UPDATED - List of BD-Live, Bonus View, Digital Copy, or 3-D titles

[DrinkMore]

The below lists contain (hopefully) all of the Blu-ray Discs released in the U.S. that offer special features only found on certain Blu-ray disc players, or include a second disc with a digital copy for use in a computer.

While all Blu-ray Disc players can play the main movie and the vast majority of special features found on Blu-ray disc releases, some new titles have features that make use of an internet connection or dual-stream audio and video decoders only found in select players. The titles that use those features are listed below.

BD-Live (aka Profile 2.0) - (BDL)
These titles have some features that only work on BD-Live-capable players that are connected to the internet. At this time the PlayStation 3, the Panasonic BD50, Sony BDP-S250, Samsung BD-P1500 and BD-P2500, and some PC software players are the only players that can access these features. The upcoming Sony BDP-S550 and BDP-S5000ES, LG BD300, Pioneer Elite BDP-09FD, and Panasonic BD35 and BD55 should all be BD-Live capable when they are released. In addition to the above currently-released titles, all future titles released by Sony will contain BD-Live features.


BonusView (aka Profile 1.1)- (BV)
These titles make use of the dual-stream audio and video decoders found in BonusView capable players to allow for Picture-in-picture type features (such as video commentary) while watching the movie. A number of other Blu-ray titles have similar features, but use alternative methods (dual encodes, seamless branching) to accomplish the same goal, which allows the feature on those titles to work on ALL players. All newly certified Blu-ray player models must support BonusView, but there are still a number of players available in stores (primarily Sony BSP-S300, BDP-S500, and BDP-S2000ES players and Samsung's home-theatre-in-a-box units) that were certified before the new rules went into effect and cannot play the special feature on these titles.

Digital Copy/DVD - (DC/DC+/DVD)
As Blu-ray discs will only play in Blu-ray disc players, a number of consumers have requested a way to play movies they've purchased on other devices. Studios have taken notice and have started including a "Digital Copy" along with select Blu-ray releases. The copy is usually on a second DVD that will work in a computer. These discs don't require anything special in terms of Blu-ray player as they are designed to be used in a computer, with the digital files copyable to various portable media devices.


Note: Titles with a + sign are NOT compatible with Mac computers or Ipod portable media players. They are "PlaysForSure" compatible-only.

3D - (3-D)
With the success of IMAX 3D and Real D in cinemas and 2009 being billed as the "year of 3D," many studios are starting to look at bringing 3D features to home video. Since Blu-ray lacks a true 3D profile, and 3D monitors are still aways off for most consumers, the Blu-ray releases of 3D features have to be encoded using color anaglyphs to attempt to preserve the 3D effect. Such movies will play in all players, but the viewer will need to wear red/blue or red/cyan filtered glasses to see the 3D effect. This means that a loss of color information results and the end effect isn't nearly as engaging as the effect of theatrical IMAX 3D or Real D movies. Still, it does allow for full compatibility with all players and HDTVs on the market, and if these titles are successful it might spur faster development of a true 3D Blu-ray profile and 3D-capable consumer monitors.

Note that while 3D Blu-ray releases include cheap cardboard anaglyph glasses with it, you can always use higher quality plastic or metal glasses, or clip-on filters for prescription glasses as well -- which may provide a better 3D experience. One store that specializes in selling these glasses can be found here. (Note that neither I nor Blu-ray.com endorses that store or is an affiliate of that store. I'm merely pointing out that they exist.) There are many different designs available. Be careful to order the correct anaglyph colors for the title or titles you want to watch. You may need to purchase two sets to cover both red/blue and red/cyan-type anaglyphs. They also sell circular polarized glasses that work with the Real D (aka Disney Digital 3D) thatrical system for anyone who dislikes the style of glasses given out by their local theatre.

If I've missed any titles, please add a comment below and I'll get the title added if it should be on the list. Also, if there's interest, I'll keep this post updated each week as new titles are released.
