I'm still a little unhappy Warner decided not to re-do the HD DVD encode. Universal is doing it on movies that definitely won't sell as well(the Mummy). The Dark Knight better be the best reference Blu-ray ever to make up for it.

Batman Begins was heavily filtered by WB that removed all the high frequency details. Be prepared to bash it once it's out on Blu-ray unless Warner does a new encode.

The HD DVD looked great. Not amazing but great. From what I remember I would give it a solid 4 star rating.

So is there any word about a possible new encode yet?

It's not re-encoded. That's why I'm hoping someone can figure out a way to rip the Prologue from it and post a torrent of it in PS3-compatible MP4.

No need to wait until then, anybody who has seen the disappointing HD DVD effort knows exactly what we're getting

Thanks Warner

It will look incredible, judging by the high def Quicktime trailers so far for it. I think the Prologue with the Batman Begins Blu-ray should give us a good idea of how TDK will look on Blu-ray. Pfister's cinematography looks even better than it did the first time around with Batman Begins so as long as WB doesn't screw up the transfer, it should look amazing.

You are dead wrong. Warner have to change the resolution on the BB cover art from 1920x1080p to 1280x720p.

WTF are you talking about? I'm talking about TDK, which so far looks amazing as far as the high def trailers go.

Or perhaps he could use the quote feature.

Oh, and for the record I think the BB HD DVD looks great. I'd put it on par with my National Treasure Blu-ray for instance.

Ummm once again...how can my opinion be wrong???

Me thinking it looked great is neither fact or fiction simply my opinion. Let people decide for themselves your forceful obnoxious attitude towards people who are fine with HD DVD ports is getting rather annoying.

You have no idea what I am talking about. Dig through the threads or ask Wicky.

He was talking about this: http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showt...&#post10992260

Many discs are 720p quality despite being encoded as 1080p. I don't think they should be listed as 720p on the back, but studios should definitely own up and remaster and/or re-encode the ones that deserve it, like Batman Begins.

Based on some of his other posts, this I agree with

mredman · 06-20-2008, 04:11 AM

All Blu's and HD-DVD is 1080p right now and they still release in that format.
So when do you think they will start releasing in 1280p

gamer4eva · 06-20-2008, 06:17 AM

hang on does this mean the extras will be in SD
if yes then

TauHeel05 · 06-19-2008, 10:12 PM

On Blu-ray, July 8.

'The Dark Knight' Prologue is in 1080p!!! I can't wait!

mredman · 06-19-2008, 10:50 PM

This is a must buy for sure

jd213 · 06-20-2008, 04:07 AM

I don't see anything about pixel counting, it's comparing the level of detail.
