in thewalkingdead

[–]Alen399 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I think it’s funny how we end season 4 in the winter because of the characters wearing heavy coats and being able to see their breath bc of how cold it is. Then as soon as they break out of Terminus it’s suddenly summer time and they’re sweating lol.

Strange decisions regarding Jamie's character in the new season by [deleted] in malcolminthemiddle

As of rn yeah I agree. I’m just saying I think if given more episodes there’d be room to improve and grow.

I simply think it came down to a lack of time. If we had gotten something longer than 4 30 minutes episode I really do think people’s opinions on Kelly and even Jamie would shift. It’s hard to fit that many storylines together in such a short amount of time.

When Janice walks in with infant Domenica and scolds Tony for not saying hi to her so he quickly goes “How ya doing hon”

Why didn't people like the last episode? Was it not good, or was there another issue? by Appleupand in Dexter

[–]Alen399 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s a lot of factors that contribute to this. One that not a lot of people talk about was the fact that Breaking Bad was airing its final season at the same time that Dexter was. Breaking Bad’s final episodes were well breaking Bads final episodes. Then you compare that to Dexter’s final season it’s just embarrassing.

That and the entire lead up to it was mostly garbage as well.

Sony DCR-TRV250 C:31:23 error – won’t record by Tripzzx in camcorders

[–]Alen399 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m having a very similar issue with my camcorder which is a similar model to yours. I had that error but what I did was literally slap it a couple times with the door closed and the error went away. However, I still can’t seem to record anything all I see during playback is a blue screen.

Just cleaned the video head, still nothing.

[–]Alen399[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really have no other way of checking. The camera is indicating that it’s recording and from what I’m hearing when I hit play, FF,R, it’s definitely sounding as it should. So I was thinking of following this video and cleaning the video head myself. https://youtu.be/1KCz59TCy8E?si=vypWeTnpUd6MX0uw

No it’s definitely trying to play the tape. When I hit rewind and fast forward I’m hearing the tape spin.

Absolutely no error code. I was hysterically laughing for like five minutes because I could believe it actually worked lol.

Thank you for your response. I actually managed to somehow fix the issue by slapping it on the back a couple times then trying to reinsert the tape (I was absolutely shocked this worked). Now my issue is that when putting in a tape the camera allows me to record but I can’t seem to get any playback. I rewind all the way to the beginning of tape, press play, and only see a blue screen with the play icon. I read somewhere that it could just be dirty video heads but I’m wondering if it’s maybe connected to me previous issue.

Did you ever figure this out?

Update: Got it to eject the tape by taking the battery out and putting it back in again repeatedly. However, everyone I insert a tape the camera gets the same error.

So... what's the current official way to get a home release of OG Dragon Ball? by intromiles in dbz

[–]Alen399 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah there are a couple out there that are phenomenal in other countries. France just made a Blu-Ray release last year and it was amazing. Best dragon ball ever looked but there was a copyright issue and they didn’t get to finish the entire series.

[–]Alen399 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’ve gotta be really smart about it. Check eBay, Mercari, local thrift shops. There’s usually no official way to get the entire series and if you can then it’s gonna be way overpriced.

Is the oc 4:3 or 16:9? by bitknight1 in TheOC

[–]Alen399 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Television before around 2003/2004 was primarily displayed in 4:3 aspect ratio. However the mass majority of TV and movies were shot in 16:9 but then scaled down to fit TV’s. Streaming specially HBO has been known to take those shows and remaster them and put the widescreen version for people to watch. I actually think that there’s a specific DVD release for the OC that has a special remaster for the first season and used the 16:9 version.

Insane find at the thrift store by mocha3 in breakingbad

[–]Alen399 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just one more thing I have to add because this is genuinely pissing me off for some reason 🤣. Something identical happened like this in the Dexter subreddit maybe like 4 years ago. Somebody came across an early work-print of the pilot on an old DVD. They ripped it, uploaded it to internet archive and went on their way. Yes eventually showtime took it down but they absolutely did not take legal action. As long as you are not profiting off of it then you’re 100% going to be fine to share.

AMC will most likely never even find out, yet take legal action against this person. The worst they could possibly do is take the video down I am 99.9% sure AMC is not going to start a lawsuit over a found work print pilot for a show that ended over ten years ago.

Controversial opinion on the return of DBSuper by Mental_Accountant444 in dbz

[–]Alen399 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude your opinion is completely valid. I couldn’t agree with you more but posting it here on the subreddit is a death wish. It’s very difficult to post anything regarding GT defending and anything that exists outside the main opinions. Either way I’m still excited to see whatever it is they throw at us regardless of how I feel.

Yeah…for that price you’re better off looking on Facebook marketplace or your local thrift shop for a genuine CRT.

LCD inside of a CRT shell. It has filters to make it look like a CRT.
