Pioneer's BDP-LX80 Blu-ray player supports HD audio bitstream output
 Pioneer just announced that Blu-ray Disc player with "HD audio bitstream output" they alluded to with the launch of their BDP-LX70. In what appears to be an industry first for BD players, the new BDP-LX80 supports bitstream output of both Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD high resolution lossless audio output over HDMI 1.3. Sorry, no DTS-HD Master Audio this time. Still, a worthy update from the LX70 assuming your home theater gear is properly matched to decode that signal. Something you'll want to check, and double-check, before dropping the tax inclusive roll of ¥210,000 or about $1,768. We could be wrong, but the move from the LX70 to LX80 appears to be a firmware change only so why all the fuss with a new model Pioneer? If true, then don't be surprised to find a hacked version of the firmware for the LX70 on the Internets soon enough. No word on a global launch -- Japan-only for now with a local release scheduled for October. Källa: engadget.com Postad 02 augusti 2007 - 12:53
Hitachi's Blu-Ray and HDD/Blu-Ray Cams Stateside in October
 After months of speculation and naysaying, Hitachi has finally launched its Blu-ray and HDD/Blu-ray camcorders on the world. With a launch date of 31 August for Japan, and October for the rest of the world, here's a gallery and the gen on what you can expect. There are two models to choose from: the hybrid DZ-BD7H, with its 30GV HDD and 8 cm disk recorder; and the simpler DZ-BD70, a BD single drive camcorder which can record approximately one hour of 1920x1080 full high-definition video (two hours of 1440x1080 high definition video) on a 8cm BD. The DZ-BD7H can capture four hours of 1920x1080 full hi-def video, or up to eight hours of 1440x1080, and can copy from HDD to 8cm BD within the camcorder without external devices. Both cameras have a 5.3 mega-pixel CMOS, HMDI output, D3/D1 connector and weigh 705 grams (DZ-BD7H) and 650 g (DZ-BD70. Vital statistics are 80 x 87 x 165 mm. Now then, prices. Impress is reporting that the hybrid DZ-BD7H is available for $1,600 in Japan, and the DZ-BD70 for $1,350. Källa: gizmodo.com Postad 03 augusti 2007 - 05:31
Verbatim to launch Mini Blu-ray discs with Hitachi's camcorder
 Now that Hitachi has announced a Blu-ray camcorder to put some of that high-def footage on, you've got to have something to record onto, right? Verbatim will ship 8cm Mini Blu-ray Recordable/Rewritable (BD-R/RE) blank media in August for Japan, with shipments to North America and points beyond in October. The media will hold 7.5GB on a single side, with recording times of one hour for 1920x1080i resolution, and up to two hours at 1440x1080i. The discs come with Verbatim's standard hard-coat finish for protection against scratching and dust, making them pretty reliable for the kinds of stresses you'll see filming your own season of Survivor: Fargo.

" Okay... we've got a little bit more news for you, starting with some follow-up on the high-def versions of Blade Runner. We've confirmed with Warner that both the Blu-ray Disc and HD-DVD editions will feature ALL FIVE VERSIONS of the film in actual 1080p video, but the extras (the documentary, deleted scenes, etc) will all be in standard definition. The reason for this has nothing to do with disc space on either format, but rather timing. Work is still ongoing on some of the extras (it's a big job as you can imagine from the list of specs). Given that, I'm told that even if high-def compression were to start today on the all the extras, there'd be no way to get the high-def versions of the set completed in time to street this year, which is the film's anniversary. That said, even though the extras will be standard def, they're going to be compressed at a very high bitrate and, with upscaling, they should look plenty good. So that's that."

