I'm not sure if people will find this helpful or not, but lets give it a try and see. I'll update this whenever new titles are announced. I'll only add it to this thread if it has a release date. Feel free to let me know what I'm missing or tell me of any corrections and I'll update the thread.

Information on many of the upcoming releases for both formats is scarce, so don't assume there is no TrueHD etc just because it's not yet listed.

Please keep this as an information thread and avoid debating who has more/better releases. Thanks.

Ok guys, what have I missed and what have I got wrong?

[Noggin1980]

One more reserved post in case I'm bored tomorrow and want to add, Asian, European releases

[zamwessell]

Brilliant thread,just what i needed

[Nic Rhodes]

This is the sort of stuff that should be a sticky, we currently have two threads that are stickies that don't deserve to be. Namelly the HD DVD vs Blu-ray - which do you think will win? and the If region coding is not crackable on HD DVD and Blu-ray, will you still buy either?

[supermackem]

Agree make it a stickey please, contains alot of info both format supports will find handy.

[Noggin1980]

Updated

V for Vendetta gets a True HD track.

Legends of Jazz added for Blu-ray coming with PCM & the first blu-ray TrueHD track on October 23rd.

Added PCM to the currently released blu-ray section.

If you would like this as a sticky you should PM welwynnick and ask:)

Thanks, just done that, was a bit embarassing asking for my own thread to be sticked, but we will see what he says.

Why is King Kong not TrueHD :confused:

Just had a thought, wait till it sells well then bring out a TrueHD version to make more £. :mad:

[Noggin1980]

Just had a thought, wait till it sells well then bring out a TrueHD version to make more £. :mad:

King Kong is still over a month away, Audio specs havn't been announced. Universal tend to at least have 1.5Mbps DD+ tracks anyway. So even if it doesn't have TrueHD I'm sure it will sound fantastic.

[lfletcher]

Why is King Kong not TrueHD :confused:

Just had a thought, wait till it sells well then bring out a TrueHD version to make more £. :mad:I know, it does seem a little backward thinking that Universals biggest title to date will more than likely have an excellent picture, but not quite the soundtrack to go with it :confused: I'd like to know why the 3 Fast & The Furious films also had their TrueHD soundtracks dropped at the last minute as well.
And another vote to make this thread a sticky. :smashin:

[klacey]

Sticky, sticky, sticky.....................:grin:

[Gliese 581c]

sticky for me too :thumbsup:

[welwynnick]

Sorry I'm late; I've just got back from installing a friends new 26" Panny LCD in her new cottage. ;)

Anyway, a sticky it certainly is.

I will probably delete all the thank you and and sticky request posts sometime next week, to keep this on thread.

Cheers, Nick

[Noggin1980]

Thanks for the sticky Nick, I'll make sure to keep it nice and up to date.

[lfletcher]

Should we also include the European and Japanese releases (perhaps only the titles that aren't available in the US)?

[Noggin1980]

Should we also include the European and Japanese releases (perhaps only the titles that aren't available in the US)?
I definatly think so and have reserved the 5th and 6th posts of this thread for that purpose.

However I havn't decided exactly how and what to show yet and I'm not confident enough in some of the information ie plays listings to put it up incase it misleads. So I've been putting off writing it.

For HD-DVD I definatly think a europe and asia section is needed, I too think just the releases that aren’t available from the US would make it easier to read . Does anyone know of a good site in English where I can see the asian titles and hopefully read reviews or specs, I've only heard about people importing brothers grimm, Equilibrium and Jersey Girl so far. There also seems to be a bit of confusion about weather there will be forced subtitles on French releases and studio canal haven’t announced English releases yet. It's all a bit up in the air atm.

For Blu-ray I'm not sure. Since people will need to pick one region the Asian releases are pointless I think. So should I do a European section including every release? or just leave blu-ray with the American releases only? I don't think there has been any titles annouced in europe that america doesn't have.

thoughts?

[lfletcher]

www.CDJapan.co.jp will give you releases for both HD-DVD and Blu Ray - I think the specs for released titles are ok, but pre-release info isnt normally very accurate.

For Blu Ray - Japan and Korea are both in Region A, so will play on the US players.

If you want any help with the Japanese releases let me know as I tend to keep quite up to date with whats coming.

