Does anyone know if any store is offering exclusives for the BB Bluray Gift Set? I've seen tons of exclusives for Gotham Knight and BB DVD Gift Set. But none for the Bluray set.

But don't worry, I got the Gift Set, too. :) What else would I buy at Best Buy though? It's not like I'm going to get a deal on anything in that store. If my friend hadn't given me a gift card I would have gotten the regular version at WHV with the discount code. |
I posted this in Movie Talk, but as it's directly applicable to Blu-ray, I'll repost it here:
Last night I got the chance to ask Christopher Nolan how he's going to handle the IMAX footage for The Dark Knight on home video. He said that for Blu-ray, the 35mm film footage will be in 2.40:1, while the IMAX footage would be at 1.77:1, which retains more of the image and also fills a 16x9 widescreen TV. |
God, the IMAX footage looks fantastic on the Blu-ray.
|
The image quality was good but I've seen much better looking blu-rays and hd-dvds. (batman begins not the imax prologue)
|
Is the Prologue encoded in MPEG-2? Also, is it in Dolby True HD? Sorry if these questions have already been answered.

The aspect ratio will bounce back and forth for The Dark Knight on Blu-ray, as it does if you see it in IMAX theaters. It's not as distracting as it sounds.
|
That is going to piss off CIH people. I wonder if they'll think to keep the subtitles within the area where the 2.39:1 frame would be.

Hopefully WB will have the exact theatrical version on the disc as well.

As for this one, it doesn't seem that jarring. |

Also, how the heck do you get Dolby TrueHD on the prologue? There's no pop-up menu once you play the prologue and I can't get it to switch to any other audio track via the remote either. :hscratch: |
Well, I certainly don't have any issue with this being presented as an option, but I still want the 2:35:1 version on there too. It may not be strictly what C. Nolan prefers - but it's what I'll see in the theaters, and what I'll be used to. I can't imagine a scenario in which switching aspect ratios wouldn't take me out of the story.
|
I think i'd rather have it the same aspect ratio all the way through.
|
I also wouldn't want to buy the Blu-Ray with switching aspect ratios.

Anybody else having a problem playing this on the Panasonic DMP-BD10A? It keeps telling me "No Disc" when I put it in. I'm going to be more than a little pissed if I spent $600 bucks on a machine 9 months ago, that is already discontinued and hasn't had a firmware update since October, that won't play new movies.
Now that I'm messing with it it's saying no disc on all my blu-ray movies, even the ones I've played with no problem in the past, but standard dvd's are playing fine. WHAT THE FUCK!!! Is this an easy fix I'm way too numb to figure out? |

Is this an easy fix I'm way too numb to figure out? Make sure that there is no disc in the tray. Leave the player on. Unplug the cable. Wait 3-4 min. Plug it back in. Insert a BR disc. A few weeks ago we had a major rainstorm in Chicago and something similar happen to my player. Pro-B |

A bad example of not changing aspect ratios is with documentaries shot in a widescreen aspect ratio that attempt to fill up the screen with older news reports (with a 4:3 ratio), which end up looking bad. Plus, the theatrical version is...yes, compromised from the original IMAX. The IMAX scenes are the definitive versions of those four scenes, and just because they're not as widely distributed as the other versions, doesn't take away from their legitimacy, which will be reflected on the Blu-ray release. |
Well, the IMAX shots should be in 1.44:1, so they will still be compromised somewhat on the BD.
This is a unique case though WRT OAR, because surely he shot the scenes knowing they would be cropped to 2.39:1 in most theaters. |
