Flags of our Fathers Blu-ray, Paramount goes AVC! - Blu-ray Forum

onyxx · 05-07-2007, 06:01 AM

Great news, I have been complaining about Paramount only doing MPEG2 and DD5.1 encodes. Now I am only having one thing to complain about, PCM please...

Freakin awesome. Good going paramount and THANK YOU for keeping the lowest bitrate EQUAL to hd-dvd's MAX bitrate! Just slap a PCM track on it and you've got yourself a winner!

And another movie I wasn't going to get just yet that, thanks to Chad, I'll have to buy now

Blu-man! · 05-07-2007, 07:54 AM

That will be on my order on May 27th

High bit AVC is very nice

Blackraven · 05-07-2007, 01:41 PM

Too bad the overseas release from Warner Brothers (outside USA) will probably not use AVC (maybe VC-1).

Oh well, at least it's still gonna be released on BD-50 which is good enough

TauHeel05 · 05-07-2007, 02:27 PM

AVC! That's awesome.

mainman · 05-07-2007, 02:59 PM

This movie is released by Dreamworks.
And Letters from Iwo Jima is Warner?

Warner is always, region free.

But I dunno about Dreamworks, does Dreamworks release its titles, as Region free, of do they region-lock it?

AVC/DD or MPEG-2/LPCM. Which would you pick if you had to choose one?

Another gorgeous review from David Vaughn and well done Dreamworks using a higher bit rate AVC GORGEOUS nothing more than Gorgeous,A straight away buy even if does not include a PCM soudtrack.but Acccording to David Vaughn this soundtrack is unbeatable too.

GOOD review CHAD as always including Donnie Brasco ,ok i correct my mistake but mentioned chad here for Donnie Brasco

The Big Blue · 05-07-2007, 03:26 PM

Optimally authored MPEG-2/PCM would get my vote as well.

MPEG-2/LPCM of course. Sound is just as important to me as video. But unfortunately Paramount can't use lossless to save their own hides, so I will applaud them for going AVC at high bit rates even if they can't get their audio straight. They could have easily just gone with their low bitrate VC-1 encode they use on HD DVD and we would have seen mixed results. As long as something didn't go horribly wrong, the high bit rate will really be noticeably better than the VC-1 encode during battle scenes.

Scorxpion · 05-07-2007, 07:03 PM

Agreed with all of you

Both Clint Eastwood films are from Dreamworks.

However, in the United States, it's released by Paramount.

Outside USA (all overseas teritorries), it's released by Warner Brothers.

That's why I said in my post that it may use VC-1 instead of MPEG-4 AVC. I don't mind that personally...as long as they use a BD-50 disc on both flicks.

This is kinda off the subject, but I finally saw Pearl Harbor on Blu-Ray and it was amazing. Especially the fighting scenes. WOW
