U-571 and Hollywoodland on Blu-ray in Japan - Blu-ray Forum

Josh · 11-26-2007, 03:36 PM

U-571 will be February 1st
Hollywoodland February 20th

Both Universal/HD DVD exclusive in US.

Region A coded (same as US).

On a side note, the Region B U-571 release is region free, so if you wish to import from jolly old England, it'll work fine.

Are these just HD DVD ports on a BLU disc or are they special encodes, extras, etc?

I just wait for the Universal Blu-Ray versions, hopefully in late 2008.

Well if they're from BVHE in Japan, I'd go for the imports.
Watching the Universal logo on Bruce Almighty in AVC/MPEG-4 clocking 35+ Mbps for bitrate gave me quite a chuckle.

Do you know if this will have a lossless track? This movie deserves a lossless track!

Yeah, it'll have TrueHD and use AVC according to AV Watch: http://www.watch.impress.co.jp/av/do...71126/gaga.htm . Not sure if it'll be encoded for Blu-Ray bandwidth or not, though.

jd213 · 11-27-2007, 12:36 AM

And I see that Sahara is a Paramount title, so that'll be another title available as a BD import.

Hahahaha. Good stuff.

SlmShdy1 · 11-27-2007, 12:42 AM

Sahara is already out on BD.

jd213 · 11-27-2007, 12:46 AM

Ah, OK. I don't think I've ever even heard of the movie until today.

They're the old bd from Paramount. I have seen them too in stores.

There is a feeling that U-571 Japan is 1.85 instead of 2:35. Can anyone confirm?

kage99.

confirmation:
it's 1.85 - Open Matte, so you loose nothing.
