In fact, they should be embarrassed about this disc. Seriously, if you compare the upscaled Superbit standard-definition DVD to this, the Blu-ray Disc looks only marginally better. This should have been a reference title in high-def and its not even in the ball park. My brow furrowed in troubled surprise at this point. and not the good kind. Next, I tried The Terminator. A big improvement. This is easily the best quality Ive ever seen The Terminator looking before. its a little bit soft and gritty looking, but then its an older film and thats the nature of the film stock used. The disc is very good looking, but not blow-you-away good. In any case, this is probably not the best title to test the video quality of Blu-ray Disc, so lets move on. Now these two Lionsgate theyre much better looking. Crash and Lord of War have significantly improved clarity, crisp yet clean detail, vibrant theyre much more like what I expected Blu-ray Disc would look like. Both have a more film-like image. And There are some problems Im seeing right away with all of the Blu-ray Disc titles on the BD-P10 First, when I switch to 1080i, Im noticing some very obvious scaling issues that I dont see when the player is set to 720p. I also dont see anything like this on the Toshiba HD-A1 at any resolution, so this is specific to THIS player, which may be why Samsung ships it with 720p set by default. Second, Im noticing a very slight studdering problem. About once a second, or maybe once every few seconds, the video seems to hesitate for just a instant a tiny fraction of a second. You notice it most when the images on screen are moving quickly, or when the camera is panning. It may be that this issue is related to the first. Still trying to figure out what Im seeing here. Lionsgates Lord of War was the title where I noticed it first, and Ill have to check them all before knowing whether its just this title or all of the discs. Again, running scared trailer billy crystal not something Ive seen on any HD-DVD titles thus far. By the way, I havent tested the Samsungs standard DVD upconversion capability to any real degree yet. Just FYI. If I had to compare my initial impressions of Blu-ray Disc to those of well, I certainly need to see more Blu-ray titles and spend more time with the player. Im really just giving you my initial, off-the-cuff comments, based on less than 10 hours of viewing time with the Samsung. Its worth noting that weve only seen one player for each format, so its hard to say what issues are specifically related to the players, and what are format related. But right I think I may end up giving Round One of this format war to HD-DVD, and that surprises the hell out of me. Sure, that Tosh HD-DVD player was a lemon until the firmware upgrade, but its worked like a charm since. And running scared trailer billy crystal first 25 or so HD-DVD discs Ive viewed just look better overall than the first 4 Blu-ray Discs Ive seen. The HD-DVDs also have a LOT more extra features than the Blu-ray Discs even if you consider that most of the extras are recycled from standard DVD. For the record, Terminator on Blu-ray has 7 deleted scenes and 2 featurettes, recycled from standard DVD. Fifth Element has a pop-up trivia track, again from the standard DVD. The Lionsgate titles have nothing. I keep hearing these comments both official and unofficial from Blu-ray execs saying that theyre leaving off the extras so they can give all the extra disc space over to the best video quality possible. Which tells me that Blu-ray is having major disc space problems. Ive heard from more than a few industry sources that Blu-ray is having trouble getting the dual-layered BD media to work, which means that discs with lots of extras and good video quality arent an option now. It also means that longer movies arent an option now either. Both are problems for this format that dont seem to be troubling HD-DVD at the moment at least not at first glance, based on the initial title offering.
