Sony announces Crouching Tiger - Blu-ray Forum

KenThompson · 11-07-2006, 03:06 PM

Releases on Jan 16 th. (While unheard of for a Sony title, 'Crouching Tiger' does not appear to also include an uncompressed PCM 5.1 option)

dobyblue · 11-07-2006, 03:09 PM

Good title for Sony to release.
One would only assume if they forego the PCM it would be for either the TrueHD or DTS-MA lossless tracks?

theknub · 11-07-2006, 04:06 PM

i would think so doby. of course, they need about 20 different audio tracks and 30 sets of subtitles

Alex Pallas · 11-08-2006, 12:08 AM

no uncompressed audio? that soundtrack is wicked

zombie · 11-08-2006, 12:37 AM

I'd like great audio but as long as the movie is in it's original language with English subs I'll happily buy this one.

hmurchison · 11-08-2006, 12:58 AM

Yeah baby. Time to brush up on my Mandarin.

Announcement of next Sony may be "The producers" and "The march of Kwai".
"The producers" was released in Japan on November 3. And it is confirmed that "The march of Kwai" has been mass-producted in Japanese BR product line.

"The producers" is another BD50 title, and "The march of Kwai" seems to be also BD50.

Will "The march of Kwai" be by any chance "The Bridge On The River Kwai"?

56@Yamamoto · 11-08-2006, 03:56 AM

I'm sorry. Simply my mistake.

Deciazulado · 11-08-2006, 08:17 AM

No worries.

That's great news.

In fact, That's excellent news for HD-DVD!TM

WriteSimply · 11-08-2006, 08:55 AM

It sucks not to have 24/48 LPCM 5.1 on this one. Should be relatively easy, even on BD25. Original audio on LPCM and the dubbed languages on DD 640kbps. Sony PE disappoints me...

Zvi · 11-08-2006, 03:42 PM

IMHO with lossles codecs uncompressed sound should be simply banned. I don't see a single reason for having it.

Applefiend · 11-08-2006, 04:07 PM

If they screw this up like the screwed Flying Daggers there will be trouble....

Sadly the image quality on some of these Asian movies is not the greatest.

You can see on the Disney trailer the difference between Pirates and Hero - it is quite significant (Pirates amazing, Hero not so much).

It will be interesting to see how CTHD comes out.

ProvenFlipper · 11-13-2006, 06:20 PM

According to the Man Room, this one might be delayed... Hopefully its getting delayed so they can prepare a Uncompressed LPCM soundtrack for it.

goodstuff · 11-13-2006, 06:30 PM

Yeah, DVDEmpire just removed the date on this as well.

Bullseye · 11-13-2006, 07:11 PM

This should look stunning in BD. I wonder when they will announce Spider-man?

KenThompson · 11-14-2006, 12:59 AM

Probably just before Spiderman 3 comes out . Then again it could come as a 3 movie box set after the movie finishes its run.