Long interview with Universal's president Craig Kornblau about HD DVD and format war
August 8, 2007 Universal's Kornblau Wants Format War to Continue There's no longer any question as to who's keeping the hi-def format war alive, or why. It's Universal Studios and the top home entertainment exec, by his own admission. I had been hearing over the last few days that various Blu-ray Disc manufacturers have been offering Universal plenty of incentives to join the parade but that Universal was walking away from the table every time without any reasonable objection. Now we know why. Universal president Craig Kornblau told me this week that the studio actually wants the format war to continue. He also said Universal is getting financial incentives to create exclusive HD DVD features such as the Xbox Live component for the upcoming "Heroes" release. "I’m not going to tell you that we don’t cut financial deals with people every day," he says. But he has rationale for all of the above. Kornblau says Universal does the same as every other studio in cutting deals to utilize another company's technologies and services. But Kornblau says Universal's position is not driven by deals but by a long-term and consumer-focused strategy that is supported by Universal parent NBC and corporate owner GE. Universal never initially wanted a war, he says, which is why the studio made a decision years ago to back only one format. Of course, that's the same position taken by Disney as well as Fox; the only difference being they individually chose the opposing format for a number of their own reasons, not the least of which is that each independently told me from the beginning that they believe that Blu-ray will ultimately offer the most consumer satisfaction and that the technology represents a full step forward in technology -- not a half-step -- to ensure the longest-term value for consumers. And, most importantly to Fox from the outset and now others as well, an extra layer of protection against piracy. However, now that the market has evolved as it has, Kornblau says the hi-def format war has been "the very best thing that ever happened for consumers, retailers, and, frankly, studios" -- everyone except consumer electronics manufacturers -- because it has driven prices down further and far more quickly than would have been the case if there had been only one format in the market. (CE manufacturers are no small exception since they were among the primary groups driving the introduction of hi-def discs in order to restore the profit into their business that long ago evaporated with $49 DVD players from China. The format war has already forced some manufacturers to start subsidizing their hi-def players.) Without the format war, Kornblau believes that even after more than a year in the market, the lowest-priced players would still be priced out of reach of most consumers at more than $1,000 and they would only drop to $800 or $900 over the next year or two. Of course, that's impossible to know for sure and it's a bit of a faulty premise if you consider that PlayStation 3's, which play Blu-ray Discs and are by far the top-selling hi-def disc player of either format, were introduced last November at $600. As for the cause and rate of price declines in players, 10 years ago the cost of DVD players dropped about 20% in the first year and another 30% in the second year without any format war, according to "CE Historical" at the Consumer Electronics Assoc. web site www.ce.org. With Universal the only holdout in sticking with HD DVD exclusively, Kornblau reluctantly concedes that HD DVD's position is just fragile enough that if Universal decided to release in Blu-ray now, it would have a serious, if not life-threatening impact on the future of HD DVD. So in addition to weighing how his decision will impact the studio, he now must also factor in the potential demise of the HD DVD format entirely if Universal would opt to release its movies in Blu-ray. For now, that's not something Kornblau is willing to risk. He says Universal chose HD DVD initially because it offered the least expensive hardware and software manufacturing costs and immediate across-the-board interactivity and connectivity in all HD DVD players. "To this date, nothing's changed," he suggests. Kornblau believes interactive and connected features are essential for the success of any hi-def disc platform, especially as more and more consumers realize that they can buy a DVD player for $129 that upconverts their DVDs to near-hi-def quality. "DVD would not have grown to a $16 billion market if all we did was put movies on a disc," he said. Enhanced features are even more critical for the success of hi-def discs, which do not offer as many revolutionary distinctions from DVD as did DVD over VHS. In fact, Kornblau says the lack of comparable interactivity and connectivity in Blu-ray as compared with HD DVD at this point is why Universal refuses to go the same route as Warner and Paramount in releasing in both formats but being forced to offer less interactive and connected features on the Blu-ray versions, such as Warner's new "300." Hmmm, with the notable exception of the "U-Control" interactive feature that Universal introduced on several titles last year, the studio hasn't exactly been blazing many trails of innovation with content that couldn't be delivered on Blu-ray Discs and even DVDs in many cases. Warner has been leading that charge with web-enabled features introduced on "Blood Diamond" and continuing through last week's "300." After about a year-and-a-half in the market, Universal's first web-enabled feature will come courtesy of Microsoft on the Aug. 28 release of "Heroes." And, not for nothing, but early results of "300," at a record 250,000 copies sold in the first week, show that at least 65% of those sales went to Blu-ray. Some expected the numbers to skew even further