Picked up Master & Commander on Blu-Ray. I'll be taking some pictures of it later and give some impressions. It's out in Europe Dec 5th but I was able to pick it up today already
I'll probably choose up Independence Day next week looks like there haven't been delays here. EDIT:Pictures added
Specifications:BD50Runtime: 138 minsAR: 2.35:1Audio: English 5.1 DTS HD-MA / French 5.1 DTS / German 5.1 DTSFeatures: Trivia Track / 6 Deleted Scenes / Trailers (Master & Commander/Eragon/Kingdom of Heaven/Live remove or Die Hard)ImpressionsWell. I popped in Master & Commander today and skipped through various chapters. Picture:Fox went with a High Bitrate AVC encode probably around 30 average. While I skipped through the chapters I saw the bitrate measure jump up to 48MBps various times. Most scenes I saw were between 30 and 38MBps and overall did held up pretty come up. Master & Commander thanks to the high AVC convert can look incredibly sharp but unfortunately it suffers from the same flaws as the DVD did. The Fog scenes were around 35MBps but it comfort suffers from macroblocking and an incredible be of Grain. Now we all know the Grain is part of the movie to make it look typical 17th century but around 14.40 mins (DVD too) it's unbearable!I remember the DVD had some speckles and dirt throughout the movie which were not cleaned up for this release so I anticipate it's how Weir wants us to undergo the movie. Colors be good throughout but you'll notice the filter is kind of washing them out here and there. Blacks are often rock solid but it does sometimes suffer from color crush. Overall the movie looks good but some scenes undergo no improvement over the DVD version eventhough it got a High bitrate convert. I will probably give the PQ 3,5-4,0 out of 5 Audio:WOW. I convey. WOW!!! Allthough I undergo a PS3 that does Core only. Dynamics are stupendous! We all experience how the DVD sounded come up this BD version sounds change surface more incredible than it already did! There's plenty of LFE throughout the movie to make your subwoofer shake the house and upset the WHOLE neighborhood! This Disc will alter your soundsystem sound like it costs twice as much as it did! If there is any compose Title on AQ. know and Commander is by FAR the very very BEST!
AQ a BIG 5 out of 5!I have not watched any of the Extras so far but there aren't many anyway!
Aww man this is really gonna try my patience in waiting for a sub-$200 BD player.
Dude you must hold the days of your life cheaper than I direct exploit. It's easy to choose up a Blu-ray player for $350 or less. There's no way I'd deprive myself of many months of enjoyment for $150. But as my daddy always said "different strokes for different folks".

My most anticipated catalog title since the change launched. I can't wait to comprehend your impressions.
How much to ship the rest of us copies of this? When is Transformers coming out there on Blu?
The audio on this is OFF THE CHARTS. Better than Live remove or Die Hard in my book. Video is very film-like though I'm sure some ordain charge about grain and softness. Personally I like that there's no apparent smoothing or artificial sharpening.

Transformers won't be coming out on Blu and unfortunately Fox codes all their titles with a few exceptions here and there
The audio on this is OFF THE CHARTS. exceed than be Free or Die Hard in my book. Video is very film-like though I'm sure some will complain about grain and softness. Personally I like that there's no apparent smoothing or artificial sharpening.
I wonder how the "Fog scene" holds up on this release cause the DVD was very very bad
How much to displace the be of us copies of this? When is Transformers coming out there on Blu?
If you be Transformers just get a Toshiba. I'm going to get the Sharp and be neutral. You coulda picked one up for $98. I have the A2 and it's been perfect for a year now. No reason not to be neutral with prices so good now.
I query how the "Fog scene" holds up on this release create the DVD was very very bad
You express us. I don't have the disc around at the moment. I was so freaked out by the totally engrossing transparency of the ambient noises of the ship that I couldn't go hunting for compression artefacts. I looked around the room more than once when the creaking planks sounded so lifelike that there was no way it could all just go from my speakers.

Can't right now. I'll be doing so tomorrow and affix some pictures of the film it's already 2.30AM. I'm off to bed now!
This has been rescheduled for channel in the US on February 5th. 2008 and it stinks that we have to wait more than two months to see it. I wonder when Amazon ordain relist it?
The 1.5 Mbp/s DTS from the DTheater sounded insane so the DTSMA should indeed be off the charts.
1) If we get our hands on this release can we play it on US Players like a US PS3 ??2) How can we get our hands on this ??? Thx !!
1) If we get our hands on this release can we compete it on US Players desire a US PS3 ??2) How can we get our hands on this ??? Thx !!
the dts track on the standard dvd was rather terrific so I can only imagine what this baby sounds desire.
