What have you seen or own on Blu-ray?

[CuckingFunt]

On BluRay, I have:

American History X
The Dark Knight
Death Race
District 9
Donnie Darko
Bram Stoker's Dracula
Firefly: The Complete Series
Inglorious Basterds
Iron Man
L.A. Confidential
Pan's Labyrinth
Sleeping Beauty
Wall-E
Watchmen: The Ultimate Cut

They all look amazing, and there are a ton more that I want on BluRay, but I'm trying to be good and stop spending money on frivolous things.

Bram Stoker's Dracula

oh damn. i haven't seen that one. i'm no fan of the vampire genre, but that is a great movie.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

I'm not sure what's in the normal edition of T2 but you get quite a load of features like the theatrical and special edition cuts (15 mins more footage), 6.1 DTS, Picture-in-picture of behind the scenes video, text commentaries and multimedia galleries, Storyboard-script mode,interactive quizzes and games, commentary with cast, commentary with director, and a bunch of internet feature you can DL on your PS3 with BD-Live. You probably want that one if you're a big fan.

hmm. i may have to check it out

The PS3 only supports FAT32 file format (not NTFS), so the largest size of a file you can have is 4GB. I use mkv2vob to re-mux a MKV HD file into a VOB, split in 4GB files. I takes about 10 minutes to do.

I use a flash drive to transfer it over. An alternative (what a friend of mine does) is buy an external USB drive formatted FAT32 and just play your collection of converted HD movies from there.

huh. no NTFS support?! i didn't even think about looking at that. that's strange. i didn't know the PS3 read VOB's. i guess i could do that. i'd also thought of getting a dedicated HD for it as well. thanks for the FAT32 tip, though. i'd have gone crazy if i didn't know that and tried to hook one up.

You're surprised that a product made by Sony doesn't support a file system developed by Microsoft?

Here's my baby:

it reads wmv wma...............................

My point is exactly what I ing said.

VC-1 isn't proprietary.

[resistanze]

I have a 400 GB external USB drive I store all my on. I should probably just offload all my onto my 1 TB desktop drive and use that for my PS3 HD movies.

Just another heads up, amazon.co.uk has some pretty kickass deals of BDs, usually region free. You can get the Bourne/Matrix Triolgies for $30, Shawshank/Goodellas/etc. for about $12.

And when the is BTTF coming out on Blu-Ray?

[Viva Las Espuelas]

It's a wmv file im having trouble with, genius.

[PM5K]

I don't care what your trouble is. You're telling me you're surprised that a Sony console doesn't support a proprietary Microsoft file system, I don't see what's so surprising about that, which is my ing point. The PS3 also didn't support WMA's or WMV's (VC-1) initially.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

[PM5K]

The fact that you can't figure out how to play a file on your PS3 really says everything I need to know about you.

you're funny. why haven't i found you earlier.

[PM5K]

Because you're re ed.

What you want to do is download rips of Blu-Ray movies, and then burn them to dual layer dvd's.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

I ask cuz I tried downloading the matrix but it gets in a loop of sorts and downloads twice the data compared to the size of the actual file. It was an 8 gb movie. I have a ps3 slim.

The PS3 only supports FAT32 file format (not NTFS), so the largest size of a file you can have is 4GB. I use mkv2vob to re-mux a MKV HD file into a VOB, split in 4GB files. I takes about 10 minutes to do.

yeah. i'm re ed

[PM5K]

Yeah you are, what the was all of that quoting supposed to prove?

I'm going to assume (and hope I'm right) that you're not being sarcastic...

I would guess that dual layer DVDs are cheaper than blank Blu-Rays. Is there any loss in audio/video quality?

Of course there is.

[Fpoonsie]

Of course there is.

Oooook. I admit, my question wasn't very clear. Is there substantial enough a drop-off in quality to conclude that you were simply being a smart-ass with your initial suggestion?

No, that hard drive photo I posted should tell you I wasn't being a smart-ass with my initial suggestion.

[resistanze]

I've lost track of this thread but I will say that a nice Blu-Ray rip is indistinguishable from a BD. I actually downloaded Watchmen days before getting the Ultimate Collection for dirt cheap, and I couldn't tell the difference between the two, even though I was comparing a 720p mkv rip to a 1080p BD. The Fight Club mkv downloaded OTOH looked like crap.

[Mark in Austin]

Right now the ones I think look the best that I own are:

Planet Earth
Kingdom of Heaven Director's Cut
Casino Royale
Kung Fu Panda
Dark Knight
Star Trek

My two favorite sequences right now are the Hong Kong IMAX footage from The Dark Knight and the first chase through the construction site in Casino Royale. Those crane jumps are just insane.

I just got Heat, The Hurt Locker, and True Romance; but haven't been able to watch them yet. I have high hopes for the transfer on all three.

[Mister Sinister]

Own:
Watchmen : Ultimate Cut
Harry Potter 6
GI Joe
Wolverine (Origins)
Heroes (Seasons 1-3)

Seen
Bayformers (both)

I don't own ANY Blurays because they are too expensive. I just rent from BB online for blurays and that's all I ever see movies in nowadays.

One thing that pisses me off about Bluray at BB is their selection. It's ONE little half a column of shelves. Really? In this day and age of high def and everyone jumping on the bandwagon... I have the selection of .01% of shelf space? GTFO

It depends entirely on each individual store's size and inventory. I work at the BB in Hickory Creek and we have 3 bays of Blu-Ray new releases on the wall, and then 3 aisles of Blu-Ray "favorites".

They also have a lot more online, but I'm assuming you already knew that.

[ATRAIN]

I heard Sunshine is great on bluray. I think im going to netflix it.
