awesome! i am very happy this got a PCM track.
Now I wonder if they will max. out the bitrate on the AVC encode or just port the HD DVD one over. The HD DVD one did look fantastic, so either way its cool. |

Yes; finally! I have to admit that I'm disappointed its only in 5.1 and not DTS, but I'm happy it's finally being released. I can't wait to add this to my collection. My Paramount boycott is officially over. Thanks! I can now see Iron Man and Indiana Jones. |

Sounds good to me, 2Qs? though... A) Would this not be a new transfer? I know the old one was AVC, but there was talk of a new encoding/ master. B)If they announce the easter eggs, doesn't that make them not easter eggs? |

Awesome! It's nice to see Paramount use the technical possibilities that Blu-ray Disc can offer.
I was scared they use the same transfer the HD DVD has. |

Sweet. Im glad to hear i will have PCM and a new video encode. But count me into the group thats slightly dissapointed it doesnt have 7.1
All blurays should have 7.1, I fully believe that. Especially on movies that only have a single TrueHD or DTS-MA track (although thats not the case here). And no, Dolby Pro-L II is NOT good enough. |

For this reason i LOVE BLU-RAY ,really it is the ultimate high definition format ever made.No less no compromise.
Just i wish if we have this version released at the same interval of HD-DVD and we will see who is stronger enough. |

If this wasn't 7.1 in the theaters...why add it after the fact? I suppose there will be complaining that it is not DTS-MA...because that is the cool!!!!! |

Damn, hoping for 7.1 capibility but ooooh well.
So good that this is FINALLY announced, but I wonder.
Will the Blu Ray be like 50 bucks because its a 2 Disc or will Paramount be smart and only throw a 30 dollar tag on what soooooooooooooo many people have waited for? |

YES! Paramount finally realizes that TrueHD is inferior! I'm sure Michael Bay had some say in this, based on Paramount's previous releases this is quite a step up in quality. |

A PCM track and a Dolby Digital True HD track, this is why Blu Ray won the war, audio. I hope they give Transformers a new AVC encode that can put Blu Ray's 50 gigs to use, I imagine it would be. |

Cool, can't wait. Plus, it comes two days before my birthday! Now, if Paramount decides to also release
Iron Man that day, which is what I'm thinking they will be, then that would be so fraking awesome!
Plus Universal is releasing The Office Season 4 that day (at least on DVD, but hopefully blu-ray too!)
So, my bank account's gonna see a big hit that day. |

cool clayton thanks. So is uncompressed PCM a new format with blu ray disks? why are they ( the manufactorers) making a big deal about DTS HD master an true HD if PCM is better? |

I've stated before I didn't like this movie one bit. I've said I won't be buying it. But these specs, and all
these HD extras is making me rethink this. This definitely sounds like reference quality material. I just
might be picking this up after all. |
|

May 28, 2008
joevfx: PCM isn't new to Blu-ray. PCM lossless occupies more disc space because it's uncompressed
audio. DTS HD and TrueHD audibly sound as good (subjective) and occupy less disc space. |

Glad to read on thedigitalbits.com that this is a new video encode.
Quote:
"Again, we're told that the film itself also has a new video encode, optimized for Blu-ray, supervised by Bay himself." |

Perhaps PCM will be 16 bit and TrueHD will be 24 bit, so TrueHD will be the one to listen to. |

Say what you want about Michael Bay as a director, but the guy really cares about the fans of his films and wants to give them the most bang for their buck.
Now where the @#*& is Bad Boys II and the Director's Cut of Pearl Harbor? |

Having both PCM5.1 and Dolby TrueHD 5.1 tracks on the same disc is redundant. Both of them give you 5.1 channels. One is uncompressed and the other one is lossless. So, in theory, they should sound the same. More people can decode PCM than TrueHD, so why not make it PCM 5.1 and TrueHD 7.1? At least that will satisfy those of us who have a 7.1 system. |
|

This is a day 1 must buy for me. Good point tmok2000, a TrueHD 7.1 would be perfect. But I'm happy either way. Hopefully they will bring lots of special features (Im a sucker for special feat. especially docs and background info rather than making ofs and on set featurettes) |
