Ok thanks guys.......looks very promising :) I just saw that my copy of V For Vendetta is shipping so i'm trying your tips on that one first.

I think they covered the "pissed off parents" base with the PS3's pricetag.

Regardless, they are hitting bandwidth limitations with HD DVD. Making VC-1 more efficient is one solution, but if a company doesn't want to release on VC-1, what is their option? |

This seems to be a case of something simply being a bit easier to do on BD. They seem to have it figured out for the HD DVD of MI3 with no major issues. |

For example, he told me that Corpse Bride bitrate was set higher on purpose even though he believed that it could have been lower with the same result. They played it safe for their first stop motion animation title. So, it sounds like there is room for now. And, in the future, with the tools getting better, it will change even more. |
I imagine its why you don't see lossless audio on many releases, because the VC-1 peaks are too high.

As you can see so far, the WB releases on BD have an equivalent soundtrack. AND, the IME plays even when the TrueHD soundtrack is selected. As darkside said, your trying to make this into an issue when its really not right now. |
To get us back on track... Any more reviews? I really want to see a comparison between BD and HDDVD

Paramount was going to sit back in a limited role and see what happened with the HD market so it's nice to hear they are going forward in 2007 with more titles planned. Sounds like they are bullish finally.

They risk the success of their main cash cow by making the PS3 obscenely expensive from the inclusion of an unnecessary BR drive betting on strong interest in high definition movies, but figure not enough people are concerned with high definition content to warrant including the HD cables by default? Which is it, Sony? But if they are indeed aiming for failure, making sure a sizable majority of PS3 owners see no difference between their new composite-connected BluRay movies and good old DVDs, is a truly clever strategy. :lol: |

I have both versions in my queue, but won't be receiving them until the end of the week. |

Glad to hear they aren't alterting the approved masters with encoding.

Interesting interview. I haven't seen Blu-ray myself, so I can't call bullshit on quite a bit of what they're saying, but it seems to contradict what even many of the most staunch Blu-ray supporters have been saying. Intriguing that no one else -- no one on any message boards and no amateur or professional reviewers -- are seeing these amoeba-like artifacts crawling all over backgrounds on HD DVD titles.
Gotta give it up to Peter for asking the questions HD enthusiasts would most want to hear. It reads more like a real journalistic piece instead of the usual fluffy backpatting you see on a lot of website interviews. |
I got it for 49.97 shipped from Bestprices

Sorry, but the bullshit in that article was too deep for me. They are the ones responsible for most of the really horrible HD transfers and they act like we all can't calibrate a monitor. I would hate to even try and separate the half truths from the out right lies in that interview.

My favorite is Eklund's assertion that MPEG-2 is better (or as good as) VC-1 for the consumer because it doesn't allow Microsoft to circumvent patents. I actually had to read that line twice.
