[What'sHD]

The studios have got their acts together by now.


I predict there will be some green faces when BD50 movies are released by exclusive studios with advanced codecs.


BD50 = acres of space

Exclusive studios = Encoded to maximal-needed BD specs

Advanced codecs = Heaven at high BD bitrates

How about we wait to see if the studios/Sony get a clue first. So far VC-1 encodes on BR have been identical in every way to HD DVD.

 

[What'sHD]

I am not claiming all of the BD50 with advanced codec will be un-frikkin-believable but I reckon 10-20% of them will set a new standard in overall PQ and AQ for High Def in 2007.


The FINEST PQ ever seen on a consumer display.. thats what its going to be. Cant wait.

 

[H9K_]

2007 will be a great year of HD indeed. And hopefully the end of this silly war.

I think that the new Bond movie "Casino Royale" (supposed to be AVC, 50GB, coming in March ...) is going to be a major water-shed event for BD.

Yeah, being a Sony picture I think they are gonna try to nail this one home. After that the next one would be Spiderman III Holidays 2007.

KOH was really good but I'm not sure if it was AVC/VC1

It's MPEG-2.

I guess the real question here is:

Do the studios actually have plans to utilize all of a BD50?

As it now stands, the current disks have a great deal of space not being used.


It seems to me that TV series, etc., can really benefit from BD50.


I also would like to see studios put various versions of a movie on one disk with seamless branching and allowing the viewer to select the desired version.

Intresting releases by Sony will be:


January 30, 2007 Open Season (Blu-ray) 1080p/AVC MPEG-4


March 13, 2007 Casino Royale (Blu-ray) 1080p/AVC MPEG-4

 

[Gary Murrell]

nope no better image or audio quality, that would be too perfect

they will pile them full of E! documentaries and fluff garbage

[What'sHD]

My fears exactly.


Listen up, Sony, disney and fox.. bring on the best PQ ever seen at home and That is how you will convincingly sell BD (over HD) to videophiles.

 

[oink]

I'm afraid you guys may be right.

Attn. Hollywood: if you want us to change from DVD to BD, then you must make sure that the highest possible bit-rates are used for BD.

 

[What'sHD]

Well, I love my high def. So, I will buy regardless.


But still, listen up, studios:


I have an add-on and (will have) plenty of games to play on my PS3.

Am I making myself clear?

(hint hint)

Casino Royale, Spider-Man, and Pirates should all look fantastic on BR. Oh yeah, and how could I forget, TRANSFORMERS!! That movie is going to look freaking AMAZING!!

Not the bitrates.....but the best CODECS with the bitrate set the highest it NEEDS to be. There is a point where you will get nothing but a bigger file.

I agree.....hopefully Casino Royale will be great!! Also, bring me great transfers of Spiderman 1 and 2, the first 2 x-men and pirates of the caribbean (both) and I'll be a happy camper!!
