Hi everyone . I spoke to a lady at Warner Bros. yesterday , she called me at home and she told me that she had another phone call from someone regarding the lack of lossless audio on the current movies on blu ray. She told me to e-mail her or anyone else and she will forward the e-mail to the proper channels. so anyone can e-mail her at personal e-mail address edited out by moderator - CA so let's get to it guys.




We hesitate to post personal e-mail addresses in the open. Please do not repost.

Re: spoke to warner about lack of lossless audio

A respectable effort, but let's be sure not to abuse this. I for one appreciate what WHV has done with HD media so far. And while their support for lossless audio has been hit or miss in some cases, their handling of the medium from day one has won my respect, compared to some other movie companies. This includes the product generated before the switch to Blu.

I would just ask that this lack of lossless issue not become too volatile as to diminish their work thus far.

From what I've heard, Warner understands and gets it as far as lossless audio and supposedly even DNR. However, they've had product in the pipeline for quite some time which they're not going to go back to, so it will probably not be until next year before we see more consistency from title to title.

Re: spoke to warner about lack of lossless audio

hey guys , i felt i did the right thing by leaving the e-mail of the person i spoke to , after all she gave me her e-mail , i did not ask for it. furthermore i feel like most of should have e-mailed warner, which I just finished writing , a very nice letter about the audio. I for one think this is a big deal.I for one went out as i'm sure other people did to and bought a blu ray player and a hi def receiver , which were not cheap to enjoy blu ray for all it's glory. then when a company puts a half ass product out ( and wants us to purchase this half ass product as well) which i cannot enjoy to the fullest is sad. after all guys were talking about 2 most recent brand new films here ( racer and journey ) that should have been treated right , not 2 films that are 20 or 30 years old , then you say , oh well. i was really looking forward to hearing these 2 films in lossless audio , because i enjoyed them in the theater.I just read that Interview with the vampire has just straight dolby digital and was in DTS on standard video. that's what i'm saying , there's no excuse for this.They are the only studio who is pussy footing around with the audio , the only one ( as far as new films that is ). just voicing my opinion here guys that's all. If they ( warner ) continue to do this , i will be selling off all my equipment. After all you are talking about a major studio here , not some little guy.

Re: spoke to warner about lack of lossless audio

They're a major studio alright, but you aren't little enough not to understand that you can't go around on this forum, opening thread after thread, soliciting people to write or e-mail Warner Bros.

Your previous thread contains a lot of discussion - also pointing out one or two different aspects.

So please, continue this discussion there, if you wish.
Not in a separate thread and pretending nothing has been said about it.
