I guess we're just going to have to live with the fact that WB titles that come as combos will have TrueHD while their Blu-ray counterparts will be stuck with DD.

Isn't there ANYONE from Warner reading these forums? I thought they might have changed their attitude by now.


And they also have a 2-disc DVD edition. Why are they still pushing the HD-DVD + DVD combo format? It does nothing but jack the price up.


I've pretty much come to expect these weird business decisions from Warner, especially since these are the same people who came up with TotalHD.


Great titles, stellar quality, lousy execution.

 

[ckenisell]

I won't be getting this one. TotalHD and Warner's lackluster attitude towards Blu-Ray audio is going to take serious cash away from Warner. ID10T's!

 

[MrHunt]

Yup... I have been boycotting Warner titles because of this... I swear if they do this to Batman Begins I am going to be so pissed.

I hadn't even thought of that. Since no BD title has been released with TrueHD from any studio, I'll bet you're right and Batman gets DD+.

No good audio track= no sale. simple as that. Vote with your wallets.

Hard to tell, they never changed their DVD case no matter how many complained.

Legend of Jazz works perfectly with my PS3, and it has True HD 5.1.

Has anyone actually compared 2 WB movies on there system comparing the True-HD vs DD+, is it enought so that someones wife would be completely flabergasted by the sound compared to DD+?? Sound is definitely something that will be much more subjective then PQ. Hell you guys should be happy WB had made the switch to release on both formats, or you would be missing a lot of movies.

Yes they did. Snappers have been dead for awhile now. It did take them a LONG time though.

This is a good question. If the DD+ is encoded at 1.5 mbps, it'll sound damn good, TrueHD or not.


Last night I got my HDMI receiver and I am SO GLAD to get my uncompressed audio back. I skipped through Silent Hill just to make myself cry from the exquisite and overpowering beauty of it. It also looks better on the PS3 which I was happy to see.

We're still missing a lot of movies. If they give all of the Blu-Ray movies this TotalHD treatment, I'm just going to go ahead and consider them an HD-DVD only format and not buy their movies as though they didn't even support Blu-Ray. This really is starting to piss me off!

 

[Kris Deering]

Well being that Warner hasn't even encoded the DD soundtracks at 1.5MBps I wouldn't wait for that either. It is really a shame that Warner doesn't add TrueHD or at least PCM support. With BD50's it shouldn't be a problem. Paramount is in a similar boat. Their HD DVD releases are all 1.5MBps DD+ soundtracks while their BD releases are limited to 640KBps DD.

Simple question... will this be a BD-25 release? Maybe Warner dropped the track because they didn't have enough space on a BD-25 compared to a HD-30 HD DVD.

Superman returns was a BD-50 with 20 extra Gigs empty and they didn't port it to that either.


Supposedly the specs for TrueHD are different for HD DVD and BD and that's why they aren't porting them over.

 

[mrigsby]

I'm afraid that not buying during a format war wil lsend the message that Blu Ray has a smaller base than HD DVD, not that you don't like the audio.

 

[ckenisell]

No, I will buy other studios that support Blu-Ray the way they should. Their numbers will be high enough to show Warner that what they are doing is screwing up. Keep in mind, I'm not buying HD-DVDs either. They won't get my dollar until they support Blu-Ray properly. Hands down.

Well I'm buying the HD DVD, so I guess I just cancelled your vote.

Yup go on and do that, I will be happily watching the Harry Potter and Matrix series in HD while you sit out on it.
