    "The Abyss" in 4K

    James Cameron announced that "The Abyss" got a 4K remaster and will be playing in theaters starting in December. So I assume a 4K disc release will be early next year! It's been a very very very very very long wait for this.

    The Expanse

    Just saw the announcement that Universal is releasing the complete "The Expanse" on blu-ray. K-Store has seasons 1-4 (there were 6 total). I am reaaaallly hoping the remaining 2 seasons make it to the K-Store soon! It's one of the best shows I've watched in a long long time and want to complete...

    Personal movie scores

    Is there a feature anywhere where we can set our own scores for movies in K? So let's say some day I just want to sort my collection with movies I personally give 10 out of 10?

    Disney stops distributing physical media in some markets

    Disney will stop distributing physical media (blu-rays/DVDs) in some markets, starting with Australia almost immediately. I don't think further markets have been announced yet, but it's interesting...

    "Se7en" in 4K is coming

    An article on David Fincher working on restoring "Se7en" in 4K. He's tinkering, which I hate hearing. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/david-fincher-seven-4k-remastering-1235517180/?fbclid=IwAR32W3AS2UMM8YVeeBOu0dwL7JPOyM0EzQa574Cq-E9kyIo5uYeTiacVJZw

    4K titles down to 1080?

    So I sat down to watch my 4K HDR of "Patriot Games." It’s identified as 4K. But my AVR and projector say it’s a 1080 file. I tested other HDR titles - and same thing. Is there something happening with the K-Store or am I taking crazy pills? I watched a 4K movie yesterday. And nothing changed...

    Problems with Strato playback

    I've been having issues with playing from Strato for a while. (I had a thread previously.) I have a brand new JVC NZ8 projector, Marantz AV Receiver. Have swapped out HDMIs multiple times. The problem does not go away. First, I every time I power up the player/projector/AV Receiver - I get an...

    Foreign films - default language

    I don't have a lot of foreign films in my K collection (largely because K doesn't have a deep catalog of foreign titles.) But twice I've watched something, the audio defaulted to an English dub of the movie and the subtitles did not activate. Is there a setting perhaps to let films default to...

    Fury Road: HDR vs. Black & Chrome

    I discovered some confusion in how "Mad Max: Fury Road" is cataloged in K-store and then in our collections. There are two distinct versions of the movie and the store lists them separately: the original theatrical release (which is in HDR) and the version in Black & Chrome (which is in HD)...

    Star Trek: The Motion Picture pre-opening credits

    So I've never seen the original Star Trek before. Watched it today. The way K-store HDR download plays is: music over a black screen for a couple of minutes, then the Paramount logo, opening credits, film continues. While I was staring at the black screen I wasn't sure if something happened to...

    Video settings

    I'm curious what kind of settings people use for their video signal. I have a Strato. Just had my JVC 3100 projector calibrated. But each time I launch a movie in Kaleidescape (HD, UHD, HDR) it displays Filmmaker Mode. My projector was not calibrated with the Filmmaker Mode. And yet, it seems to...

    Zappiti - yay or nay?

    I've seen some people mention that they use a Zappiti player in addition to Kaleidescape. Are people generally happy with it? I'm trying to figure out how it actually works too. Zappiti does not have a disc drive in it, right? So if you back up a 4K disc on your computer, how does it get to the...

    Stacking drives

    Do you guys think it's safe to put an Alto on top of a Terra? Are there any weight issues there? I can't add another shelf but there's plenty of vertical space on the existing shelf to stack a couple of drives (and still have about a foot of empty space above).

    All HDR movies gone

    So something's weird: All HDR movies have vanished from my K menu. I sat down to watch something - and all HDR movies are gone. What's happening? I never made any sorting adjustments to my Home screen. Even if I do a search for a specific title, no HDR movies appear. Any idea what's happening?

    4K Titles on Disc But Not Available in K-Store

    I've been very curious - and a bit concerned - about all the titles coming out in 4K on disc, but not finding their way to the Kaleidescape store. So I decided to put together a complete list of titles so far. I used the web-site blu-ray.com as the source of available 4K discs, and individually...

    Terry Gilliam's "Brazil"

    I just realized that the version of Terry Gilliam's "Brazil" sold at Kaleidescape store is not Terry Gilliam's director's cut. Gilliam's version runs 142 minutes. KStore is selling a weird 132 minute version. (Which is still longer than the abominable studio version, which is 94 mins (don't ever...

    Coming Soon?

    Does Kaleidescape announce Coming Soon titles? For example, Godfather trilogy is coming out on 4K blu-ray next week. I'm not sure if I should order the discs or if Kaleidescape will have it in their store... Anybody know?
