CRITERION e catalogo in Alta Definizione
Sapendo che l'ottima Criterion sono anni che realizza i propri master in alta definizione, ho provato a cercare in rete informazioni su loro eventuali scelte rispetto alla diatriba BD/HdDvd.
Trovato! Che dicono in pratica? Che confermano che la stragrande maggioranza del loro catalogo è già pronto con i master corretti e che non vedono l'ora di iniziare le uscite ma che per il tipo di mercato che hanno sono fermamente contrari a supportare entrambi i formati e che quindi aspettano che le cose evolvino.
Fonte? Questo post sul loro blog, firmato novembre 2006
I don't know if it's the question we get asked most often or just the one that people ask with the greatest sense of urgency, but here it is: Where does Criterion stand on HD-DVD vs. Blu-Ray Disc?
As you may have noticed, Jon Mulvaney has been under strict orders to duck the question, not only for reasons mentioned in Wednesday's post but also because, for the moment, ducking the question may be the only sensible thing to do. Consumers shouldn't have to take a stand in a format war. You shouldn't have to decide between a Casablanca player or one that plays Lawrence of Arabia. That either means buying two machines, which doesn't seem fair, or giving up on seeing some of the movies you love in HD, which doesn't seem like a good solution either. From Criterion's angle, the only answer would be to publish in both formats in order not to leave anyone out, but that would mean doubling our costs and keeping two sets of inventory, which would effectively make it impossible for us to publish the kinds of titles that, despite their modest sales, are critical to the Collection and its mission.
Don't get me wrong: we'd like nothing better than to have an HD disc marketplace emerge. We know how good our films can look in high definition, because we’ve been doing all our mastering and restoration in HD for years. I don't think any customer base will benefit more from the upgrade to HD than Criterion collectors with their discerning eyes, appreciation of the texture of the filmed image, etc. That said, I don't hear many people lamenting that they have no decent way to watch movies at home. No movie lover could keep up with the bounty of films that have been released on DVD, and most people I know still have plenty left to watch, whether in shrink-wrap on the shelf or waiting in their Netflix queues.
So in the end, while this is a hotly debated topic among consumers, it's not really a consumer problem. Whether it's a player that plays everything or a format that wins out or a compromise, any solution is going to have to come from the industry, and from much bigger players than Criterion. This isn't just a matter of quality or features. The format war has as much to do with patent licenses and pressing plants as it does with putting gorgeous images on your screen. At this point, any solution that would let consumers upgrade with confidence would be a step in the right direction, and as soon as that solution emerges, we'll be there. Meanwhile we are sticking to our knitting. There are too many important films still unavailable on DVD (more Mizoguchi, anyone?), and too many customers still waiting for those films, for us to spend time speculating. Just know that when Jon Mulvaney says, “As the formats continue to develop, we will decide which is the best way for us to proceed,” he's not avoiding giving an answer. That's the answer.

Ritiro su questo vecchio thread che avevo aperto tempo fa
Allora... forse qualcosa si sta muovendo?
A dicembre, prima della fine della format war, quelli di Criterion asserivano:
"We're ready to go. We've mastered in high-definition for years now. We just have to take the tapes and compress them in an HD codec. We did a Blu-ray test of one of our titles, and we're really happy with the results."
Adesso, a format war conclusa, dopo le continue richieste sul loro forum affermano:
"As you know we’ve been doing all our mastering and restoration in HD for years, and as soon as we're ready to move forward with hi-def we won't be keeping it a secret. Please keep checking our website and newsletter"
Cavolo! Non vedo l'oraSperiamo in una sorpresa a breve

UFFICIALE - CRITERION SU BLU-RAY!!!
Scusate il maiuscolo, ma questa è veramente una super-notizia!!!
Copio-incollo direttamente la notizia come riportata sulla loro newsletter (e di fianco ai titoli aggiungo il titolo italiano e l'anno)
__________________________
Dear Criterion Collection Newsletter subscriber,
We’ve got some exciting news for this fall, and we wanted you to hear it first.
Our first Blu-ray discs are coming! We’ve picked a little over a dozen titles from the collection for Blu-ray treatment, and we’ll begin rolling them out in October. These new editions will feature glorious high-definition picture and sound, all the supplemental content of the DVD releases, and they will be priced to match our standard-def editions.
Here’s what’s in the pipeline:
The Third Man (Il Terzo Uomo, 1949)
Bottle Rocket (Un Colpo da Dilettanti, 1996)
Chungking Express (Hong Kong Express, 1994)
The Man Who Fell to Earth (Uomo che cadde sulla Terra, 1976)
The Last Emperor (L'Ultimo Imperatore, 1987)
El Norte (id, 1983)
The 400 Blows (I 400 Colpi, 1959)
Gimme Shelter (id, 1970)
The Complete Monterey Pop (id, 1968)
Contempt (Il Dispresso, 1963)
Walkabout (L'Inizio del Cammino, 1971)
For All Mankind (id, 1986)
The Wages of Fear (Vite Vendute, 1953)
Alongside our DVD and Blu-ray box sets of The Last Emperor, we’ll also be putting out the theatrical version as a stand-alone release in both formats, priced at $39.95. Our Blu-ray release of Walkabout will be an all-new edition, featuring new supplements as well as a new transfer; we will also release an updated anamorphic DVD of Nicolas Roeg’s outback masterpiece at the same time.

Speriamo comprendano che regionalizzare i dischi ormai e' obsoleto e anticommerciale...e poi vivaddio,produce quasi esclusivamente titoli di catalogo,a cosa servirebbe?

Vada come vada saranno tutti titoli da prendere, senza discriminazioni.
Al peggio, sarà la spinta decisiva per prendere un bel lettore HD-SDI modificato codefreeSANCTUARY ovvero: "questo è il mio home-cinema, ce ne sono molti come lui, ma questo è il mio!" Blu-Ray & DVD Collection
