Could 'The Animatrix' end up being another 'vertically filtered' disappointment?

[Darth Lavender]

Just occured to me; apparently Warner used to have a real problem with creating a sort of 1080i (with, for technical reasons I don't fully understand, a real resolution of 960x1080 (instead of HD's 1080x1920)) masters, which were used for some of their worst received early HDDVDs (Lethal Weapon 2, the earlier HDDVD version of A Perfect Storm, Willy Wonka, etc.)
Anyway, if this was just their standard practice at the time (a relic of creating masters for just PAL and NTSC dvds, with no thought to the possibility of High Definition) then isn't there a good chance that The Animatrix (being originally produced just for PAL and NTSC dvds) might only exist in that '1080i' state?

btw, I'm guessing from the specs that The Animatrix will get only a 640kbps DD+ soundtrack (the specs only mention TrueHD for 'all three films' and Gotham Knight only got 640kbps)


On a loosely related note; I recall reading somewhere a while ago that Warner's former policy of creating 1080i transfers is the reason 'Heat' has been delayed (they need to create a new master for 1080p)
