A Mighty Heart (HD-DVD)
On January 23, 2002, Mariane Pearl's world changed forever. Her husband Daniel, South Asia bureau chief for the Wall Street Journal, was researching a story on shoe bomber Richard Reid. The story drew them to Karachi where a go-between had promised access to an elusive source. As Danny left for the meeting, he told Mariane he might be late for d...

And the floodgates start to open. Woo-hoo!

A Mighty Heart stumbled a bit at the box office (not too shocking for a small, serious drama during the summer), but it had positive reviews overall:

great news,thank you.

BOOM! This movie is supposed to be outstanding!

PCM 5.1 uncompressed audio.: I guess we'd see why the Blu-side likes this so much.

Enything BR can do so can HD DVD? PCM 5.1 uncompressed :D
I honestly can't tell the diffrence between DTHD & PCM uncompressed.

Agreed, and I have some pretty nice speakers (B & W 700 series.)

hopefully the PCM is a trend setter for them. ahem... TRANSFORMERS WITH PCM or TrueHD?!

Pcm :)

5.1 PCM instead of TrueHD? Talk about a waste of space and bandwidth.

Agreed. But I'd like to see just one title with 5.1 PCM so it can be thrown in Blu-Ray's face.

I just want to see what all the fuss is about.

I hope a 30GB disc can handle the PCM track. Then again, with VC-1 or AVC compression, that shouldn't be a problem.

Does anyone know for sure if this title will have a 5.1 PCM track? There are some sites that details it having DD+ and TrueHD, but no mention of PCM....

thanks a.holck! was going to buy this if it did, but i guess it doesn't...

5.1 PCM instead of TrueHD? Talk about a waste of space and bandwidth.Heh! But it sure proves that HD DVD is not short on space! :D

But at least HD DVD wasn't *forced* to use PCM because the player specs didn't require TrueHD decoding... like that other format...

TrueHD and PCM would sound the same anyway, as we know. If it does turn out to be TrueHD, rather than PCM, I'll still be just as happy.

But I'm sure there'll be a BD campaign to buy the DVD version instead because there is no PCM :rolleyes: :p

:confused:

TrueHD = PCM

:confused:

TrueHD = PCM
Yeah, on top of this when you consider HD DVD players internally transcode into PCM for output, every HD DVD has PCM in a "roundabout way." :p

Did anyone get this title yet??

Would like to know how the PQ and AQ are? I'm really looking forward to this one for some reason.

I have it and will watch it tonight. Watching Inside Man now.

So it has TrueHD instead of PCM, thats good. Save the additional space for some bonus features.

Cool, looking forward to hearing about both from you.
