Has any one seen picture-in-picture support BD movie disc ?

HDTV1080P · 04-18-2007, 03:51 AM

The Sony PS3 is currently the only player that supports PIP. After October 31st every BLU-RAY player manufactured is mandated by the BDA to include PIP capability.

P.S.
PIP to most people is a minor feature, picture and sound quality and a large movie selection are more imporatant issues for most people.

Dragon's Lair has PiP for the commentary. Also, to me, PiP is a non-feature, just give me the movie, as I've stated before.

So true! PiP has been around forever on basic tvs and I never used it and whenever it comes to BD...I plan on never using it!

I want the best PQ and SQ possible while watching what I bought the disc for...THE MOVIE!

Amen to that. It's all about HD movies for me; nothing more, nothing less.

I have a PS3..............Fantastic 4 is really cool with the PiP menus..............

Didn't realise that PiP was possible on the PS3. Will have to have a look.

Is that on all BD movies?

The Seamless menu feature on BD is pretty sweet. However, I don't like that it may hold up the progress of the domination of the HD market by Blu-ray

jbuttler007 · 04-18-2007, 09:36 PM

Why would anyone want to use PIP when watching a movie?

dadkins · 04-18-2007, 09:43 PM

It's all about the Picture.

PiP? No use for it!
PiP takes away from what I buy the discs for... 1080p picture.

I agree that PiP is not important at this point, but I would like to have it in the future (which we will). I want to see EVERYTHING that Blu-ray is capable of. As long as I know it's coming, I'm a happy man!

I've heard there is pseudo-PIP on a couple titles. "The Descent" is one of them. It's accomplished by including a second encode on the movie (with PIP) on the BD. Blu-Ray has the space for that sort of thing.

if PiP is what is holding alot of movies back...then they can double dip me for all I care...

even though I won't be double dipped...because I won't need that version...

PiP is a gimmick feature...

While watching a director’s commentary it would be neat to see a little picture of the director speaking, but at the same time I hope one can turn off the picture and picture while watch the director’s commentary. Some times the picture and picture can be distracting when one wants to see the movie and hear only the voice of the director. ** I hope when this PIP feature arrives on BLU-RAY that one will have the option to turn off the little picture of the director while listing to the commentary. **