[lfletcher]

Hang on, is Saw 3 even out this year? Can someone confirm this and when it is out in UK CinemasYes, when they released the second one, they had planned to release the third one a year later. From IMDB Saw 2 came out 28 October 2005 and the third one is scheduled to be released 27 October 2006 (US and UK release).

[Noggin1980]

The Thing & 12 Monkeys don't have TrueHD soundtracks sadly .

Are you sure? they both have it listed on highdefdigest.com. if you have a link that shows they don't I'll remove it.

I'm still planning to do the asian and europeon bit btw, but I'm busy most of this weekend so it will be monday.

[Adam_uk]

These R1 combo discs, are they region locked?

Or is the DVD part just region locked?

[BenchyUK]

Yes, when they released the second one, they had planned to release the third one a year later. From IMDB Saw 2 came out 28 October 2005 and the third one is scheduled to be released 27 October 2006 (US and UK release).

I have just passed out..... alright now. The SAW films are my favourite and didn't think the third was out until next year

[lfletcher]

These R1 combo discs, are they region locked?

Or is the DVD part just region locked?The DVD side will be region locked (to region 1) and will play in any DVD player that can read region 1 discs. There is no region coding on the HD-DVD side of the disc.

[Adam_uk]

I seem to remember when dual sided DVD's came out people hated them with a passion.

Should they not release HD DVD versions? Or could they not make then dual layered one layer HD DVD and the other DVD?

[StooMonster]

I have just passed out..... alright now. The SAW films are my favourite and didn't think the third was out until next year
The first one was okay, but the second one was terrible ... shiver to think how bad the third one will be. Can it be worse than Final Destination 3? ;)

I have both movies :grin: hopefully i will have time to watch one today.

[Wild Weasel]

DVD Pacific have despatched 'The Thing' to me already, despite it not being officially released until the 24th Oct. If only I had something to play it on LOL.

I'll get a XBOX 360 HD-DVD drive when they're released in a month or two.

I seem to remember buying a DVD disk ('Contact' IIRC) before I had anything to play that on too. :)

[richard plumb]

Very useful list - thanks noggin.
I think it'll be important to clearly indicate regions for bluray (because it has them) - not so much for hddvd. You could almost just include euro/asian discs in the main list with a little tag to six its not from the us.
Bluray is tricky. I'd like to see japanese releases as they are the same region as the us. Them perhaps region b later on?

[Adam_uk]

Also are all the US combo discs released in the US confirmed to be combo discs when they are launched in Europe?

[Noggin1980]

I have both movies :grin: hopefully i will have time to watch one today.

Well that's better than any link, thanks. updated

[Noggin1980]

Added Lady in the water (Dec 19) to both formats and removed the unconfirmed tags from World Trade center now it has been offically announced.

[lfletcher]

A few updates,

Blu Ray
From Hell - BD50, AVC, BD-J enhancements
Rising Sun - AVC

HD-DVD
Lady In The Water - TrueHD

And a few new (tentative) dates,

02/01/07
Lucky Number Slevin
Clerks 2
Pulse

Is it worth tracking codecs on the Blu Ray titles as this subject seems quite close to peoples hearts?
Also what about titles that have 48kHz/24 bit soundtracks (i.e. Dinosaur has a PCM (48/24) soundtrack rather than just normal pcm and I think other new Disney titles do as well).

[rauer]

:smashin:

A list of films that will be released on both formats might be interesting.

[Noggin1980]

Updated

HD-DVD

Added True HD to Lady in the water.

Added the following with unconfirmed tags to Jan 2nd 07

Lucky Number Slevin
Clerks 2
Pulse

I assume they are all Weinstein and currently HD-DVD only Lfletcher?

Moved Oct 17th titles to currently released section.

Blu-ray

Added BD50 and BD-J to from Hell.

Moved Oct 17th titles to currently released section.

Removed Gattaca (Sony) & The Professionals (Sony) that were meant to be realeased yesturday as Sony has delayed them and they now have no date, please let me know if someone knows of the new date for these if there is one.

Added PCM to Darkwater, The Haunted Mansion, Gone in 60 Seconds, Glory Road, The Brothers Grimm

I agree with you Lfletcher on adding Mpeg2/AVC/VC-1 to the blu-ray section. I will do so shortly.

[lfletcher]

I assume they are all Weinstein and currently HD-DVD only Lfletcher?Yes, all 3 are Weinsteins and HD-DVD only.

