Disney's first Blu-ray titles specs reveiled

[Dave]

Disney's first Blu-ray discs are launching today and the specs revealing a spilt down the middle. Half of the group, Dinosaur and Jay and Silent Bob, are encoded in Blu-rays fav: MPEG-2. The other half, consisting of Eight Below and The Great Raid, utilize MPEG-4/AVC. Just like the norm, all of the discs gets 5.1 PCM 5.1 surround tracks but Dinosaur gets a DTS 5.1 track. We aren't quite sure that the MPEG-4 option will convince anyone to pick up those two lackluster discs, but it is an interesting move. Now we are wondering if the rest of the Disney titles will come out on MPEG-4 discs?
