Will Warner Bros. Endorse Blu-ray?
[/B]

Studio executive hints that dual-format policy may be changing.
By Swanni
 
Washington, D.C. (October 30, 2007) -- Warner Bros. has been neutral in the Blu-ray-HD DVD disc war, releasing movies in both high-def formats.

However, that policy may be changing, says a top Warner executive.

Dan Silverberg, Warner\'s vice president of High-Definition media, hinted Monday at a Blu-ray briefing for the media that the studio might soon endorse Blu-ray.

Warner is now the only major studio that releases movies in both formats; two support HD DVD exclusively while four have endorsed Blu-ray.

But Home Media Magazine reports that Silverberg believes that Blu-ray may be winning the format war and, consequently, it may be time for the studio to pick one over the other.

“One thing that may be changing is our strategy,” he said. “When both formats launched and hardware prices were high, we made a decision to support both formats and let the consumer decide. But now that hardware pricing is affordable for both Blu-ray and HD DVD, it appears consumers no longer want to decide — so the notion of staying in two formats for the duration is something we are re-evaluating now that we are in the fourth quarter.”

The Warner executive noted that Blu-ray sales have topped HD DVD by a 2-1 margin over the last nine months.

While he didn\'t come out and endorse Blu-ray, it sounded like the studio had a clear favorite if it decides to endorse one format.

“We can definitely talk Blu-ray,” he said. “We are committed to the format.”

Warner\'s decision to support Blu-ray over HD DVD could have a major impact on the high-def disc format war. Without Warner, HD DVD\'s catalogue would only include titles from two studios.

Get back to me when disc prices lower, player prices lower and the mainstream actually gives a rat\'s ass.

As of now, HD is a joke for most people.

You guys hear the triple layer HD-DVD news?

http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/09/dvd-forum-approves-51gb-hd-dvd/

Basically they added another layer and squeezed some more data pits into the disc for 51gb.  Guess the extra 1 is to spite blu-ray :p

not sure if this works with current players

It doesn\'t work with any of the current players.

How exactly does dual layer and triple layering work. I tried reading online but was still unclear.

It is a matter of time until blu ray becomes cheaper and mainstream. Just like every new technology

From one of the replies, it\'s like another HD DVD player.

The PS3 has the fastest bootup of any Hi Def player on the market (BR and HD DVD players). I might get the $399 PS3 as a dedicated BR player once the market goes exclusive to BR (if that happens).

you\'re going to get a ps3 as a BR player because it boots up the fastest? Is 2 minutes really that big of a deal for other players bootups? (i made up the number but you get my point)

can take a piss, grab some food, etc while the things booting up...should only be looking at quality/price

More than that, of course. It gets more regular patches than other dedicated players.

I\'m gonna end up going with both formats myself.  Picked up an HD-DVD drive for the 360 cause at $130, the price was right.  Will get a PS3 eventually as well.