Got a few more very tentative ones,

HD-DVD, 14/11/06 Green Mile (Warner)
Blu Ray, 14/11/06 X-Men 3 (Fox)

I agree with you Lfletcher on adding Mpeg2/AVC/VC-1 to the blu-ray section. I will do so shortly.Here's a helping hand,

Paramount - All current releases mpeg2, MI3 also supposed to be mpeg2

Sony - All current releases mpeg2

Lionsgate - All current releases mpeg2, Descent also confirmed mpeg2

Disney - All releases mpeg2 apart from the following, which are AVC - Great Raid, 8 Below, Glory Road, Gone In 60 Seconds and Brothers Grimm.

Warner - All VC-1 (inc Superman Returns) apart from the following which are mpeg2, Good Night, and Good Luck, Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang, Rumor Has It, Training Day and Full Metal Jacket (you might want to double check that list, but I believe its correct).

Fox - Seems to be some conflicting reports at the moment (some sites say all Fox titles are using AVC, but the original and subsequent press releases indicate AVC and mpeg2, so thats the list I'll work from). All mpeg2 apart from the following which are AVC, From Hell, Rising Sun, Behind Enemy Lines, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and Speed.

[Noggin1980]

Many thanks mate, that made life much easier. I've currently left coming paramount (other than MI:3) and Disney titles blank as it's hard to find the answer either way.

Excuse me for being a clueless about this - what's the difference between True HD, Combo, those with neither etc?

Combo - The disc has the HD-DVD movie on one side and a DVD movie on the other side. This is good if you want to use the movie in a different room without a HD-DVD player or the car or to lend the movie to your friends. It also allows people who plan to invest in HD-DVD but havn't yet to buy this movie and still play it. It has the downside of being slightly more expensive.

True HD - is a codec for audio. It's lossless so the soundtrack will sound great. Better than a movie without this feature.

[warbie]

Thanks for that. The rest are just HD-DVDs then?

Info gleaned from HMV, Play and Amazon UK. Don't know if people would prefer UK releases in a separate sticky to U.S.? Could get a little large as a worldwide thread. May also help with the dreaded region coding.

It would also be helpful I think if people with UK players could state which imported titles on Blu-ray will play. Ditto, which UK titles play on imported players if people fancy trying.

Found this, anything new?

'European distributors 2 Entertain Ltd, StudioCanal and Pathe Distribution have also announced launch titles. 2 Entertain will sell the BBC documentary series Planet Earth, while StudioCanal has a pan-European launch lineup (with Momentum Pictures handling the UK distribution) which includes Basic Instinct, The Pianist, La Haine, Total Recall, John Carpenter’s The Fog, First Blood, Rambo: First Blood Part II, Rambo III, The Elephant Man and the 1976 version of King Kong.

The studio has also announced that Arizona Dream, The Deer Hunter, Brotherhood of the Wolf, Mulholland Drive, We Were Soldiers, Terminator 2: Judgement Day, Traffic, Leaving Las Vegas, The Graduate, Million Dollar Baby, Serpico and Ran will follow in March 2007.'

This on HD-DVD? If so I'm VERY happy. The elephant man, Mulholland Drive and the Deer Hunter are easy pre-orders for me.

[Jeff]

yes, Studio Canal are HD-DVD exclusive.

I would really like to see Face Off in HD, hope it's released on HD-DVD, no idea which studio it came from.

Also, U2 Vertigo tour would be awesome in HD and higher quality audio. Rattle and Hum is already out in the States.

Buena Vista I believe. So that means BR

Hi is it me or is it mad that there is no date for a hd-dvd of Pirates Of The Caribbean 2: Dead Man's Chest in the u.k or u.s.a or are thay going to pull the old double dip and put it out in 2 or 3 months me thinks :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Hi is it me or is it mad that there is no date for a hd-dvd of Pirates Of The Caribbean 2: Dead Man's Chest in the u.k or u.s.a or are thay going to pull the old double dip and put it out in 2 or 3 months me thinks :rolleyes: :rolleyes:Pirates Of The Caribbean is a Disney title. They support Blu Ray, so for the time being certainly no HD-DVD version of either in any region. For the record Disney have also stated that they have no plans to release Pirates 2 anytime soon (or Cars) on Blu Ray - I believe they want a bigger market for those two. The first film had a December release date on BD in Japan, but thay got pushed till next Spring.

