Batman Begins Blu-ray Specs: Dolby TrueHD

[IwantTransformersBlu]

And I know you all know what is included in the boxset but here is a picture with the DVD boxset which will include the same as the BD boxset

At least it's got TrueHD. I would assume it's the same VC-1 encode from the HD DVD. You may want to change the thread title to attract more attention, since this is some long-awaited info. Just a suggestion.

I really am starting to hate WBs. They can't take the time to give us a proper high bitrate blu specific encode. They just take the old HD-DUD title and port it over just like they have always done. Slap on some extras and bam..their done.

I thought WB was supposed to start making Blu specific encodes???

Atleast their sister company New Line Cinema can give us Blu specific encodes in VC-1. Although I'm not sure how much longer that will last since WB has take hold of them recently.

What I've see of Batman Begins is up there with Order of the Phoenix and some of their better titles. I think anyone expecting a Blu-ray specific encode of this was expecting a bit much.

I would imagine New Line, and Warner's, future release will be higher bitrate, since they no longer have the constraints of HD DVD holding them back. I would anticipate Warner to go the way of New Line, instead of vice versa.

No, there have been a few 1.1 releases. RE Extinction, Sunshine, and War are all 1.1 w/ PIP.

VC-1 hey, looks like we're getting the same encode from the HD DVD. Lazy, Warner, very lazy and disappointing.

[DetroitSportsFan]

I was expecting a HD-DVD port.

It should still look/sound great though.

Just because it's VC-1 doesn't necessarily mean it's the HD DVD encode.

Apparently no new features aside from the marketing hook of the footage from the sequel. Warner is really screwing with us if they don't encode this movie for Blu-ray specs. This BD will sell hundreds of thousands of copies over the course of its lifetime and any cost associated with the new encode could easily be amortized. If Warner won't re-encode this movie they will not be re-encoding any HD DVD they haven't released on Blu-ray.

The current HD DVD encode is now almost two years old and just doesn't hold up to reference Blu-rays released today. The transfer is soft and not the best presentation this movie deserves. The current encode is good but with an optimized Blu-ray encode it could be great.

I feel like someone should call Warner and make sure.

I'm kinda torn about whether to get the Special Edition or not...the movie was great but not that great IMO. Its not like its The GodFather or Star Wars where I won't hesitate to drop a buttload of money on any special feature movie package.

I just want the PQ and AQ to be excellent so I hope you guys are right about them re-doing it or w/e.

You know for about $19 even if it was a straight HD-DVD port with True-HD sound how can you go wrong for just the regular blu-ray non SE? I saw the HD-DVD version and its pretty damn friggen good. I wouldn't put too much weight on all this nonsense some people are spewing prejudging if its going to suck.

I mean some ***** because we never got this title from Warner, now we get it and they still *****. I am willing to bet that this will not be the last version of this title on blu-ray. Give it another 3-4 years and there will be some Ultimate Edition.

I'm a big fan of this movie, one of my favorites, but the stuff in the deluxe edition just seems kind of superfluous. I just wish they'd use different cover art. He looks like a cat or something. This will, however, be the first title whose PIP content I'll actually watch.

Cars and Ratatouille had extensive PIP content. Not saying they were first, but they certainly precede Batman Begins.
