"300" Outlines HD DVD, Blu-ray Disc Differences

*polonyc2* · 08-03-2007, 03:53 PM

This week’s home video movie releases will bring with it a disc that will clearly outline the differences in feature sets of HD DVD and Blu-ray Disc

Found only on the HD DVD version is the "Bluescreen Picture-in-Picture Version" of the film. As “300” was shot almost completely in a bluescreen-laden warehouse in Canada, the raw footage differs greatly from the movie’s final look. Viewers are able to directly compare the before and after shots through a picture-in-picture window that can be dynamically enabled or disabled. Running alongside the pre-processed footage is an exclusive commentary track by director Zack Snyder recorded specifically for the special feature.

The bluescreen supplement is not found on the Blu-ray Disc version of the film...

Hmmm... a neat but exceptionally useless feature for someone like me. The only difference I would care about it which one looks better, sounds better, or is cheaper. I don't think this should be considered an "outline" difference.

Still, it's always funny to see the bluescreen footage. They always look so goofy!

It'd probably be helpful for film students or iMovie people that want to make their own cheesy YouTube videos....now to find a green screen.

Man, that is such a non-starter for me. I haven't made up my mind about either of the Hi-Def formats but all I ever want to do is watch the movie with the best sound and picture I can afford. I never touch the "extras" or any of the "behind the scenes" stuff.

Well I HOPE HD-DVD doesn't die, 'cause I've started buying HD-DVDs for my Xbox360 HD DVD player!
