"The Dark Knight" is slated for December 9, 2008 release on Blu-ray. I know it seems way too soon to bring this up but I thought some of you would be interested.
I have only come across Dolby Digital, no DTS. A HD rip might serve you better than the SD DVD especially if you have the h/w for it.
My torrent of the 1080p hd rip with dts is about 12gb and is downloading at an average of 50 kbps. I doubt i will ever see this finish.
Do you have a copy ?

Unless you are very particular of 1080p, if you can make do with 720p, I recommend rips by "nhanc3". Just go to any torrent site and search for "nhanc3 nHD" or "nhanc3 720p".
Most recent movies with 720p, at sizes under 2 GB. Very decent SQ (6-channel) and PQ (720p resolution). However files are all in MKV format. You will need to play on your PC, or connect to your LCD / Plasma on VGA port via laptop, I guess.
How do you play them churfsan? I am planning on a PS3 or a network media player for the same, still undecided though since wife wants a Wii and that's the priority.

Hi Moser,
Can you play MKV files on PS3? Or only DIVX AVI files?
Thanks
PS3 plays .mkv files, in fact as of now the only standalone player that does it apart from a PC. I read somewhere though that in China they were working on DVDP to handle .mkv files along with standard Divx formats. Don't know when they will be mainstream and affordable though.
I could manage to get my hands on "The Dark Knight" DVD from Big Flix.
The PQ and SQ are good, not bad.
However, as far as PQ is concerned, I also compared with a 720P rip (still being downloaded, with 2.3 GB size), the rip PQ is so much better, you can even see the texture of the skin of the characters, color is live, and the whole experience is so much better
I am thinking if a 2.3 GB rip can look so good, how will the original BD look?!!
I am thinking that since mainstream BD in India is still far away, maybe I should give serious thought to a HTPC, so we can play MKV files at 720p / 1080p till we get our hands on the real stuff. If we use PS3, will there be any advantages over HTPC?
Another thing, slightly off the topic, consider this:
1. All English DVD still cost Rs. 500-600/- in India, and no DTS most of the time
2. At this rate, I do not expect BD to cost less than 1000-1200 for the next 2-3 years, irrespective of Reliance role
3. It is quite likely that we may still get the BD without DTS/DTS-MA, or who knows, we may get only Dolby?
4. Reliance seems to have taken distribution of major studios, and they generally address mass market to keep prices down. Hence, low cost solutions only by cutting lot of corners perhaps
So, when can we get the real BD stuff?? Will we ever??

Saw Dark Knight Blue Ray in Rhythm House ,Kala Ghoda , Churchgate Mumbai...
Dolby HD DVD was there - but no DTS whatsever of any kind.

I did not see the Dark Knight Blue Ray disc, but saw others like "I am Legend", "The Matrix" and others released in India by BIG HOME VIDEO for Rs. 1200/- (around) in Music World. These discs have Dolby True HD and also Dolby Digital, but no DTS.
Anyone see these blue ray discs officially released in India, and the PQ / SQ. Please comment
NO , PS3 doesnt support MKV format ...
you can use this tutorial AfterDawn.com: Guides: How to play MKV content on PlayStation 3 (PS3) (M2TS)
or u can use Media Server to stream via Wifi / Lan ( with some PQ reduction )
I think PS3 should update with MKV support
