Selamat Hari Raya Aidil Adha Everyone!

Workprint is the first cut of the movie, which will be the template for the editor and director to work on to in order to get the final cut of the movie. This cut is never intended for release, though some are leaked illegally, like if you remember "Men In Black" and "Star Wars Episode III - Revenge of the Sith". Workprints usually has time-codes at the bottom right of the screen, used by editors as reference.

"Blade Runner" is the first movie I know to release it's workprint version officially. I hope they maintain the time-codes, to get the raw feel of the movie. We are getting the final cut version anyway.

By the way, PS3 now can also be known as PornStation 3 now, as suggested by one of our friends before. This should also be good news by a certain "car logos having fun" member.

Check this out!!

Hollywood Reporter Predicts 2008 Win for Blu-ray

As this year comes to a close, Hollywood Reporter is making a few predictions about what they expect to see from Hollywood next year. With regards to the format war in 2008, they predict, "Blu-ray blows away HD DVD". Citing the strength of sales as the major reasons for it eventual success, they also suggested that the PlayStation 3 is a major driving force for the format.

Official BDA Website Hacked

The official website of the Blu-ray Disc Association (BDA) has been hacked and is now directing traffic to the website of a not-so-perfect competitor. Do not be alarmed by this act of cyber-terrorism; the BDA is just fine. Until the problem gets resolved, please refrain from visiting that site.

2 DVDs? You sure?

Better check, I think all discs should be BD. Warner Bros. has great history on wrongly packaged BDs.

They have actually mixed the discs for this Blade Runner release:

"One of the most anticipated releases on Blu-ray this quarter is the Blu-ray release of 'Blade Runner'. Demand for the release has left many retailers sold-out, leaving fans of the iconic Sci-fi film empty-handed. Unfortunately, some fans lucky enough to get a copy have found that the fifth disc is actually the same as the first disc, instead of the being the labeled work print."

Before they have mistakenly put HD-DVD in the Harry Potter BD collection box:

"Some owners of the 'Harry Potter Limited Edition Gift Set' are reporting that an HD DVD has infiltrated their Blu-ray packaging. Numerous reports are surfacing that owners of the Blu-ray set are finding HD DVD versions of "Goblet of Fire" or "The Order of the Phoenix" in their packaging. So if you picked up the set yesterday, or plan to pick one up soon, make sure to check all the discs for the Blu-ray logo."

And here's the most recent:

"In an apparent holiday mix-up, Warner Home Video has shipped thousands of cancelled orders from their online store. If you have received any titles from cancelled orders, contact Warner Home Video for return instructions."

Maybe can. If they encode the 1080p video to MPEG-2 (DVD), even normal DVD players should be able to play the 1080p DVD. Only the content should be much shorter.

But if they use MPEG-4 AVC or VC-1 codec, only BD players can play the DVD. But don't matter much, because those who buy th BD box should have a BD player or PS3 already.

There are some old Blu-ray movies that use the DVD's MPEG-2 codec in 1080p, so the codec is capable of HD content.

You guys can print money ar?

Mind lending me those money printing blocks?

I already spent more than RM1K in 2 months just for BDs. Pokai already...

Friends, patience. In time your dream BDs will be in a BOGO. Patience.

7 lbs actually.

But some times even 3 titles kena. Depends on you luck.

Yeah, I got my Pirates 2 during the previous BOGO too.

Before I go to the shop, maybe you can guide me a bit on the pricing.

How much is the Onkyo TX-SR605, 705, or even 805?

Also, how can you hear DTS-HD when PS3 can't bitstream 5.1? Can't use PCM because PS3 can't decode DTS-HD.

Haha, got myself a RX-V1800 instead.

Sound quality is superb. Onkyo 605 maybe cheaper and got the same features, but it's sound quality can't match Yamaha's, which is superb.



http://www.yamaha.co.jp/english/product/av...ht/rxv1800.html

Yes, PS3 can't bitstream DTS-HD MA and Dolby TrueHD properly. It will be downgraded to normal Dolby Digital & DTS. It's a hardware problem, not just PS3, but most BD players too.

So we don't really need a receiver with onboard DTS-HD MA and Dolby TrueHD decoder, just one that can receive multi-channel PCM. Let's just hope we'll get firmware update for DTS-HD MA support from Sony so that we can set BD audio output on PS3 to PCM all the time.

Hey, this talk is related to BD.

Excellent. Through the RX-V1800, the crappy analog Astro is now upsacaled and transfered digitally through HDMI to my TV. Now i'm watching Astro in 1080i (my TV does not support 1080p, yet)! The picture quality significantly improved.

Can't reveal yet, I got it with a special deal. If I tell, the shop might go bankrupt when everyone go to his shop asking for the same price.

I'm so wanted to get the matching Yamaha speakers, but for now my old Sony speakers will do. For now. My wallet damaged big time already.

If the RX-V1800 sound is too harsh-y you can adjust the EQ to natural. My old speakers has never performed this good before. I don't have a DTS-HD MA blu-ray yet, still waiting for my Die hard 4 and other BDs to arrive. So haven't had the chance to test it yet. In theory, the DTS-HD MA should lights up on the RX-V1800, only it will be downgraded to 5.1 instead of 7.1. This is mentioned in the PS3 manual.

Onkyo in Malaysia keeps changing it's local distributor. With the current distributor, those who bought Onkyo equipment before them would suffer because the new one won't cover the warranty, you have to pay for it. You'll never know when they'll change the distributor again.

Sell all your BDs (to me) half second hand price, then use the money to buy the receiver.

Still... have... to... WAIT...

For BOGO...

Gua just spent thousands on the amp... This is really tempting, nice titles too...

I've decided to pass. Gotta save some money for food.

These titles will always (or re-stocked) be available at Amazon. They should be cheaper in future.

Free? You mean standard?

Use your best friend, the plastic money!!!

No, not the 5 ringgit note!

You just need the numbers. Here you go:

4124 3432 5435 7758

CVC: 007

Good luck!

And I agree on the HD thing. I can't even watch DVDs now. Guess I'm spoiled by HD.



This is the longest wait ever for my BDs from Amazon. Almost 3 weeks now.

Can't even remember how many and the movie titles! This holiday season, though lots of offer, the shipping sucks!

No order for this BOGO. Not just the plastic money, my damn wallet damaged already.

Just bought that monster Yamaha receiver (which I'm really loving it)... Broke now, got to start new budget...

Care to explain the "hairy" potter part? Sounds like what RX would be interested in...

Didn't you know? OK, OK, enough about that, cool RX!

I'll wait for the complete 7 movies boxset.

Sorry la RX... Don't really sure why... Maybe because of your avatar...
