Gino Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Anyone notice this post in the Insiders thread: http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread....p;#post10121932 Amir,Will the "The Fifth Element" HD DVD, one can see on the http://www.thisishddvd.com/ website (from the bottom left corner it is three rows up and one to the right), be a new VC1 encoding? Is it a european Fox/Pathe release? Yes, it is the Europe release. And yes, it is a new VC-1 encode. I have not seen it but have been told it is better than the MPEG-2 BD version.

AndrewW Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 yeeha! I wonder when this will be released, as I will be in France for six weeks from the end of April Starting to make up an HD shopping list right now Andrew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gino Posted March 26, 2007 Author Share Posted March 26, 2007 Yes, this movie is terrific, and will also be great for showing off both sound and visual eye candy. Also great to hear that they won't be botching it up as badly as the BluRay version. The 1080i broadcast in the US of the fifth element was much better than the BD copy.

Hydrology Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Looking forward to this one on..... HD-DVD. A premier Columbia (see Sony) being outdone on its rival format. Cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewW Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 I only responded quickly to this thread at first, because I was at work. I am very very excited about this. The Fifth Element was the first DVD I ever bought (blind buy based on Bruce Willis + Milo Jovovich on the cover ). Every time I order from Amazon I am tempted to purchase the BD version, but have held back due to the crappy reviews. Lets hope they make this one a reference transfer. Andrew.

According to Amir, the VC1 encode being used is supposed to be very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gino Posted March 29, 2007 Author Share Posted March 29, 2007 I know... it sux, I read this yesterday that he was confused with a different movie. I was hoping it was an early April fool's joke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewW Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 its not coming out he made a mistake, sony is re-releasing it with a new re-code. So it's being re-released on BD with a decent encode ? All is not lost then, at least for us dual format owners. Andrew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
