Pioneer Unveils $299 Combo Drive

Posted April 18, 2007 07:43 AM by Josh Dreuth

In a welcome move from the industry, Pioneer has unveiled their BDC-S02 combo drive - a low cost alternative for those looking to playback Blu-ray discs on their PC without the added cost of purchasing a burner. The combo drive will play Blu-ray movies, as well as read any stored information off of BD-ROM, BD-R, and BD-RE discs (both single and dual layer). Additionally, the drive with read and burn DVD and CD media, providing full support to be a direct replacement to a DVD burner without losing capability. Currently, the only Blu-ray PC drives on the market are burners, which provide support for Blu-ray playback, but retail in the $500+ range. The BDC-S02 is the first Blu-ray drive on the market to break that range. Pioneer said the drive was immediately available for purchase in China and will be available soon in other markets around the world.

Panasonic DMP-BD10 Firmware 2.0

Posted April 17, 2007 07:58 AM by Josh Dreuth

Panasonic has released the firmware upgrade that BD10 owners have been waiting for since first receiving their players back in October. The upgrade will allow the players to now decode Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD High Resolution audio streams. Other enhancements included enhanced EZ Sync/VIErA Link functionality and improved player performance and stability. Notably missing from the list is DTS-HD Master Audio, which is the lossless audio codec developed by DTS (and used on all Fox releases). Currently, sources indicate that the Sigma chip inside the BD10 will not support decoding of DTS-HD MA because of the increasing amount of resources necessary to decode the audio stream. Owners should not expect this codec to be supported at any time in the future on this machine. Even without DTS-HD MA, the inclusion of DTS-HD HR is a nice addition to the player's capabilities. Many Lionsgate films take advantage of this lossy codec, which supports much higher bitrates than current DTS audio streams. Dolby TrueHD support will be a welcome addition to owners of the “Beside You In Time” release, and is expected to become the main lossless audio codec as Warner and Sony have already announced titles utilizing its capabilities. Click on the Source below to download the firmware. UPDATE: Initially, there was an error with the download. That error has since been corrected, and all BD10 owners are recommended to follow the source link and download the new firmware.

BD+ Titles Coming Soon

Posted April 13, 2007 05:16 PM by Josh Dreuth

In response to the attacks on AACS (the encryption system used to protect against piracy of Blu-ray and HD DVD discs) the Blu-ray Disc Association (BDA) has accelerated the time table for implementing BD-Plus. Earlier this year, a flaw was found in PC-based Blu-ray and HD DVD player software, allowing users to obtain the title keys necessary to freely copy content of the disc onto a hard drive. Since then, HD titles have appeared on Torrent sites and other underground networks. BD-Plus (BD+) is an encryption system completely separate from AACS, which helps prevent Blu-ray discs from being copied to a user's computer far beyond what AACS was designed to do. BD+ allows the disc to install a small piece of encryption software on a player, meaning that each disc can have its own key instead of each disc of a particular movie having the same key. This allows a single disc to be rejected, effectively punishing the person stealing the content, instead of everyone who owns that movie. Sources indicate that player compatibility testing has ended, and that studios have had test discs for the last few months. Once BD+ is available - which Sony Pictures is planning to use by the end of the year - it will add from seven to 28 days to production time, per title. 20th Century Fox, who introduced BD+ and has slowed disc production since the attacks on AACS, is expected to be one of the firsts to implement this new technology. BD+ is only available to members of the BDA for use on Blu-ray discs.

Dual Format Player Coming from Samsung

Posted April 13, 2007 01:07 PM by Josh Dreuth

Samsung Electronics announced today that they will be releasing a dual format HD player in time for the holidays. The player, currently called the BD-UP5000, will support both format with full BD-Java compatibility for Blu-ray and full HDi compatibility for HD DVD. While this is not the first dual format player on the market, it is the first official one. The LG dual format player was released soon after CES this year, but was not technically compliant with HD DVD spec, as it did not support HDi. Some of you will recall that this is not the first time Samsung has announced a dual format player. Last year, Samsung had talked about releasing a dual format player, only to scrap the idea a few months later. No price or specific launch date has been given to the BD-UP5000 at this time, but with their current BD-P1200 Blu-ray player costing $800US, the new dual format player is expected to cost significantly more. Samsung released the first Blu-ray player on the market with their BD-P1000, and more recently their second generation BD-P1200. The BD-UP5000 will be their third HD player on the market.

20GB PS3 Discontinued

Posted April 12, 2007 06:45 PM by Josh Dreuth

Sony Computer Entertainment has decided to stop production of their 20GB PlayStation 3 (PS3), leaving the remaining 60GB version the sole console in their arsenal. The 20GB version has proved popular with Blu-ray owners with its low price point and high end performance. The move, however, comes as little surprise; Sony has only shipped the cheaper version - which lacked integrated WiFi and memory card readers in addition to the smaller hard drive - to Japan and North America, leaving a single option to most of the world. Sony claims that consumer demand in North America - where both models were available - was 9-to-1 in favor of the 60GB version, so they will now focus on delivering what consumers have overwhelmingly demanded. This means, at least for the moment, that in order to get your hands on the most popular Blu-ray player, you're going to have to come up with another $100US. This news comes on the heals of rumors that a new PS3 version - with a larger 80GB hard drive and better BlueTooth antenna - will be released at some point in the future. It is still unknown if this new model will replace the existing model, or if it will be introduced after a price drop for the current 60GB model. Stay tuned. We'll keep updating as we learn more about Sony's popular Blu-ray player.

Imation Corp today announced the world's first inkjet printable and water-resistant Blu-ray media. Optimized for professional disc duplication, users can record high-definition video, data and other content on Imation Inkjet Printable BD-R Media with AquaGuard technology, then print water- and smear-resistant graphics and text right on the disc's surface.

Imation Inkjet Printable Media with AquaGuard technology also is ideal for reliable business backup of high-capacity digital files. "Imation's Blu-ray media with AquaGuard technology is the perfect disc," said James Milligan, General Manager, Commercial/OEM Division, Imation Corp. "We've designed each side of the disc for professional use. The data side features high capacity and scratch resistance. The inkjet printable side allows for creation of custom, water-resistant printed images and text. When used with Primera's industry-leading disc publishers, users can quickly and easily create high-quality, cutting-edge Blu-ray disc projects with ease."

Imation Inkjet Printable BD-R Media with AquaGuard technology is now shipping to authorized Imation distributors for a manufacturer's suggested retail price of $24.99 for a single disc with jewel case. Primera also sells the media with its Blu-ray-enabled disc publishers.

Blu-ray Software Sales Surpass HD-DVD

Posted January 9, 2007 02:38 PM by Marwin

Blu-ray software sales have now surpassed HD-DVD for the first time the week of December 24 and they did so by an impressive 20 percent. The sales gap is expected to widen further in 2007 based on research conducted by Twentieth Century Fox and Blu-ray is expected to outsell HD-DVD by a 3.5-to-1 ratio by the end of the first quarter. One of the driving factors behind the growth in sales is the PlayStation 3 (PS3), which was launched on November 17, 2006 in North America. The PS3 has been selling out at retail outlets since it was launched and despite shortages Sony has been able to meet its target of shipping 1 million PS3s in North America by the end of 2006. What's even more impressive is that they did it faster than their top-selling PlayStation 2 (PS2) platform did when it was launched. Sony is now targetting 6 million PS3 consoles shipped worldwide by the end of the fiscal year (end of March 2007).