in favor of Blu-ray given it's appeal to the PlayStation 3 demographic. Meanwhile Blu-ray promises even more dynamic connectivity features with its new "BD Live" component in Blu-ray players and titles coming as early as this fall, as well as further enhancements to its "BD-J" interactive technology. Kornblau, who was kind enough to speak with me very frankly in the midst of a hectic time, also conceded that Universal could not have picked a worse time to be carrying the torch for HD DVD in terms of strong releases to help support its position and the platform. Although Kornblau referred to his studio's weak movies over the past 9 months, Universal's release slate has been pretty dismal for the last several years. The studio had only two theatrical films in the top 30 at the domestic box-office in 2005 and it's lone top 20 title last year was 18th-ranked "The Break-Up," with $119 million, according to Boxofficemojo.com. After suffering through the first six months of this year with its biggest hits being the sleeper romantic comedy "Knocked Up" and the financial disaster "Evan Almighty," Universal is finally enjoying a solid franchise hit with last weekend's "The Bourne Ultimatum" opening with $69 million. Kornblau sees all that as setting up a big fourth-quarter for his studio on the home entertainment and hi-def fronts, starting with "Heroes," followed by four $100 million-plus titles, "Knocked Up," "Evan Almighty," "I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry" ($92 million after 3 weeks), and "Bourne Ultimatum." But that's pretty much the highlight for the rest of the year as far as programs available exclusively on HD DVD. Almost everything else will be on Blu-ray, either exclusively or along with HD DVD, including everything from Steven Spielberg's first hi-def disc release, "Close Encounters of the Third Kind," exclusively on Blu-ray, to most of the top-grossing movies of the year, such as "Spider-Man 3," "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" (both only on Blu-ray) "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" (not announced as yet); "300," "Ratatouille," "Wild Hogs," and "Blades of Glory" (the latter three only on Blu-ray). And as soon as Fox rejoins the BD party with its MGM distribution in tow -- which everyone hopes will be soon -- that studio could release its trio of summer hits exclusively on Blu-ray, "The Simpsons Movie," "Live Free or Die Hard," and "Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer." Even if, for the sake of argument, you go along with Universal's belief that the format war is driving prices down more quickly, Kornblau admits that there is only a limited window of time for which this situation can be interpreted as beneficial for consumers, retailers, and studios. He says that window will start to close when players drop to a price of $200 and consumers start making their choice, which is what will guide Universal's ultimate course. So that’s the story. Universal did not want the format war and Kornblau believes the studio did not initiate the war, but he and the studio are now intentionally and strategically keeping the format war alive for what they believe is for the good of the consumer, retailers and studios while awaiting a clear consumer preference for Blu-ray or HD DVD once prices drop to $200. Universal chose HD DVD because costs were lower and it had about a year’s head-start on some interactive features and web connectivity. Okay, Kornblau has always been straight with me so I have no reason to believe he doesn’t truly believe most, if not all of that. But if consumers are already showing a 2-1 Blu-ray preference for every movie released in both formats months before Blu-ray introduces its more sophisticated web-connected and interactive features and even while HD DVD is riding a low-price advantage of about $150 - $200, it’s difficult to envision consumers becoming less interested in Blu-ray when all those features debut amid a flurry of the year’s biggest movies exclusively on Blu-ray. When that point comes, on behalf of those of us who don’t believe that prolonging the format war is a good thing, I hope that Kornblau and Universal are quick to respond to the will of consumers and end this war. In the meantime, I guess those customers who are already choosing Blu-ray will have to live without hi-def versions of "Knocked Up," "Evan Almighty" and "I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry" for awhile.

Sony Launches $100M HDNA Ad Campaign
Posted August 16, 2007 by Josh Blu-ray Disc Sony Electronics is set to launch a $100M ad campaign in order to promote what they are calling HDNA - a combination of high definition (HD) and DNA. The campaign will focus on educating the public about Sony high definition products, including Sony Blu-ray players, and how they all integrate to provide the ultimate high definition experience. The TV, radio, print, and Internet ads will feature NFL quarterback Peyton Manning and NASCAR driver Dale Earnhart, Jr. explaining the benefits of high definition, and how consumers can integrate HD into their lives via Sony products. TV ads will run in primetime, as well as on dedicated HD channels like National Geographic HD and Universal HD. Chief Marketing Officer Mike Fasulo commented, "HDNA is the core, the essence of all Sony HD products. If a consumer is considering the purchase of an HD product, we believe that given our lineage and expertise in the category, Sony should be the only consideration. With this comprehensive campaign we will also demystify all of the fears associated with purchasing a high-definition product." The campaign is expected to last through the all-important holiday shopping season, well into 2008. Sony makes this announcement just as the Disney Magical Blu-ray Tour kicks off in malls across the country, where they hope to educate the public about Blu-ray.

