ClaytonMG · 01-04-2008, 07:23 PM

Mpeg2? I thought Fox said most of their releases will be AVC from now on.

mel2 · 01-04-2008, 07:24 PM

That list has to be a mistake. I expect no less than 20 titles from them this quarter. remember Fox said they would put out a over 80 titles for the year.

sj001 · 01-04-2008, 07:25 PM

MPEG2, really odd, not sure I figure that one... I wonder why they would switch to a less efficient (not worst) codec?

Yeah, 6 titles in 3 months is kind of weak.

I, Robot (March 11): Authored in BD-Java using MPEG2

I'm probably in for all 4 of the ones noted above but don't understand the MPEG2 usage and 25 GB disk on Ice Age. What's up with that?

docjan_uk · 01-04-2008, 07:27 PM

Fox seems to make a bunch of mistakes vis-a-vis stating they're using MPEG 2 when infact the encodes are AVC, e.g. The Simpsons.

movies3 · 01-04-2008, 07:45 PM

cant wait to pick up the last 4 on that list

BigThree · 01-04-2008, 07:48 PM

Cant Wait for them all. Link Below the movies ar Man On Fire, Ice Age, Independence Day, I Robot, Wall Street and Me,Myseld and Irene

statikcat · 01-04-2008, 08:45 PM

Why is FOX using BD25 discs and MGPEG 2? Shouldn't that be AVC and BD50? I thought Fox was big on BD50..

DrinkMore · 01-04-2008, 08:49 PM

Ok, I know other people like some of these movies, but come on - Me, Myself and Irene???

Where the hell did that come from?? Do they just pick shit out of a hat?

Lol.

Musashi · 01-04-2008, 09:03 PM

I think most of these are actually AVC, and there will be more than that.

the_End · 01-04-2008, 09:07 PM

Probably just pick up Independence Day.

u_nick · 01-04-2008, 09:10 PM

Yay! A date for I Robot! So happy

Clark Kent · 01-04-2008, 09:15 PM

I assume if these release specs are right that these titles were prepped for release awhile ago, possibly during the great Fox silence. Or they just could be listed wrong.
