ey up corsasporters 
Parents just bought a high definition telly and we need a high definition film to play on it to see what it's capable of (the demo instore looked pretty damn good).
None of the movies i have are high definition, on play.com there are 'superbit' movies that i think are high definition, is this right?
Anyone know of any others that are available?
Cheers

i thought that it was the contrast ratio too 
All i know is it is HD Ready and that's it. Presumably though to play an HD (or superbit) movie I would need an HD DVD player?

I think thats bullshit.
Sky however will start broadcasting HDTV next year if you have their service, normal TV on the other hand is going to go 'Digital' first, they will cut off the old analogue channels ever so slowly so we all convert to Digital. 
America are currently in the middle of getting HDTV everywhere.

I downloaded some HD movie clips off the microsoft site and played them through the laptop using the DVI input on the back of the telly. They looked stunning!
Just want some proper films to test out now...

didn't think they were.
High Definition was mentioned in their description though.
Apparently one of the Star Wars films is in HD and one of the Matrix films is as well. I have looked on the back of all six cases and can't see anything that indicates HD.

must be the wording. they are higher definition than a regular DVD as they're sampled at a higher encoding rate but they're not High Definition like you're talking about

HD-DVD and Blue Ray should be out next year.
They won't be cheap at the start though.
PS3 will have blue ray and then you should be able to get some nice hi-def films to watch.

well as you know my parents bought an LG High Definition TV last week. Thing is all they watch is Eastenders and the fishing channel
My dad has been going on about how he'd like to see what it can really do. Are there any movies out there that would look better than standard? Ie those superbit ones?

I don't think any dvd's support high def atm.
Just can't fit it onto a normal dvd.
The games for the xbox 360 will support high def.
Could try and convince him to buy you one for that.

the Xbox 360 does not support High Def playback. There is talk that a revised 360 will come out halfway through 2006 which will support it. I looked at that on the microsoft site.
I'm aware that you can't play hd dvds on a standard player
thanks John
