[MitchR]

It's 7.1 DTS HD-MA


They also got the AR wrong, it's 1.78:1 instead of 1.85:1

 

[RBFC]

Blu-Ray.com also says 7.1 DTS Master Audio.

Damn... I was hoping for PCM. Even Lionsgate says its PCM!

Oh well... thanks!

I'm I reading this right? Is this the first profile 2.0 BD? Wow, I didn't think they would be coming out this soon.

What happens if you own a Playstation3 and you pop this movie in? Will it even play?


I seriously doubt my PS3 is 2.0 compliant.

Yes, you just will have DTS core sound. Profile 2.0 just gives you Internet access to some extra content. The disc will play in Profile 1.0 and 1.1 players too.

Do you really think they would release a movie that doesn't play on any players?

It wouldn't be the 1st time a new title is released requiring a firmware update to play properly... don't be such an ass.

Lets get together and make a 5.0 compliant disc! It will be blank of course, but no one will ever know...

We'll make millions!

Just having some fun...

I'll pick this up as a blind buy. I bought the other 3 Saw movies as blind buys and liked them.

 

[Krycek7o2]

If only the PS3 had MA decoding...

I am seriously considering getting a Stand Alone Blu player.

 

[GizmoDVD]

Anyone have this yet? Does it have a slip cover like Saw III?


Also, since this has 2.0 profile features, we should expect an update tomorrow then, right?

 

[AJP69]

I have a question about the video, is this mpeg2 like the other 3 saw's or did they use h264 or vc-1

 

[Acturbo]

Has anyone picked this up yet that can give us a PQ/AQ review?

 

[jkwest]

this is a Saw movie...it won't have reference video quality at all...but, thats why these are great movies...I love gritty horror flicks.


I am really surprised Lionsgate went without a PCM track..they have been the leading edge lately.

 

[AJP69]

Ok well I picked this up last night. I flipped through it a bit but havent actually sat down and watched. Video quality is very similar to the previous Saw movies. This time they used h264 as the codec instead of mpeg2 thank god. Also the movie is on a single layer BD-25. The movie is very grity but overall I think it looks very good. Below are direct screen captures from the source disc (I can take them from any point in the movie if anyone wants)


I can't give an honest answer about audio quality as it is 7.1 and I have a 5.1 system. Also since I use a PC for playback I only get the 1.5mbps DTS core of the DTS-HD master. What I did hear sound good in my book though.
