Will profile 1.1 be ready in time? - Blu-ray Forum

CptGreedle · 10-30-2007, 04:35 PM

We are down to the last day here. If I remember correctly, BD-j is suppose to be "released" on Oct 31st. And yet I have heard nothing about any firmware upgrades to enable it, and titles like T3 are avoiding it.
Is this going to (or already been) delayed? Will it be ready tomorrow or will we have to wait longer? If so, when?

I guess we'll have to wait until tomorrow and see. If time stops and the earth goes dark, we know why!

you mean profile 1.1 right?

I thought all blu-ray players supported BD-j. Isn't that what Pirates, the Fantastic Four 2, etc. are using?

its not that there is something that has to be ready, its just a series of specifications that must be set and all players after 10/31 must abide by.

Yah I am assuming he means profile 1.1

CptGreedle · 10-30-2007, 04:42 PM

Not FULL BD-j. Yes, profile 1.1, aka full BD-j.
The mini-games on pirates, et al. are not taking advantage of full BD-j which will give BD the ability to do things like access the internet, add PiP, etc.

In short, I mean will profile 1.1 be on any players on Oct 31st? No announcement on upgrades yet from what I hear.
And why IS T3 using branching and not BD-j for the PiP?

Becaue thanks to the HD DVD encode they have plenty of room and it works on all players

CptGreedle · 10-30-2007, 04:55 PM

Good point. Didn't think of it that way.
Now everyone with any BD player can enjoy the PiP on T3 even without profile 1.1. I suppose the HD-DVD camp laughing at it lacking 1.1 are just ignorant (again).
