Beowulf Blu-ray gets lossless sound - Blu-ray Forum

Iron Man · 02-07-2008, 06:14 PM

BACK OF HD-DVD VERSION:

Specs for European WARNER release includes TrueHD

Need to say more

ClaytonMG · 02-07-2008, 06:30 PM

Wasn't TrueHD announced with this title? Apparently, once again (and this seems to happen A LOT which really makes me kind of angry, even though I don't support HD DVD) they decided not to include the ANNOUNCED lossless audio track.

booksy · 02-07-2008, 06:42 PM

Well that is the unfortunate thing about HD-DUD. Not enough room to fit lossless tracks. True HD is OMG now only if sony will update the PS3 to support DTS Master I will be in heaven.

This is a surprise? Paramount has a thing for 1.5Mbps Dolby Digital Plus on HD DVD. Just like Transformers and, uh, Blades of Glory.

goodstuff · 02-07-2008, 07:19 PM

Yeah, it's the DD+ is the best they could do space-wise for the DUD. Lossless wasn't going to be an issue for the BD versions (e.g. Blades of Glory). Unlike that other format, BD can do lossless and HD extras at the same time.

Sweet, glad I preordered the UK BR.

kubrick · 02-07-2008, 10:11 PM

At least it should be region free if its warner so that everyone outside the UK can enjoy.

iwanttobeabmoviestar · 02-07-2008, 10:22 PM

but will it have all the extras inc pip that the hdded has if so ill import but if not ill wait for us release with extras

dustin410 · 02-07-2008, 10:58 PM

Are the UK Blu-ray cases the same as the ones here in the States? Colour/dimensions, etc.?

Joon · 02-07-2008, 10:58 PM

Just ordered my copy from amazon.uk. $35 American dollars shipped. Kinda steep, but I want this movie. I know it will eventually be released in the US, but what is one title imported?

Aelun · 02-08-2008, 08:19 AM

The cases are the same colour but they are generally the fatter ones, there are some exceptions to the case sizes though, sometimes we do get the slim ones.

jw · 02-08-2008, 08:35 AM

might have to place another order

richieb1971 · 02-08-2008, 08:43 AM
