HDNet and Mastering - Blu-ray Forum

Iceman_II · 02-22-2007, 02:13 PM

Stupid question, I see a lot of movies coming out on HDNet, the question is, when they do the mastering to broadcast these movies in HD, is the work at all translatable to authoring for BD? I mean, once they have it ready for broadcast on HDNet is is easier for them to take this digitized master, and eventually author a disc?

The reason I am asking is that next month Blade Runner is on HDNet, and while I fully intend to record it to the DVR, I was wondering if broadcast on HDNet is any kind of precursor to disc release.

They have been showing Blade Runner on the MonsterHD channel on DISH and it looks great (and is, thankfully, the "director's cut".) I was watching it last night wishing that I had the Blu-ray.

Blade Runner disc rights will belong to the studio (I believe Warner).

The only thing that the broadcasts indicate is that an HD master exists.
