Training Day (Blu-ray Vs. HD DVD) - Blu-ray Forum

zombie · 07-30-2006, 11:21 PM

According to someone in this thread who did a side by side comparison the quality is about equal despite the BD using MPEG2. This is a very interesting development IMO.

Very interesting.

As the thread says the Samsung doesn't have a button to show you data rates and codecs, basic Blu ray the sammy init, are people 100% sure it's MPEG2?

Sweet. Order that one today.

I love to be the one to say, "I TOLD YA SO" much a do about nothing.

Sony didn't become the king of Video by being stupid, and this and many other BR titles (punisher,stealth,underworld) further proves that mpeg2 is sufficient.

I bought this yesterday and can't wait to pop it in tonight for a great display of HD content. I will post personal opinions later on after viewing the movie.

True. I hope we can confirmation as to what the exact codec is soon. I suspect we'll learn more tomorrow.

IMO Training Day is the single best HD DVD out there. If the BD does match it in quality then you'll have one terrific disc!

I just finished watching the movie. I'm pretty sure that this is the best HD footage I've ever been able to bear witness to. The movie looked amazing, and I only saw one part that drew negative attention. So far, this movie sets the benchmark for future releases... I hope all of the Warner titles look this good, as I also bought Good Night, and Good Luck, and hope to buy Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang on Tues.

Good to hear! By I wouldn't stop at Warner, I would hope recent movies from all of the studios will look that good. It gives them something to strive for at the least.

The rule of thumb is the more compression the lower the quality. Although there are plenty of exceptions. It's going to take some high end independent test disc maker to seatle this one. A test disc that has a clip from the same uncompressed clip converted to the 3 codecs. My Guess is that the Pioneer will be slightly ahead in one codecs, Sony in another etc, at least HD won't have that problem as unless NEC is getting back into CE there is only Toshiba and Thompson (apparently re-badged Toshiba), so the differences there will be across models.

Little doubt at this point, but please confirm: All of those discs have DD+, yes?

All of the Warner discs that I have in my posession are marked with DD+ logos and listed in the features.

TwinTurboJosh · 07-31-2006, 05:55 PM

I'm so glad this movie is coming to Blu-Ray. This movie alone almost made my buy a HD-DVD player

His display is 1366x768 plasma.
Nobody can't compare that screens until he got DVI(or HDMI) connected Full HD LCD display.

Does anyone know if they are going to do a reissue of Training Day with different encoding?

That's really doubtful.

Blu Balls · 11-20-2014, 01:04 AM

Why does WB keep repackaging the same disc? I have waited for 7 years to buy Training Day on blu ray, hoping that they would give it a lossless soundtrack and AVC encode. Well, it's almost 2015 and 4K is working it's way into homes, while great movies like Goodfellas and Training Day sit with the same dusty transfer from blu ray's early days. I'm hoping that Goodfellas will get a new 4k master for it's upcoming 25th anniversary but, only time will tell. Today I saw Training Day at Best Buy with a new slip cover and digital copy included but, unfortunately the feature was on the same old glorified DVD.

They could have released a remaster for the 15th anniversary. Lazy bums...

Guess we can keep hoping for a 20th anniversary remaster now

Machine_Gun_Willy · 11-03-2016, 09:58 PM

Recently picked this up in the $7.88 Blu-Ray bin at Wal-Mart after having not watched it since release. I forgot what I great movie this was. Highly recommended!

Or perhaps a UHD BD as an EQ 2 tie in . . .
