DEAR,
WARNER BROS. HOME ENTERTAINMENT
U.S.A.
With this letter Italian “Home Theater“ fans wish to bring to your kind attention the petition in support of a better quality of Italian audio in the Blu Ray Disc editions. The petition has been signed by over seven hundred Blu Ray fans. The request has already been send to Italian WARNER BROS. headquarter.
We are great lovers of Cinema and strong supporters of Blu Ray Disc format for the huge and valuable technical potentiality that it is able to offer. Blu Ray Disc is the only format able to reproduce, between domestics walls, the highest audio-video quality of the best Cinema experience. The Audio and Video quality is extremely important for us .
After 9 years, since the introduction of such support, we’ve never had the pleasure to enjoy the full potentiality of the Blu Ray Disc. Warner BRD offer a spectacular high-definition video quality but the Italian track remains, always, encoded in simple “DVD” audio standard.
Italian audio tracks in the Warner Bros Blu Ray Disc editions are still encoded in Dolby Digital at full rate compression (640 Kb/sec) or even lower DVD audio standard (448 Kb/sec) while, recently, French and German ones have benefited of DTS-HD Master Audio.We understand that probably all depends on the costs of authoring and duplication largely balanced of the localizations of each disc.
Many times we have noted, in phase of authoring, that all the huge potentiality (in term of bandwidth and capacity available) of BRD support are not completely optimized and these resources could be used for Audio “HD” instead of simple DOLBY DIGITAL .
The introduction of the newest audio format DOLBY Atmos and the announcement by DTS of the availability of DTS:X, adds substance and outlook to our demand for both Blu Ray Disc and the latest announcement “BD 4K”.
These latest new Audio formats as well as “HD” of DTS and DOLBY (DTS-HD Master Audio, DTS-HD High Resolution and DOLBY True HD) – have been developed for Blu Ray Disc and for that reason can be reproduced and appreciated exclusively with this support.
For these reasons we would be glad if, for the next editions, at least for the most important and spectacular movies, where the audio quality helps to enhance at best the cinematographic experiences, to use audio “HD” codecs also for the Italian language, so that every Italian Home Theater fans can benefit them, in keeping with the significant and uniques technicals features that the format can offer at the same line of expectations of quality Audio / Video which every fan wants to find when decide to buy a Blu Ray disc.
It would be very fantastic if, next time when we turn on our “Home Theater” systems, we could be able to enjoy one of your BRD movies with a fabulous Italian HD audio in line with High Definition video.
We thank you for your attention and look forward to hearing from you soon.
Our best regards.
