For me, downloads only for previewing purpose of a new / obscure movies which are not shown in local cinemas and / or if not available as DVD in the Jack Sparrow market. For collection, I'd prefer hard-copy disc aka Blu-Ray.

With "real" HD movies in a physical form, I can see and hold its packaging, design etc. apart from the disc itself which truly deliver full HD PQ & AQ, period. And I can oso place them neatly on my shelf to show-off lar, hehe...  biggrin.gif

I totally agree on that biggrin.gif

For me, I will only buy those worth for collection movies
The rest I'll rely on the 'understood' copies
coz I think no point to build up a big blu-ray library and later have to fork out money to build again when format beyond 1080p is out
just like what happened to DVD

anyway, it's just my way of enjoying HD nod.gif

Added on July 16, 2009, 1:49 amjust bought this item from amazon >>>> Casino Royale (Two-Disc Collector's Edition + BD Live) [Blu-ray]

cost is US13.99 + shipping comes to around RM80.00

seriously really dont know how they calculate, i did add stargate directors cut at US9.99

casino royale at US13.99 + stargate at US9.99 + shipping comes to around RM192.00

if buy 2 together dont know y the bill comes to RM192.00 really see  rclxub.gif

oops.......the casino royale is Blueray, but how come sound format only AC3,that means to say there is no True HD output...

Ghostbusters Amazon US is now at USD14.99. With the promotional code of GHOSTBLU, it takes USD5 off, so in essence it is USD9.99. Even with shipping it comes out pretty cheap.

OMG, now i remember Ghostbusters has the promotional code of GHOSTBLU

Both TrueHD and DTS HD MA are available via bitstream, so both of them are in a different camp than PCM.

One question
If the winrar vs winzip concept applies on dolby truehd and dts-hdma
are they using the same loseless source?
It's just the different methods/codecs of decoding the loseless audio
the one we'll be hearing in the end is the same loseless source
am i right?

YOU ARE RIGHT SIR.

The winzip-winrar concept is true, with the PCM is the original format from the studio master. All are lossless.

But Dolby and DTS labs have their own standard regarding the EQ, dB level and LFE top cut-off (if it's THX-certified the cut-off must be 80Hz). DTS, might have higher dB for LFE or certain other frequencies, while Dolby might be the opposite.

But the DETAILS of the original source is BIT-BY-BIT IDENTICAL to any codecs, all lossless. You won't hear anything extra on any type of lossless codec. Only different is the loudness on certain frequencies.
*
That's the thing I don't quite get it
If the source is the same (let's call PCM the master copy)
means the dB level, LFE top cut-off, etc should be all fixed during the audio programing by the studio master, right?
Dolby & DTS are just using their own codec to encode the master copy
That's why they have different bitrates (just like different compression rate on the same file between winrar and winzip)

Based on this, we shd be getting the same dB level, LFE top cut-off, etc during the decoding
In fact there is difference between Dolby & DTS
Or is it because during the encoding, the codec will add value to the source to produce different results during decoding?
Now I'm getting more confused rclxub.gif

Just came back from KL AV. BD's selling for RM72 (single disc movies) and RM96 (2 disc movies). Pretty decent selection but not too sure if they are from US or not. The print on the sleeve looks fairly "ciplak". Some UK titles were on sale as well.  rclxms.gif

Didn't buy any though as I was looking fo newer titles which were not available.  whistling.gif

u can always refer to the back cover
shd be quite easy to identify
those with Malay, Korean, chinese subtitle definitely not us version smile.gif
I got myself Kungfu Panda (US version) and Iron Man (shd be HK version) for RM96 each icon_rolleyes.gif

Raymond's sales staff insists that all the BDs sold at KL AV Fair is imported from US, but I believe its not 100%.  Saw some titles there similar packing with Speedy's.  Maybe imported, but maybe fr HK?

Yeah, some US versions do come with Asian languages as well.  Tricky.

But I guess those without Asian subtitles are US/UK version?   rclxub.gif

Robin - I didnt get Ironman and Kungfu Panda as I believe its Asian version.  You sure Kungfu Panda is US version?
*
Yes, I'm pretty sure becoz
1) no chinese/thai/indonesian subtitle & languages
2) double checked with the back cover listed on amazon US, exactly the same

As for Iron Man, I believe it's HK version coz the back cover not quite same with the one listed on amazon US
No PG rating at the back

1) The ext version shd be out in 2011, in conjunction with the theatrical release of 'The Hobbit'
2) SW 1-6 no BD out yet, even Indy 1-3 and Back to the Future also not out yet
