On a whim, I searched the Hammer Films website to see if THE WITCHES (DEVIL'S OWN) was on blu-ray yet. I used to have the Hammer Collection laserdisc, but hadn't been curious about a newer format until seeing that Dracula release notice. Scream Factory has one?

I am surprised and intrigued. Is this a sign? Warner Bros Home Entertainment sent an announcement for the release of UNTAMED Season 1 on DVD, October 25. This is a new WB series, on Netflix. I'm not sure I've seen a WB owned season DVD release for a Netflix series since LUCIFER, Season 4, 5, an 6

Ran into an interesting bug(?) in DaVinci Resolve 20.3.3 I generate & edit subtitles for the YouTube videos. This week, with more apps in the background than usual, I've noticed the generated subtitles are not capitalizing "I". It's new, unusual and I have no idea why, other than memory? Thoughts?

Finally tracked down my copy of THE THING EXPANDED. I say "tracked down" because CreatorVC's carrier, UniUni, delivered it half a mile away, not to my address. This is the THIRD CreatorVC order UniUni failed to deliver to me. Delivery pic included GPS location, or it might've been lost forever.

Okay, not just my player. Something's very wrong with Disc 1 of A KNIGHT OF THE SEVEN KINGDOMS 4K UHD (thanks to HBO Home Video for sending a review copy) Disc 1 does not display a background image, Disc 2 does.

Same! Back then, I had no idea it had been released on DVD until I learned they may have been sold out. Then 2 years later, I found a copy buried in the racks at a Fry's Electronics, and was overjoyed for months! A few years ago you could still buy copies on Amazon, guess they weren't sold out 🤣

Something weird is going on with Live TV on Prime Video. Watching on TV via Roku, after an hour shows will slowly fall out of sync, with video falling 3-5 seconds behind the audio. Doesn't happen with live programming via MLB Network and Vix Premium subscriptions. Doesn't happen on iPad. Why?