Exclusive Interview: T. Paul Miller (SPHE)
Posted August 20, 2007 by Josh We had a chance to interview T. Paul Miller, Senior Vice President, International for Sony Pictures Home Entertainment (SPHE), regarding the recent news that SPHE was experiencing substantial growth in Blu-ray sales in international countries. As the format war rages on, SPHE's concentration on the world-wide adoption of Blu-ray is essential to ensure that only the best format remains in the end. Blu-ray.com: Why has Sony Pictures Home Entertainment decided to begin releasing Blu-ray movies in relatively small markets like South Africa, especially when many of these markets are prone to rampant piracy? Miller: As I travel and work in these places I am always struck by the extraordinary level of interest in home entertainment product. While it's true much of the product sold in these developing markets is in fact pirated, there is a small but fiercely loyal base of movie fans who are willing to seek out and buy the real thing. They're looking for the quality, the value added features and the cache associated with legitimate offerings. Blu-ray plays right to that target group. And consumers looking for the best home entertainment experience are coming to us regardless of the price or availability of pirated DVD or VCD offerings. Blu-ray.com: With the success Sony Pictures Home Entertainment has shown in these growing markets, do you believe other studios will begin supporting Blu-ray in these regions as well? Miller: Absolutely. We encourage it and look forward to seeing their product along side ours in the very near future. Blu-ray.com: As the format war continues, many Blu-ray owners are importing movies which are only available on HD DVD in the US. For example, SPHE owns distribution rights to "Children of Men" in Korea. Will SPHE be releasing this film, or other Universal properties on Blu-ray in countries where you own distribution rights? Miller: Unfortunately no - it's not our decision - it's up to Universal. Blu-ray.com: Many Sony Pictures movies are available on Blu-ray in the US, but not internationally, forcing international customers to import from the US. Will SPHE eventually catch-up and have all Sony Pictures Blu-ray movies in every country? Miller: The world is a big place and we'd love to serve every country but the reality is that we have to be pragmatic in terms of demand. In terms of the 60+ countries where we currently have partnerships with local distributors you can bet that they'll be coming to us when the demand is there. Blu-ray.com: The capacity of Blu-ray discs allow for many different audio tracks to be put on the same disc, allowing one disc to be pressed for many different countries. How has SPHE taken advantage of this? Miller: The format has given us tremendous flexibility in terms of both audio dub configurations as well as value added features. To have the kind of space that Blu-ray offers is one of the key reasons we're able to offer our product in so many markets simultaneously. The unique cost and time saving benefits of authoring one disk dubbed in English, Korean, Brazilian Portuguese, Cantonese, Mandarin and Thai translates to a tremendous advantage in the emerging markets. The sales required to justify that authoring cost can now be spread across many different markets. Blu-ray.com: Recent sales data indicates that international adoption of high definition content and players is much slower than in the US. Why do you believe that Blu-ray is being adopted slower internationally, and do you see a point where the rest of the world will catch up with the US? Miller: In the more developed countries I absolutely see a point where we're on parity with the US. In the emerging markets however, we are always at the mercy of macro-economic factors which preclude mass adoption of any consumer electronic device on the scale of the US. Blu-ray.com: Many of the countries mentioned in the press release have also recently begun receiving shipments of the Sony PlayStation 3. Is Sony Pictures Home Entertainment working closely with Sony Computer Entertainment to ensure that new PS3 owners also have Blu-ray movie content available to them at launch? Miller: In fact our initial forays into Blu-ray distribution in the emerging markets grew out of a desire by SPHE senior management to present a Sony United front and support our partners at Sony Computer Entertainment. As an example we shipped our first units into Hong Kong primarily to place product in the Sony shops and to provide a Sony United experience for their customers. To my surprise I received a call from Hong Kong two weeks later explaining that we'd nearly sold out stock in the Sony stores and they wished to reorder. At the same time our local distribution partner was receiving strong interest from other retailers who subsequently ordered Blu-ray stock. Six weeks later we'd received orders for more than 5,000 units and it appeared Hong Kong was definitely ready for Blu-ray. Blu-ray.com: Why do you feel that Blu-ray is more appealing than HD DVD on the international market? Miller: HD DVD did not enjoy the head start internationally that it did in the US. Without that early start consumers naturally gravitated to the better format. Blu-ray.com: The press release noted that Sony Pictures Home Entertainment experience a 21% increase in orders during the month of June. Do see this trend continuing throughout the remainder of the year? Miller: I'm really excited by what I'm seeing in the emerging markets. With new territories coming online and the tremendous month over month growth of BD in places where we're already trading like Russia, Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic, the Middle East and of course Hong Kong and Taiwan, I'm convinced we'll see double digit monthly growth for the near to medium term. We'd like to thank T. Paul Miller for answer our questions, and Sony Pictures Home Entertainment for their continuing dedication to the development and promotion of Blu-ray.

Nu blev i alla fall jag väldigt nyfiken. Som sagt, Josh brukar inte ha fel... men vi får väl vänta och se om han fått "rätt" info viskad i sitt öra även denna gång. Spännande minst sagt (om nu ngt kan var spännande inom ett sådant här område, men det kan det väl antar jag?
