Tomorrow Never Dies | Location: | Beginning |
| Features: | guns, rockets, snowy mountain scene, jet planes | | Description: | Although it isn't my favorite movie, it makes a nice demo for DVD. Since the beginning movie credits don't start until about 7 or 8 minutes into the movie you just pop it in, and select wide or standard screen. There is good mountain scenes, gunfire and explosions that rock the house, then as the introduction starts Sheryl Crows theme song ads a nice touch to the demo. | |

Tomorrow Never Dies (Bond) | Location: | Opening Scene |

Toy Story 1 | Location: | DVD Intro |
| Features: | THX Sound DEMO | | Description: | This is the best 5.1 demo ever. At the beginning of the DVD, they start the THX sound intro; just a little bit into it the sound stops and the flying robot has to fix it. He clanks with a hammer, flies past your right ear, goes behind you to your left ear, and back to the front. Short and sweet but very cool. | |

Toy Story 2 | Location: | Opening Scene |
| Features: | Bass, 3D effects. | | Description: | This is just plain fun. The opening where the huge text blocks explode past you will scare people right out of their chairs, and the scene with buzz flying into the planet is awesome (I love the music). This is basically a five minute demo that will definitely impress. | |
