I can't wait to see LotR on Blu. New Line will give it a Blu-Ray specific encode now, instead of porting over the low bitrate HD DVD bitrate like Warner has been doing for all it's releases.

Isn't the bitrate is to squeeze it all on one disc, not due to HD-DVD matching?

The first Blu-Ray specific encode from either studio was New Line's Shoot 'Em Up, released just a few days ago. If that wasn't a hint at things to come, I don't know what was, lol.

Lol? Now I'm wondering if you are really about blu-ray over gloating.

 

I'm confused about that first bit...

I mean that blu-ray releases tend to be on one disc, while HD-DVD releases tend to be on two. Since a blu-ray release would have to squeeze the movie along with the extras, something would have to be dropped to fit in the higher bitrate, unless they wise up and realize only blu-ray fanboys care about multi-disc releases.

And as to the second bit, I was just pointing out that Shoot 'Em Up may have been more than just a fluke/coincidence.

Okay, I stand corrected.
