jarhfive Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Hello, Is it my imagination? Do all movies TCM broadcasts now end with the Sony blue (and white) screen? Note that I mean all (well, nearly all) TCM broadcast movies--not just the movies owned by Sony and leased by TCM. Does Sony and TCM have an agreement? Something like--we (TCM) adds your logo to the end of all our movie broadcasts, you lower lease costs on your movies? If I am imagining the frequency of Sony logo broadcast, then--never mind. If I am not imagining the frequency of Sony logo broadcast, then I wish they would change that dah...dah..dah...dahhh electronic sound (I won't call it music).

CineSage_jr Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 It's only used for Sony/Tri-Star films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarhfive Posted April 2, 2006 Author Share Posted April 2, 2006 CineSage jr, Thank you for the reply. I noticed the "Sony" screen while transferring several movies from a HDD to DVD. The 'batch' of movies (I transferred) must of been (TCM leased) "Sony" library material. Maybe, I am hallucinating. Hallucinating not out of the question.

FredCDobbs Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 Do you have a new Sony DVD? Maybe what you are seeing is the image generated on your TV screen by your Sony DVD recorder after you've stopped recording. Mine generates a constant Sony blue screen if there is no DVD playing or being recorded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stargzn Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 I was confused as to what was meant by the Sony 'blue' screen, but today, at the end of Born Yesterday...there it was. Well, this explains a lot. It may be common knowledge to many on these boards, but I have been disappointed with some broadcasts on TCM, lately. Many movies have some sort of spots and/or edging of gray-out (for lack of a better word), on what should otherwise be glorious Technicolor (or other process). Maybe it is necessary to abandon original prints for digital dvd broadcast to today's tvs, but it doesn't make me happy. Some months ago, I watched my burned dvd of Nelson and Jeannette's 'Sweethearts', and was miffed to see 'gray-out' come and go, especially on their faces. I figured it was just my burner. I watched TCM's rebroadcast of 'Sweethearts' last month, and noticed it was, indeed, on TCM's copy. Too bad. Yea, this is progress. : ( (Most prints are transferred beautifully. I just wish they all were.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
