...DVD with a S-VHS cable linked to your TV brings the clearest TV Screen I've ever seen outside of High Definition TV.

...Whatever problems you are having seeing .."WE WERE SOLDIERS".. or its Message...

...the fault's not with the DVD itself, believe me.

...What I'm seeing at home beats the theater version of .."WE WERE SOLDIERS".. weapons down.

I wasn't speaking on the message here, only the DVD transfer. There's a great amount of skill involved in transferring film to digital for DVD. Some films are good, some are bad.

Examples of good, X-Men, Se7en, any of the Bond DVD's, Blackhawk Down, Terminator 2, Fellowship of the Ring (the best I've ever seen, by the way), Braveheart, and A Beautiful Mind. Bad ones would be Maverick (the worst I've seen on a modern movie), any of the Batman movies, and most movies made before 1970.

Some studios are better than others. Warner Bros. DVD's are the worst on the market, barring The Matrix, and New Line Cinema are the best (IMO).

I just feel that the transfer on WWS could have used a little more work.

And yes, any DVD beats the theater version by a longshot.
