Are the Columbia/Tri-Star Superbit titles really any better then the standard releases and if so why?
Yes they are noticeable better then the standard release. Suberbits also include a DTS soundtrack which is always better then the Dolby Digital. With the Suberbits all extras are removed from the disk to make more room for the video and the DTS soundtrack. This results in a higher bit rate for the video which translates directly into a better picture. 2: How long is the break in period for DVD players. I have heard anything from a few hours to several days. A: A DVD player or any other solid state electronic does not have a break in period. Only mechanical devices (speakers, tube amps, etc) have a break in period.