[Nic Rhodes]

You need to be careful about calling these films 'Pirates' and 'Pirates 2' ;) Pirates, I believe is coming out on HD DVD (or may be out already), but may not be suitable for all age groups :) but also has lots of pretty girls, just with less clothes....

[Geoff_D]

I would really like to see Face Off in HD, hope it's released on HD-DVD, no idea which studio it came from.
Buena Vista for Europe, but Paramount are the distributors of this movie for the US so in all likelihood John Woo's classic bullet ballet will end up on US HD-DVD.

[BuFF DaDDy]

Heard rumours about Resident Evil on HD DVD, anyone know a release date yet?

[lfletcher]

Heard rumours about Resident Evil on HD DVD, anyone know a release date yet?Resident Evil came out in Japan (it was bundled with the player but not available sperately). Won't see RE in the US on HD-DVD, but it may appear in another region.

[lfletcher]

Some more new releases,

05/12/06 - National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (Warner) - HD-DVD & BD
05/12/06 - A Christmas Story (Warner) - HD-DVD & BD

These 2 are not confirmed as they have popped up on DVDPacific for pre-order,

23/01/2007 - Chicago (Disney) - BD
23/01/2007 - Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy (Disney) - BD

Looks like Flightplan has been delayed till 19/12/2006 and Layer Cake appears to have fallen off the release schedule as well.

[Rasczak]

05/12/06 - National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (Warner) - HD-DVD & BD
I know this thread is for US releases but people may be interested to know the above title is set to be released on the 4th December in the UK (HD DVD and BD). Just incase anyone wants this Christmas title for Christmas without running the gauntlet of seasonal post :thumbsup: No idea if the release will be region coded on BD.

23/01/2007 - Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy (Disney) - BD

[Noggin1980]

Sorry guys, been very busy with hassling solicitors and banks and moving into the new house. Today was my first proper free day and I fully intended to spend an hour or so updateing this.

The news that the E1 might miss christmas though has completely killed my enthusiasm and if someone else like lfletcher would like to take over doing this please do. Just copy my first 4 posts into your own thread and go from there.

They just killed my excitement and I now have no desire to spend an hour or so doing this sorry. Missing Christmas is just such a terrible terrible way to start a new format.:thumbsdow

[BadAss]

Sorry to hear you don't want to do this anymore Noggin1980. The delay with the BDP-S1 was the reason I ended up with the Samsung, try not to be bitter. Can't you just buy a HD-A1 instead or was there features on the E1 you can't live without?

[lfletcher]

HD-DVD new releases,

16/01/07 - The Sting (Universal)
16/01/07 - The Mummy Returns (Universal)

[Noggin1980]

Sorry to hear you don't want to do this anymore Noggin1980. The delay with the BDP-S1 was the reason I ended up with the Samsung, try not to be bitter. Can't you just buy a HD-A1 instead or was there features on the E1 you can't live without?

I'm not bitter, just disapointed christmas won't be as perfect as I hoped. It's our first every christmas in our own home. I'm sure the lack of HD won't matter much, family is the main thing. I'm sure I'll be all excited for it again once the release date gets closer again. was just annoyed with it this morning. My enthusasim has gone for now though but I'm sure it will be back shortly.

I need the player to do Region2 unfortunatly otherwise I'd have brought an A1 along time ago. Haveing 2 DVD players isn't something my wife would like, we have enough boxes under the TV as it is.

Thanks for the post though, I did come off a bit overly grumpy, it is only a piece of electrical equipment after all.

[BadAss]

It is anoying when things get delayed, but supporting BD you get use to it.:rolleyes:

Having films sitting there waiting to be played is agony I know. I hope you get it in time for Christmas.

[tausifs]

Just played a copy of King Kong HD-DVD I got from Movietyme. To cut to the chase, it is the best transfer to to HD-DVD I've seen yet, IMHO, slightly better than Batman, T3, Chocolate factory, Apollo 13, and Troy which were all pretty good.

They all do close up shots well but IMO, the most tantalizing moments are the long distance shots when your can see subtle details in the distance and subtle movement. In Batman begins I must admit to feeling slightly disappointed (wait for it) on the long shots of Gotham at night. Maybe as its all CG, the source material itself wasn't that detailed. But anyway, that's what I thought - it is a good transfer otherwise.

