Would you pay $5-$10 more for a Warner or Paramount Super bit 50GB disc?

[HDTV1080P]

Hopefully one day Warner and Paramount will maximize 1080P transfers with 4K scans and offer BLU-RAY owners discs with high bit rate MPEG-4/AVC or VC-1 that fills the entire 50GB disc up. Then the picture and sound quality will be much better compared to the HD-DVD format.

The better picture was what HD was suppose to be about. Bought best tv and player, just need the movies. There would have to be an improvement in overall pq to justify the extra $ but willing to buy if its there.

i dont think we should have to pay any more than we already are for them to use up the full disc, but at the same time, u know most of us from the forums are willing. whats the max amount you'd pay for a 1 disc blu-ray movie...i think i mightve bought a few at $39.99 when i first bought my ps3 at bestbuy so i could get a few movies to go along. i bought planet earth thru the warner bro.'s website with that promo deal, but even retail, i'd say its worth $99.99!
ah, enough rambling

[jbuttler007]

Not me, since hi def will be the norm.

What tv would that be? I would pay extra for the best quaility. I shouldn't have to though.

Currently so far what this poll has shown is that over 75% of movie collectors that voted would be willing to pay an extra $5-$10 for movies from Warner and Paramount that had the extra touch of quality that the HD-DVD format can not offer. We can only hope one day that Warner and Paramount fills up the 50GB discs with the highest bit rate possible for picture and sound quality. Having 5.1-7.1 PCM sound tracks with high bit rate MPEG-4/AVC or VC-1 has a market.

I would pay but these superbit discs should be the norm. I would be very upset if I had to pay $30-$40 anytime i wanted a movie

[bluflu]

How about we all chip-in $5 to $10 and buy Universal and Warner.

I'm not going to vote, I don't this is a very good poll. This poll needs at least one more option.

Option 3 No, I'm not willing to pay more, but want the best possible picture and sound that an entire 50 GB Disc can hold.

I'm sure the % would be different if this option was added.

I would not pay for a superbit Blu-Ray they use enough space on the 50 Gigs to get great picture and sound, although 25 gigs is another story. The only way I would update a previous Blu-Ray Title was if it had better audio codecs or newer video codecs.

There is a third option missing: I would not pay more for a superbit edition because if Warner got it right, there would be no need for a SBE

Exactly!
If anything it should be cheaper, since they don't have to put in work for the IME/extras stuff.

[The Don]

the idea of blu-ray is that it is clearly superior to the DVD SB version....but it also includes the extras....the one thing that SB HAS TO exclude..

[dobyblue]

Whomever is doing BVHE's VC-1 encodings, that's who I wish was doing Warner's.

Bingo! I shouldn't have to pay more for what the product was supposed to be in the first place.

I agree - why would I pay more for them to do the job properly?

Other studios are doing it properly at the same price - so I will just support them until WB/Paramount clues in....

[Shin-Ra]

Same price, use the full 50GB.

[BLu-Balls]

I would rather sacrifice the shitty special features that saturate the disc before giving the studios another bleeding cent for hi-def. We already are paying a premium.
