cathexist · 01-09-2008, 03:11 PM

Good to hear that they're really working on it.

Bullseye · 01-09-2008, 03:13 PM

Excellent.

goodstuff · 01-09-2008, 03:14 PM

Excellent, bring 'em on!

DetroitSportsFan · 01-09-2008, 03:14 PM

No surprise, but good to hear anyway.

GregBlu5 · 01-09-2008, 03:16 PM

It's good that Warner did wait; otherwise, folks would be double dipping by getting the better versions when they eventually come out.

SBrooks1 · 01-09-2008, 03:20 PM

Along with Profile 1.1 issues they better be considering giving us uncompressed PCM audio along with TrueHD on all the previously released HD DVD movies they are making for Blu-ray.

"We held off releasing them on Blu-ray because we wanted to be able to have the full interactivity," said Tsujishara. "At this point in time, we're still working out all the kinks [with the technology], but they will be released soon."

Two titles specifically cited by Tsujishara as being prepped for Blu-ray release were 'Batman Begins,' and the blockbuster 'Matrix' trilogy, although he stopped short of naming actual street dates.

Gimme dates dammit!!

With the studio having thrown its weight behind Blu-ray, Warner Home Entertainment President Kevin Tsujihara says plans are underway to introduce its first Profile 1.1 compliant titles to the market.

Although Profile 1.1 hardware is now readily available, and several Blu-ray-supporting studios have already produced titles with Profile 1.1-enabled features, Warner has yet to utilize the technology on any of its Blu-ray releases.

More Blu-ray Top Sellers | Blu-ray Pre-Orders List

That appears to be on the verge of changing, however, following Warner's seismic shift late last week to Blu-ray exclusivity. Speaking with High-Def Digest, Tsujishara stated that the studio is preparing several Profile 1.1 titles --specifically the library of nearly a dozen Warner titles previously released on HD DVD that used that format's HDi technology to deliver the studio's "In Movie Experience" picture-in-picture video commentary and other interactive features.

"We held off releasing them on Blu-ray because we wanted to be able to have the full interactivity," said Tsujishara. "At this point in time, we're still working out all the kinks [with the technology], but they will be released soon."

Two titles specifically cited by Tsujishara as being prepped for Blu-ray release were 'Batman Begins,' and the blockbuster 'Matrix' trilogy, although he stopped short of naming actual street dates.

As previously reported, Warner's switch to Blu-ray allegiance will see the studio releasing titles on both Blu-ray and HD DVD through the end of May 2008, after which they will back Blu-ray exclusively. At press time, Warner had not announced any upcoming releases (on either format) to feature picture-in-picture interactivity.

Looks like the Assassination has a pretty lousy audio.

All titles that are currently only available from Warner on HD DVD and have lossless audio, will also have lossless audio when they hit Blu-ray.

It will be either TrueHD, PCM or both.

Hasn't the audio spec been updated to PCM 5.1??
I'm sure I read that somewhere.

sj001 · 01-09-2008, 03:35 PM

I'm glad to at least hear from Warner FINALLY that they are releasing these titles this year. Hopefully we get some dates in the coming weeks.

I hope your right. I hope WB start to embrace audio.

Justjayn · 01-09-2008, 03:38 PM

Hope the remaining "Make Up" titles Warner promised in '07 don't get lost in the mix. The first quarter is a slow time in terms of releases. Now would be the time to release many of the make up titles (both profile 1.1 and standard) such as Casablanca, Caddyshack to name a few.

Nope, the artwork has been posted with just Dolby Digital 5.1 on the back.