[Nic Rhodes]

Impressive disc for sure but I still struggle with the colours on this film, just like I did with the DVD. One of, if not the best to date though. Wow.

[tausifs]

Sopranos, The: Season 6, Part 1 (HD-DVD)

This is a good link for European HD-DVD's.

Glad to see 'Rides' the Discovery HD program is coming to HD-DVD.

[richard plumb]

noggin, you not got any R1 DVDs you need to play? Any other devices you could use for R2 playback (PS2, Xbox 360?) I bet you could hide a little slim R2 player under the A1 and it'd look like one machine :P

[sideysid]

Sorry if this has arisen before, but are there any releases as of yet/announced that have any higher than 5.1 TrueHD or DTS-HD audio?

[Nic Rhodes]

Higher what? Number of channels, bit rate, frequency of sampling, quality?

[sideysid]

Higher what? Number of channels, bit rate, frequency of sampling, quality?

Sorry; higher number of channels...

Thinking faster than I can type again... :rolleyes:

[Nic Rhodes]

BD has already got 6.1 in many of the Fox releases like X3. HD DVD will get Ghost in the Shell 2 'soon' which is likely to be a 7.1 release. The vast majority are staying to 5.1 at the moment.

[richard plumb]

whats the situation with this thread - is someone going to continue to look after it? If not the OP then I can unsticky it and someone else can copy/paste the original post into a new thread that I can sticky.

[lfletcher]

Is this thread actually useful and do people use it? If so, as I tend to keep an eye on whats coming out I can try to keep it up to date. Otherwise we might as well let it die a graceful death as there are other forums that maintain this info.

[Nic Rhodes]

I would find it useful.

[amardilo]

I find this thread useful and think its a great idea. But it would be even better if I knew the European/UK release dates for certain discs.

On a side note has anyone got the "Mission: Impossible - Ultimate Missions Collection" boxset? Is it any good?

There seems to be loads and loads of action....ish films on HD DVD can anyone recommend a different genre? I like comedy films as well, anyone know of those or family films due this month in the UK?

[lfletcher]

Right, it seems as this thread is no longer going to be updated. Does a mod want to unsticky it and I will create a new one over the weekend?

[richard plumb]

done. Thanks lfletcher

[lfletcher]

OK, after two attempts of trying to setup a new thread and having them both deleted I think I'll take a raincheck on trying to maintain this. It takes quite a while to collate all the information and I'm certainly not going to be able to do it in one go, hence why I created a container thread. So if someone else wants to do it, feel free.

[richard plumb]

understood, thanks anyway.

You could just start a thread with a copy/paste from the opening post of this thread (perhaps spread across a few posts to give you edit space later on)? Then update it when you have time?

[lfletcher]

understood, thanks anyway.

You could just start a thread with a copy/paste from the opening post of this thread (perhaps spread across a few posts to give you edit space later on)? Then update it when you have time?I can do that, but I worked out that I need 10 posts to split it the way I want. If I copy and paste the first few posts here and leave another 6 blank is a mod going to delete the thread again?
Also what forum should it go in? The original thread was in here. My new one got deleted because its a disc based thread, but I still see individual movie discussions happening here? Any chance we can get a subforum for HD software either in here (making it similar to AVS) or in the Movie forum?
I've had the posted deleted from 2 different ones so far, maybe I can get a hatrick :grin:

[sinizterguy]

PM the mod who deals with this section and tell him what you want to do. I am sure they will help you out.

[Ian J]

Upcoming releases will be detailed on AV Play from next month onwards so a thread here will be unnecessary

[Seth Gecko]

As Ian says, we're listening and we're going to be adding more release dates, news and schedule of both HD-DVD and Blu-Ray titles over the coming weeks. :)

[lfletcher]

Upcoming releases will be detailed on AV Play from next month onwards so a thread here will be unnecessaryWill it include UK releases or just US? What about releases from Spain/Germany/France/Japan etc that will have releases that the US doesn't? How detailed will it be (i.e. will there be codec, soundtrack info, etc)?

[Phil Hinton]

Will it include UK releases or just US? What about releases from Spain/Germany/France/Japan etc that will have releases that the US doesn't? How detailed will it be (i.e. will there be codec, soundtrack info, etc)?

We will look at ways in which users can send us links to update the calander when they find out release details, so it will be done with the help of everyone here hopefully, so everyone has a vested interest in making sure it is fully updated.
