Warner's BD-Live offers downloading alternative to its streaming video problem
Popped in "The Dark Knight" tonight to see if any new extra content had been added, and there's a new bonus:
Turns out Warner has added a "WB Media Manager" feature, which allows the user to download the videos to the player's hard drive (if applicable, of course) in addition to simply streaming the video. This might be an alternative created because of the constant buffering problems with the streaming.
I downloaded the three behind-the-scenes featurettes (two on the score, the other on the sounds of the BatPod) and they play without being a small window on the screen like before. They now fill it like a regular video would.

Nice find, thanks. I imagine that the PS3 accepts downloads for this, will try to remember to check tonight when I get home.

I've only used BD-Live a few times but when I did I always downloaded the material. I didn't even know streaming was an option.

You can't do anything with it other than find out the information or delete it, but that's where the files are located.
It was the only option for Warner, which was a big problem for users because the buffering of the streaming video took forever and only buffered a few seconds of video at a time, regardless of internet speed.
